3 straights in total, each stored on a wire stand. I strop after shaving and just put them back.

Thanked: 4830I am at work right now so my rotation is one. Sometimes when I go to work (21 days) I just bring one razor one soap and one brush. I have plenty of stuff at home and usually at home I pick a razor and use it for a week. Brushes and soaps are completely random at home. At home my razors are packed into plastic bins with gel packs and put in my safe, except for the ones that I am using. I will work on displays soon, very soon.

I'm down to 45 in rotation (recovering from RAD). I don't use the same razor twice in a row unless I'm running some sort of test. Each razor was treated with Tuf Glide when first honed and gets a drop on the pivot about every six months. I carefully clean and dry them after use and store in silicone treated cotton sleeves.

I have a decent sized collection: 34 at the moment, I want to say. But only about 4 of them see any regular use. A Peter Hahn, A Filarmonica, A D.C. Halsted, and recently added, a Kama. That is not counting any new razors I try out after I buy them, or razors I just honed in prep for putting them for sale.

At present about 40. I have 4 in the razor box in the cabinet. when I go through those I clean and oil and put them in the safe and get out 4 more. I intend to reduce the collection down at least to half but can't decide which to go and which to stay.

Four straights in a toothbrush holder, & three DEs next to them on the dresser. After drying and stropping, I wipe them on a cloth lightly impregnated with mineral oil.
Keep your pivot dry!

20 ish. No set rotation just what ever strikes my fancy at the time. I always wipe the razor down after shaving with tp then strop on leather. I oil after honing then oil the pivot every once in a while. My straights that are in rotation live on top of the fridge.

Thanked: 154I'm almost embarrassed to say, just two in my rotation. (I currently only have three straights; I tend to give them away to friends who express an interest in straight shaving.)
Addition: I dry my razors carefully and strop them after shaving. I occasionally oil them with the oil that came with my Hart Steel razor, and store them in a used hinge-top tin that some Wrigley's Spearmint gum came in, on top of a layer of silica-gel packs.Last edited by JeffR; 07-19-2015 at 06:38 AM.
