Thread: I thought it might be fun to post all the stuff you've collected! How crazy are you?

The nice thing about us straight razor users is that MOST of us do not have thin skins!

Particularly as a beginner I think overcapitalising is a terribly detrimental thing, you can't figure out the square root of bugger all if you change your razor and/or soap/cream and or strop on an almost daily basis. All you learn is how to use lots of stuff badly.

Nicely put ed.Have lost count how many razors I have purchased, well over 100. Pretty much stuck to two razors for the first six months, both 5/8 full hollow. I would encourage anyone new to read your beginners tips.

Oh my, I'm not sure this is a good idea;
It has been years since I took pics of my meager collection, but here's a few old ones with some of the stash.

Anyways, here's my travel kit for honing:



And here is my hone-station:



And a few of my custom razors that I had an old pic of:

The level of sickness is great I see my future and it looks pretty awesome. What a cool hobby to have loving the pictures.

I am trying not to let myself fall to the sickness. I only have 7 SRs. I will have to take a pic tomorrow to show you.

Sorry brother it's like getting bit by a zombie there's no turning back now lol

Now Now I am not going to be like you guys now. I swear I have enough razors, but I could use another 5 or 6 brushes so that doesn't count.

Ok stop me if this sounds familiar to anyone. I told my girlfriend I'm going to buy two SR and then I can save money on buying disposable razors. Just what I've spent in 3 months I could have bought disposables for the next ten years.

Ummmm, yes, you may stop now!
