It's not mandated that you have more than one razor (I just looked in the straight razor rule book). It does make it better if you damage your edge on the sink (or some other way) and you do not have the necessary hones or honing skills to fix that damage. Many people have a few, or several, razors in a rotation. I currently have 5 razors in mine. However, that is not required. You will have to do touch ups to your edge more often with just one razor.

I do, however, feel compelled to warn you about RAD. It's a rather insidious disorder. And once caught, it's nearly impossible to cure!!
