Thread: How many straights do you have?

Yep, only have one at the moment and its out for sharpening with Lynn Abrams at the moment and I have been a member of these forums for approximatly 2 years. This takes a little explaining to truely understand. Acquired a razor in 07 and shaved with it for approximatly a month, then lost interest, picked it up again in spring 08 and used it for another month then went back to my safeties. Wasn't until June 09 when I started having a bit of luck using my straight and took it to a family reunion and sucessfully shaved in a hotel bathroom with the straight, crampt though it was. Liked it so much and was having a lot of luck so I sent it out to Lynn Abrams for sharpening, explaining to the Mrs that its easier to keep the blade sharp then to take it from dull to sharp.

I am getting Straight Razor withdrawl now since my beloved Inox left for sharpening.

Ain't counted lately. Over a hundred and two on the way as I type this..... certainly enough to shave with but not enough to be satisfied.

I'm with Jimmy on this. Every time I buy a straight razor I find that I have one less than I need. THere has to be some way to end this. CarrieM said she gave up and that she expects that I will stop when they put me into a body bag.

I have somewhere in the 20's with only about 8 restored and ready to go. I need more!!!!

What happened to your Carbon Dovo?

Anyway, I have...16 (apparently...I just counted). That's almost enough!

Mrs sat on it snapped it in half.

Down to 8. A good # considering my razor holders (pipe stands) have 8 holes.

i got my first 2 razors on here, which got me totally addicted.
after that i went on a razzor frenzy.
My Razors - a set on Flickr
now ive got over a dozen, a couple dozen soaps and creams, a couple dozen aftershaves and colognes

5 that I have in my rotation, plus 4 more that I haven't decided what to do with. That's the reason I haven't been on the bay in quite some time for razors.

I have two here, one with Max awaiting new scales. Meh.
