Twenty or so. I have five or six that are always ready to choose from, with another on it's way. I'm thinking i may cut back & just keep the one's i truly love!

8 so far, and I haven't even bought one. They were all gifts. I have one on the way to get honed, depending on how the shaves go, I will probably send two or three out for honing as well...
I guess not paying for razors makes it easier to acquire hones, strops, etc...
(don't tell my wife!)

3 for now. As soon as the budget loosens up I will probably wreck the loosened budget. Oh well; extra cash doesn't shave my face.

I have 11 right now. Was planning on getting a couple more to round out the 2-week rotation but I lost in Vegas so my Dovo and TI will have to wait.
OH! And I have a Genco out for restoration by Max. How could I forget that?
EDIT: Crap. Vegas ruined my brain too, apparently. That's 12, then isn't it? I need my abacus. Yeah. 12.Last edited by Oglethorpe; 06-23-2009 at 06:56 PM.

Only 3 with a Dovo on the way from vintage blades. Hoping to eventually have 7, and never purchasing again after that!

I have 13 more-or-less ready to shave, including 3 Double Arrows and 3 Wapis. Six pretty nice vintage blades (Torrey, Morley, ERN, Hess, etc.) and my only bought-new razor, the Dovo Renaissance.
I have about 10-12 others in various stages of restoration.
