Thread: How many straights do you have?

Six, but hoping to up that number soon, hopefully with a nice wedge.

2 in the mail. Have not even shaven yet

For an average of 16, this gives me an idea of what is normal for straight razor shavers. I guess I am still abby normal for straight shavers. Still have no plans to buy any more than two. I want to pack up the eight safties that I have and have just the two straights out.

Yes! That's what happened to me! Anyone willing to sponsor me in RCA? (Razor Collectors Anonymus)

I have 1 and a half right now. Still waiting for the time to make the scales for the one and Utopian has my other putting a sick edge on it.

I have 5,Two I shave with one I haven't tried yet and two I am restoring.

Who said we were normal?

I have six-all old and all different brands. I'm not actively looking for them, but if an opportunity presented itself, I'd probably get more. They are a good item to collect. Small, light, available, easy to display or store, affordable, easily mailed, durable, attractive, useful, interesting, good variety, sexy, and easily restored as compared to a lot of other antiques, and the public interest in them seems to be on the rise. I think I'll get a few more.

I just saw a collection of over 100 razors!

When I counted a few weeks ago I was at or right around 75. Not all shave ready. I'm in the process of selling approx 20 with 4 on the bay now.
