Thread: How Many Razors Do Newbies have?

Well, I have 3.

1) bought locally, not shave ready!
2) bought from SRD.
3) 3 bought slightly larger blade.

Now looking for a 7/8 or 8/8 blade to see what I like best.

I think I may have a bit of RAD.

I'm still in my first month of SR shaving and I've collected 4. I wanted to sample 6/8, 5/8, 4/8 and 3/8.

My fave is my 4/8, but unfortunately they seem to be a bit hard to find. Would love to find a high-end one restored round point....

I'm new enough - about 6 months. I have three. Bengall 13/16, Wostenholm 5/8, and a Wapi. I would love to have more, but the $...soon! It's not much, but it does let you work on consistancy without being distracted by too many choices

I just counted and I currently have 21. I've been straight shaving for a couple of months now.

5 are shave ready and I just shipped 5 more off to be honed. When those get back I'll sent 4 or 5 more. The rest I don't consider good enough to spend any more on but will use them to learn honing and stropping on.

I'm not finished collecting, yet.

Even though I have yet to shave for the second time due to waiting on a strop to arrive, I know that this is for me and have bought:
1) Dovo best quality full hollow round point from SRD
2) Henckels square point "shave ready"
3) H. Boker square point that needs new scales
4) H. Boker round point
5) J.R. Torrey Co. square point
6) Wilhiem Mutz Soligen round point

I'm not exactly sure which grinds they all are yet, but am hoping that when they start showing up in the mail there will be an assortment, so I may narrow in on the style and grind I like most. I am also hoping that being a novice to straight razors, I didnt make some bad choices since I bought the last five on ebay.

I have been straight shaving for 5 weeks.

I have seven. Six are shave ready and in rotation. I started with two shave ready and four that I used to practice honing which now are shave ready and in rotation.

One (my seventh), was given to me free and am restoring it. It needed a lot of rust removal on the blade and new scales (which I'm making from scratch). Feedback on the maker is that it is a good blade, so it to will be a keeper.

One, but quickly compiling a list of about 20 that I would like to get

I literally JUST started in the last two weeks, and I have a new Edwin Jagger and a very spiffy Bengall I picked up from a SRP user.

When I was a newbie I had five. Even then I found ebay to be irrisistable.

Well, I’m a newbie and I have five shave ready razors but a drawer half filled with projects. I went through a buying stage in the beginning because I was sure that straight razors were going to “dry up”, though I not so sure now…
