Thread: How Many Razors Do Newbies have?

I started with one razor, I bought two off of eBay for 30 bucks but they are in the process of being restored.

I own just the one straight razor (only been at it for a couple of weeks). I also just bought a 40's Gillette SS to clean up parts I have trouble getting at with the straight. And will most likely get another straight soon just to have a better rotation going. Early warning signs of RAD perhaps?

I have two now, if we're excluding the replaceables like the Shavette and Fromm hair shaper. I have a Paki-made Marbles Damascus razor (which will be relegated to show piece only as it is pretty but not terribly reliable) and a Wade & Butcher full-hollow. And yes, I do shave with them.

I have 6. I only shave with 1. I'm stuck in Friodor Heaven

I have two. My GGrandfather's Frederick Reynolds (Grandpa Dan), which is being restored by gssixgun, and new Dovo "Best Quality" to get me going until Grandpa Dan gets back.

I am up to 5 now all vintage. Sent one out to Lynn for sharpening and that's my reference. Wonderful job he did, cuts like silk! Sound advice from the elders here thanks very much. Now I am ready to buy my first brand new blade.

I just ordered the starter set from whippeddog, a hone, strop & a Wade & Butcher 9/16. Following advice on here, I'm going to have the feel of a properly honed blade while I practice stropping & honing on a used Gold Dollar 84.

I just got a second one Friday.

I have 3 Dovo straight razors and 3 strops and have only been in it for 1 month.

I have 2 at the moment and waiting for my 3rd coming in the mail. I'm so anxious I want it here now.
