Thread: How Many Razors Do Newbies have?

I started about 3 weeks ago. I unfortunately bought a couple cheapo bad ones before I found SRP. Now I have a good one shave ready coming to me. I will then say I have one. The other two don't count in my book.

one Master(yeah.... now you tell me)
one disposible(never did like disposibles)
one Spike(in the wings)(mom still has(ggrandads))
and
2 gold dollars from Rup enroute.

One in the mail. If I manage to not disfigure myself I plan to buy at least one more, just to switch it up every once and a while.

Just 2 now. Although, with the variety of beautiful razors out there, I can see how hard it would be to keep from getting to the double digits!

i've been SR shaving since may and i just broke into double digits. number 10 is a beauty though

I have one razor.

My face has met with four different razors after about a year now. The first was a Van Camp Hardware Blue Ribbon. It quickly feel out of rotation for a few reasons. Another is a Genco that I rescaled and has been waiting for it's 3rd set of scales for some time now. (I've been busy) The two I use right now are a no-name 13/16 "Trenton" stamped razor that's about a III on the grind scale I hastily put into some lexan scales and a Boker Red-Injun.

So for now, after a year, I'm a 2 Razor guy.


I have a W&B Chopper, a Worth & Sons, the Genco, a Shumate, a J.R. Torrey, and a Joseph Allen & Sons waiting for scales.

(I've got walnut, bubinga, wenge, and paduak on the way. I have some time this winter and I'm looking forward to it!)

I have 2 that I am currently shaving with, and 2 that I am restoring for use.

That's a lovely case. Might I ask where she found it? Does it have any kind of moisture resistance?

I plan to build one for myself, but I can't do much woodworking in the winter (too much snow). I'd consider purchasing a nice case now though. Then I would just have 2 when I build mine

Nice collection too btw!
