Seriously -

I understand the "more is better" and "he who dies w/ the most toys..." but am trying to find reasonable answers to the question why we need so many razors.

Really wondering why can't I just have one razor that I really like and use it every day? I mean, sure, it's going to get some / lots of wear, but so what? My favorite grandfather had just one (I think) and was doing alright. My other grandfather had 3 or so (but some of them were broken, so not sure if he was using them at the same time or just replaced but kept unusables)... I already have 1 good shaver, 1 *beautiful* razor, and two practice blades for honing. And yes, already looking for other good shavers and handsome ones to buy... With a grand total of 3 shaves under my belt.

I am tempted to buy one nice and expensive (200 or up for me, but certainly not above 350) razor and just use it every day, with another one for backup (and I already have the back-up). I also suspect this might go better with my wife - as opposed to buying multiple *cheap* 100 razors.

The big problem is that since I am still new to this thing, I am not sure what is the nice razor to buy, not having tried many various sizes, weights, designs, balance, etc. I know I have to find this out for / by myself... just wanted to hear people's thoughts on the subject

cheers
