    I hope to be shaving free in the near future with my buying and selling! I LOVE deal making, weather it be razors or private equity!

    It's just like bass fishing.

    Except that it's with razors instead of fish.


    Don't try to shave with a fish.


    They're slimy.

    Good luck with this idea, I started with the exact same idea, "only 7 razors" then it was 14, then 21, then 28, and at 77 razors I decided I had failed miserably and came up with a new one... "No more than 100 at a time"

    I still have only 5 or 6 shavers. My rule is that all my shavers have to fit in the 7-razor rotation box my mother made for me. If I finish a restoration and use it for a while, something else will be sold to make everything fit in the box.
    I have some interesting projects on my bench, but the rule will hold.

    I thought we cleared this up when we had the discussion about razor "rest". Each razor needs to rest for 365 days. Guess what that brings the total number of razors to.

    A seven man team sounds good. Of course, with only seven guys playing, you'll need a few backups on the roster, not to mention a practice squad.

    And of course the AAA and AA teams.

    And single A team.
