Yep, that's what happened to me!

I thought I'd got away with the strops but guess who just ordered a new custom strop from Neil Miller? I can't wait to get my hands on that beauty! Stunning!
Just ordered new soap as well... And and and...
Good luck with those AD's, let's talk in a year and see if you've stuck to just 7!

A 7 day rotation approach (plus a couple of extras) makes sense to me, swapping out older less favored razors to make room for the new ones coming in.

I am afraid I am beginning to resemble that remark; 34 and counting. Originally Posted by gssixgun

I'm trying stick to 13 myself. It's causing much grief.

So - 2 and 1/2 years later how's that "team of 7" going?
I'm guessing there are over 100 (or more) on the team by now.

I try to stick to the 7 razors. I have 8 now. I try to keep the ones I'm more comfortable with.

Sounds like you have good discipline Vic! That's an admirable quality in this world of straight razors. I used to have discipline… My rotation is normally 7 as well but there always seems to be an 8th hanging around the box. …and another few hundred lurking close by in my shop's storage. …and an additional few thousand or so just a keyboard click (and razor budget bank account balance) away.

You are two years my senior in straight razor shaving. Let's see what I will say in two more years. There are eight straights at home, but many lurking in the classifieds and ebay... Originally Posted by AirColorado

Some people have 3 years worth of rotations to pad their hone and HAD stats Originally Posted by JimmyHAD
