Thread: Team approach to collecting straight razors

I've decided that while I love buying straight razors, I'm going to limit my collection to 7 daily shavers. So here's my approach. I still want to buy/sell razors, so I'm going to refine my 7 day set as I find razors I like better. It's a bit like running a team, you have you're players but always on the look out for a good trade. If I don't do this I'll end up with 100+ razors! I'll probably keep 10 or so razors on hand at any given time, but the focus will be getting rid of anything that doesn't make the 7 day razor cut.

sounds like a great way for beginners to get into this method of shaving.

Sounds pretty sound, to me!

I'm moreso trying to create the dream team of razors. Like a razor rotation consisting of Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Patrick Kane, Fedor Emelianenko, John Daly, Derek Jeter, Michael Schumacher and Nick Swardson all shaving my face.

Patrick Kane, are you kidding! I'm sure you meant Joe Thornton!

Good luck in your future endeavors.HOG

I'm a chicago boy, myself!

Good plan if you can do it and if that is the approach you want to take. OTOH, nothing wrong with owning 100 + razors.

I initially limited myself to 7, swapping out razors now and then. Thinking back to the ones I used to have, there are a lot I wish I could get back. These days I keep more and more, but am also more selective about what I'll buy in the first place.

Well that's the plan, but even now I find myself wavering! I'll probably just end up with 100+ razors! I have this problem with wine, guitars, cars, etc!

LOL am I the only one who caught that .... I wonder what that razor looks like?

It sounds like a great plan and a great way to try out a lot of razors without... well killing the bank, if you sell the ones your moving on from.
