Thread: I'm so proud!

Reduced the herd to only 2:
Plisson HMW 12 horn
Custom Matt Super Silvertip ivory handle

Well, also the Burma and the Proraso, which I don't count - they are so cheap (but still work great!)

Now I have to deal with the razors this will be much tougher. I really respect people with just a few great razors. I think Iwan is closest to this ideal? Needless to say, I don't have much respect for me in that aspect...

Way to go Ivo I'm thinking a total of 3-4 real brushes for myself. However, I don't think I'll be thinning out my rotation too much. Too many of my babies are great shavers and I'm expecting to add a couple that I have on my project bench. However, I may have my regular greats and a secondary rotation system worked out

Ilija,

I have decided that I cannot possibly have even only one of each razor that's a great shaver without losing respect of myself. I mean, if there were 10, 20, even 50 razors like that it *might* have been OK. However, this is not the case. So I will gradually start reducing their numbers. Can't decide on a final number though - even top 20 is tough to choose!

You are happy because you are at peace with yourself. So are the people who have hundreds and enjoy it. For me - I just can't get over the idea that I only "need" a few and all else is almost "unethical" so I can't really enjoy them as I would like

Cheers

I can only think of one in my rotation that I can get rid of and that's the bone-scaled DOVO Bismarck spike that I bought from Tony. It's because it has no sentimental value to me and it's a good shaver/looker.
