I have 5 razors... enough for now. In a time of crisis one must be content with what one has! It's a... working day rotation!
So... in order of purchase:
1) Dovo 5/8 "best quality" - a surprisingly good shaver despite it's former budget price
2) Shumate 5/8 spike point, mock-tortoise scales - what to say? I love her to bits!
3) Wapienica, still with the stock scales (I don't know why people complain about the stock scales...) - it's a Wapi!
4) Genco Gold Seal - perfect shaver... not the prettiest girl in town but she is good at her job
5) W&B Hollow Ground, spike point - a veteran among razors... it is a solemn thing to shave with her
And no! I am not planning on selling any of them!

HMM, I have about 40+ I rotate through for shavers, and a "project box" of blades and misbehaving razors. There's about 10+ in there...
I would say about 50-60 razors or so?

About a dozen sharp enough to shave with and about 10 projects in various states of repair.

I counted 54 straights (excluding a 7 day set which has never touched a hone). 18 are shave ready the rest will be made ready over the course of this winter.
7 DE's and 1 Mach 3 with a blade that lasted over a year.
