I bought 20 razors in my first month after starting a thread arguing that we do not need many razors to enjoy straight shaving. Now I am trying to live up to these words. I know, many here will laugh at me...

I think I'd like to end up with 7 or so razors eventually, maybe even less. Only the ones who feel truly outstanding for my face, my hands, with my honing skills are going to be left for use, not collecting. For now, razors from some famous brands seem to be in. Others, often by the same brands, are going to be out.

I have put up my second razor for sale, a 7/8 WKC from mr_barrence. To me it still looks beautiful - gold etching, worked back, custom 3 pin wood handle. Yesterday, after listing it I took it out, touched it up on the Lithide and stropped it. Did some test shaving, and it was very good. Suddenly I was thinking that I don't want to sell it... This is HARD! But I don't really need it, and it is not as outstanding as some of the others that I have...

I LOVE straight razor shaving, but would like to settle in with a limited number of razors (including something from the Maestro maybe for Christmas) and take back control of my life. Lately I have been an ebay hound and I hate this...

Wish me luck

Cheers
Ivo
