Thread: How many razors do you have?

I'm in RAD recovery, kind of.

I have one Feather SS.
I have two DEs that I never use.
I have between 35 and 55 straights, almost all shave ready, about half of them for sale.

I know exactly how many I have. Less than a dozen. The ones that actually shave: half a dozen I think. I am probably the odd one out here amond senior members, because I colelct neither razros nor hones. My main interest is in making blades, not collecting them.

There are basically 2 razors I shave with.

"Almost" enough....just need one more

I dont have found THE razor for me!! So i must keep looking for THE one.

I reckon I have 120

Ebay. You have to learn to read photos (believe me, it's a skill that I gather most people don't have), and then you can find all sorts of wonderful stuff that other bidders can't figure out and won't bid on. I haven't bought bad there yet. In the US $9.99 is a common starting price, and lots of nice razors go down without bids just because the pictures suck. Razors are a special problem because they reflect in a way that makes you think that scary things are going on that aren't. I've bought perfect razors that looked like they were all rust from one end to the other just because of what they were reflecting.

The idea is do you know what you have?

Thank heaven I don't have any idea. Reminds me of the part in Burke Davis's biography of Marine Corps general, the legendary Chesty Puller ....... Gen Puller,"How many enemy out there sergeant ?"

" A whole damn pea pot full of 'em sir!"

General Puller,"Now there's a man who knows how to count!"

Had over 250 and have reduced it to somewhere between 50-75. A couple coffee cups full, my "rotation" of 21, and a small box full that needs to see the stones. My intention is to have mostly customs & just a handful of commercially made razors.

15 personal

Those handles on coffee mugs come in handy when transporting a mug full of razors up & down the steps.
I will say that I have near two hundred. This is a very time consuming hobby.
