    I agree with the vintage blades. Most of the time I'm watching at old blades more than the new dovo´s or thiers issard. For some reason unknown for me I love the old vintage blades

    Beware the man with only one razor. For he'll know how to use it.

    I was just celebrating getting my safety razors down to an even dozen. (down from "heck, I don't know....") Only a few more I need, and I can take my time waiting to find nice ones. Then I ordered my first straight, which hasn't arrived yet. Here we go again..........

    Off the top of my head, I'm at work atm,
    I have 4 shave ready razors in rotation,
    1 waiting to be honed and put into rotation,
    4 waiting to be restored,
    3 enroute to my door to be restored (do these count still? ),
    And two DE's I have not used yet

    "As to me? Well, err...I can't say an exact number."

    No foolin'. I refuse to count them. I would, however, be open to counting the smiles they put on my face.

    'Hope everyone has a similarly torrid love affair w/ their rotation.
