    maybe it's boys drink and then attempt to count four times over because they keep losing count!

    11 months since my hand first touched a straight razor and I have 20 straight razors, 1 DE (gave me the worst burn, I've ever had). All of my straights are shave ready, but I keep 14 in the rotation. Ill wait until i get to 21 , before switching to a 21 rotation. My goal is 28 in the rotation.

    26 Straights including five in regular rotation and eight blades in a drawer awaiting new scales (Masecraft order coming soon: woo-hoo!)

    4 DEs, all vintage Gilettes

    2 Rolls Razors

    I am a little concerned though that I felt relieved after discovering I "only" had 26 straights... How did this happen?!

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Probably 100-150 straights. Maybe a half dozen DEs. (I don't use the DEs)

    I really don't know. I CAN tell you I have way more not shave ready razors than shave ready razors. I really buy a lot of razors just to stare at it seems. On a positive note, I DO stare at them pretty much all the time. I don't have any that are hiding in a drawer, or under the bed. I'd call my place a razor museum, but it's honestly more like a razor nursing home. I take care of them, but I only ask the young ones to do yard work.
