Thread: Do I have too many?

I have been told that I have too many. I have 11 str8s with 2 more on the way. Is that too many? How many do you have? Am I wrong to think razors are like guns? If one is good two are better and a dozen or more is.......outstanding?

Oh, and I know if I don't say this, someone will ask....No, I wont send them to you because I have too many.

I think you do, but I am not a collector. I have 3 and think it is one too many.

I have about 180 razors, which puts me on the low end of mid-size collection.

Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Hmmm I will have to think about that. I have seen many 7 day sets, maybe I am just starting to make a year set. You are a lot closer to that than I am.

Too many, is a relative term. I have 14 and three more coming in Friday. I can't see that as a problem. I find good deals and I take advantage of them. I get 2-6 as a package deal and haven't paid a lot of $ for them. Most are Vintage and just need a good cleaning and hone. I will pick and choose the one's I want to keep and the rest will return to the market place. It's all good clean fun. Ya got ta luv it!

I believe I'm right around the 200 mark. My advice is to stick with top quality purchases and stay away from bargains.

So far most of the ones I've purchased are on the list of, good to have. I am new at this, so any help is appreciated.

Hey Chugach68, Pleased to meet you !!

Speaking for myself, I like to have one aspect of my life where I'm spoilt for choice.

I like my small collection (four dozen) of straights.
I like my small collection (two dozen) of soaps and creams.
I like my VERY small collection (six) of shaving brushes.

All jokes aside, razors are a solid investment and a joy to use
In my eyes, the bigger the choice, the greater the pleasure.

Spoil yourself Sir !!

Bongo.

is it even possible to have too many?

Quality is the key, not quantity. So you have 13 straights :
