I have seven. 3 M. Jung; 1 Ralf Aust; 1 Dovo; 1 Gisen & Forsthoff; 1 Monopol. That can change at any time.
Ebay is an evil place full of too many deals.
Up to November I had 1. Then I gambled on a cheap vintage no brand for honing practice. Then my wife got me a Dovo bismarck for Christmas.
Since Christmas, I have picked up 2 more vintage bismarcks, And a Joseph Elliot. And the problem is I want a full 7 day bismarck set....
So I'm up to 6 with plans to take that to 10. And that's provided that I then don't go and start to look at another model or make of razor to play with.
The wife has actually been very supportive. Provided I stick to a budget of about £40 a month she's pretty happy. I don't drink and she says it's my evenings out that I have saved :D
In rotation: I usually fluctuate between 6-8... am currently at 6... and am considering cutting back to 5.
In the 'waiting for restoration' pile: somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 (haven't gone through it in a little while). Living in a townhouse means I have to limit my work with greaseless compounds to warmer months when I can grind and polish away out on the back deck. So I typically only crank out 3 or 4 restorations a year...
Four. Stayed at two for a number of years, and just recently doubled my inventory.
One is pro-honed: my benchmark razor. Two are honed by me to my best level yet, and one is troubling me slightly but nearly there. I call this state I affairs just right!
This is kind of embarrassing. There was a post about barbers hones the other day that caused me to count and consider. 74 collected in very good to mint condition and 16 on the bench. Sort of makes me feel a little over indulgent. Perhaps its time for a web site or some classified ads.
