Thread: How many straight. Razors do you have

I have few around here some where?

Lost count.


Tim

About 40 - mostly German from the first half of the 20th century. I have some new Dovos, TIs, Hart, Ralf etc. I like to acquire old razors in NOS condition and hone them up to perfection and then oil them and put them in my drawer. Each week I pull out something I haven't used in a while or at all... I go through phases where I think I've settled on a favorite only to change up and start all over again. Right now I'm all about the Hart but I have a beautiful full hollow 6/8 Dorko on my sink counter calling my name...

Let me know if you have some good deals.

I guess i have around 70-80 Razors but i havent counted them, 5-6 soviet Razors, around 30 french razors, a few british and american razors and the rest are german.

Whats RAD?

200 +/- 30 (there's a big box of 'to-sell' which has several large lots I've grabbed or stuff I got at local antique stores that didn't ever get input into my spreadsheet).

80 of those are from before 1840.

40 of those are from before 1830.

Razor Acquisition Disorder. Closely related to HAD - Hone Acquisition Disorder.

My 13 year old step son just asked me last night to teach him to use a straight razor cuz he thinks his peach fuzz stache is a lil too dark but not dark enough to be cool.

Seven. That is more than enough for me for the rest of my days, but i think that such 7-day set is ok. I could easily get along with two.

Wait a minute! You mean to say you have about 120 (80 + 40) that you are going to 'let go of'??? Great...just when I 'swore off' any more acquisitions. I'm really 'screwed now...
