Thread: How many straight. Razors do you have

40 of those are from before 1830.

Spreadsheet!? You have a problem - admit it and seek treatment.

Bizarrely, even stuff from after 1840 interests me! I know! It's completely strange!

(The 'to-sell' box has about 30 razors in it, almost all of which are turn of the century, Solingen-made)

And GAD -- Gun Acquisition Disorder, KAD -- Knife Acquisition Disorder, and SAD (when your wife/GF catches you).

I currently have 2 razors in my rotation. A 5/8 Clauss and a 13/16 Wade & Butcher with another Wade & butcher on order.

And I have a lil AJ Jordan that I picked up at a Flea Market that I am in the process of restoring. Its coming out pretty nice but I think I may have put too much pressure on the lower grit sand paper and there are some scratches I cant get out. But not too shabby for my first restore.

My wife is actually really supportive about it and we are shopping for a safety razor for her to shave her legs with.
