I remember the day I bought
that one. From a female collector in her 80's near Bradenton Florida. She had some amazing blades!

i'd really like to consider myself a minimalist, but it's just not true...

Before I found SRP I only had two razors and switched them off from time to time using only a barbers hone to maintain the edge when it was time. Now I have more crap than I know.

I would say I'm a minimalist. I have no inkling to purchase razor after razor. Or to have a twenty razor rotation. Nothing wrong with that its just not for me.

Only been using one for the past six months - a C. F. Ern Es-Ex. After I picked it up last summer on vacation on Vancouver Island, I've since replaced the scales with purpleheart and it's my go-to blade.
Easy to strop, a joy to use. Can't beat that old German steel.Can it be barbaric and civilized at the same time?

Don't know if this qualifies but I use 3 different razors, one soap, one strop and two different brushes.

When I first started I couldn't stop buying. Now I'm pretty satisfied with what I got.

EXACTLY the way things fell into place for me as well Rick. I have tried so many tools. My Heljestrands satisfy me so much...and my Duke 3 seems to not ever want to leave me.... I have enjoyed a few new (to me) soap and cream discoveries in the last few years as well, but for the most part....I am set!
