    I have a 15 slot barber box where most of my regular rotation lives but I will also go through the main box and say, "Hello beautiful. Haven't seen you for a while." At least once a week I'll go visit the girls and see who I haven't danced with for a while. Of course there are a number of them who need work or are in various stages of restoration, and some that have just not become wind chimes yet.

    That way when SWMBO asks why I have taken the black razor apart 3 times this week and polished it and honed it I can tell her that it just isn't right yet and I am trying to get it perfect!
    Good one. Me too but i have about 5 colors.

    Its fun to look at the list of razors and find one that hasnt been used in over a year then find it for a shave. Just another way to enjoy shaving!

    I have 6.

    1 5/8 round point

    2 5/8 smilers

    2 5/8 square point

    1 tiny little blade, very cute square point but haven't tried it yet.

    I know exactly what I have so obviously I need a lot more.

    Wow. I'm definitely an underachiever here.

    2 DE (1 three piece, 1 twist to open)
    1 vintage straight that was a PIF
    1 GD that was a PIF to learn how to shave with then (when I messed up the edge) learn to sharpen.
    2 brushes, because my wife doesn't use her brush with the Feather TTO DE she owns.

    Pretty sure she'll be fine with me getting a nice second vintage razor so I can pass on the GD to another newbie. Past that, I don't know that I'll keep aquiring.

    I mean, I don't have a problem and can stop anytime I want, right?

    . At least you didn't say "never." You don't start collecting on purpose. It happens accidentally. I had my one heirloom from my Dad which I think was my grandfather's and wanted to get one NOS to start my own tradition so I went to an antique store and found one. They were all so beautiful...what was I supposed to do? . Before you know it you have over 100 and some you forget you have. Another mistake you can make is getting them to clean up and sell. If you do a really nice job on it then it's hard to let go of. I've done that with a bunch of them. They don't call it RAD (Razor Acquisition Disorder) for no reason. It becomes addictive. One word of advice: if you don't want to, or don't think you should acquire too many then do yourself a favor and don't save a search on eBay because just about daily you'll get a notification that new results matching your saved search have appeared... Or just give in like so many of us do and come over to the dark side. Welcome to the hotel California.
