    So without actually numbering them, and according to 'Wullie the Sage', more than 150 pounds worth based on a 3 ounce per razor rule of thumb!



    THANK GOD...you didn't ask about hones! That would really drive the moderator at my Friday night meeting of my 'HAD Anonymous Therapy Group'!!!
    I think you may want to measure by the cubic foot. If my math is right you could say just 2 or 3

    Wolf, you need the services of 1-800-ITS HELL. They offer a twelve thousand step recovery program. The only cost is $1200 and your first born. If not completely satisfied your money and first born will be returned minus a 30% restocking charge.

    wait up!
    that’s a pallet load of razors in their boxes LOL
    no wonder no one has any vintage inventory to sell, the collectors ("RAD hoarders") have it all and you are only 1 of many of them LOL

    Wolfpack's razor repository.....

    Judging by those numbers, I'm thinking I've got a LOT of room to grow.

    300! That's a lot of razors! Quite an impressive count
    Well reading this thread has cheered me up a bit,, nice to know there are others who share my razor addiction
    When I first started straight shaving I thaught I would aim to own 7, (Monday-through Sunday) plus 7 has always been my lucky number,, then I thaught 'ah well, 14 is still a multiple of 7....... I now own 28!!! So I am frightened that if I buy one more,, I will have to bring it up to 35! Dam OCD,,, and dam my love of old Sheffield steel!
    It's become more about the razors then the shave... Is that healthy??

    I'm afraid a few of us can..
    My collection is large enough to give me a new shaver to use every day of the year.
    Should I so desire
