My oldest and sweetest razor is a 3/4 hollow Le Grelot. I no longer have my custom razors, but I wish I did.

I noticed you were using your straights more often. I recall you saying that you limited their use to a weekend shave. Very happy to hear that you hands feel better. Happy shaves!

I am at around 30 so far. All vintage except the Double Arrow & it was used. I have yet to pay over $30.00 for a razor & many were in the $5.00 to $10.00 range. I have around 20 of them shave ready & mostly need to make or buy scales for the rest.

How many cast iron skillets do you 'need' at the moment ? ...........

Hey now, I'd have to go count lol

Started using straights over two years ago and have 7 razors. I intend to limit it at 7 so I can enjoy each of them more often and yes, they are all my favorites.

2 now!!! Yes!!! Dovo 6/8 & a Wade and Butcher!!!

8 at the moment, only 2 are shave ready though. The others, including a J.R. Torrey That I just finished restoring, are pretty recent acquisitions. I'm currently learning to hone, and want to get them all shave ready myself, though it is slow going.

My favorite has to be my first, a Ralf Aust 5/8 that has maintained a great edge.

I, being overly stubborn, honed all of my razors from the very start. It was a steep learning curve but I'm glad I stuck with it. I bought one razor on ebay from a man who offers
a honing service that was described as "save ready" to use as a guide for my honing progress but it was no where close to being being shave ready. After a year + I know what
shave ready is and I get there on my own thanks to teaching from some more experienced shavers/honers and from Youtube help - it is satisfying.
