Thread: How many SRs do you currently own?

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.

My most recent purchase, a Genco, also said shave ready and was not. Fortunately I purchased my Aust from S.R.D. and know what real shave ready feels like. It's nice to have a standard that I can reach for, though it looks to be quite a while before I get there.
A Norton 4k/8k and a coticule bout is pretty much the extent of my current set up, but I'm enjoying the learning process...mostly lol.

I think I have somewhere in the 350 range, but my record keeping went to hell when I moved. Last official count was 288, but I've gotten a lot since then.

I feel over limit with 10... Knowing there's others with 20-30X my total will help me sleep better 😀

i feel better with some of these numbers being quoted - i felt guilty knowing i had soem razorsgoing unused for weeks and weeks due to having too many. With 30 or so - its nothing like 350!

Mmmm, almost ashamed (but not really)! Stopped counting when the last page of my record book reached 400, and then added a few more, and then got hooked with sets of 7 (5 sets now). Some shave ready, most needing restoration. But my favourite is still the old English razor with the cracked blade that was one of a batch brought into Australia from Sheffield for sale in 1839-40. Pioneer days! I can set its age because of the tang stamp and that firm only existing for 2 years.

I now have 8 in my collection and I don't see it increasing too much more than that.

4 x Solingens
2 x Japanese
2 x British

Simply amazing actually astounding, mind boggling, over whelming, oh, oh, oh. Wheeu. I have been going nie on 30 plus years and I have less than 20. There are no favorites, I just use them, all of them. I thought I was terrible and my wife found my collection rather over zealous.

My little woman told me the same thing, that is what they do.

I said that about the number of pairs of shoes my wife owns, yet somehow, she said that doesn't count, it isn't the same, she wears her shoes she says. Well I use my razors, each and every one, well, it seems it just not the same....right...women, can't live with em, pass the ketchup.

27 this week...
