    Do not have a hard count but around 80 razors. I have been doing this for 2 1/2 years. Most come and go but I have my collection I will never sell. I am into Sheffield razors the earlier the better. Can't say I have a favorite I go back and forth. I love them all.

    I'm thinking high 80's?
    All shave ready.
    I have a problem with Dubl Ducks.

    I'd say close to 100 - all shave ready and in from good to excellent condition.

    Clearly, way too many, but the slightly more than half of them are W&B's, with a healthy helping of other brands, and I truly enjoy just opening my razor chest, randomly opening a drawer, and whatever razor my hand touches I usually shave with, unless of course I decide I want to use another...

    Three. That's pretty alarming when you consider that I started less than 2 weeks ago!

    Dovo Best Quality 5/8" (my first in a razor/strop set)
    Gold Dollar (a cheapie I got to make all of my mistakes on as I learn how to hone)
    Vintage ROBERT KLAAS SOLINGEN 5/8" (just got it in the mail today.)

    I have no idea.

    Somewhere in the 'scads' range, I would say.

    Tom, that may be slightly understated.

    Uh-oh. I've been successfully kidding myself that it's not too many, that it's probably not that bad yet. I guess I stopped counting at around 30 or 40 and it's more than double that now. It just kind of snowballed, ya know? I have so many projects I want to do, so many plans..... picture a giant snowball made of straight razors and that's about how many.

    Jiminy Cricket!!!
    Some of those numbers are staggering.
    I'm down to around 150 from 230. Probably drop lower in the next few months but plan on an extensive and maintained collection. Maintaining a giant collection though seems like a whole lot of work..
    Have been into SR for about 4yrs.
    Favorite? Impossible.
    That said, lately I've been noticing little details of craftsmanship from obscure manufacturers. There are so many razors that go unnoticed by those focusing on the obvious.

    Over the last 1.5 year I've collected and honed about 30 razors, all shave ready in excellent condition , and a 7 day set, very good condition, as a restoration project for next winter.
    I would like to slowly expand the number of razors, having enough time to keep the collection well maintained. They're all my babies :-)
