Thread: How many SRs do you currently own?

I am curious...

How many SRs do you own?
How long have you been collecting?
Do you have a particular favourite among your collection?

7 in weekly rotation, 3 in travel set and 14 for sale. Been using a straight over 20 years and have lost count.

Way to many to rationalize a reason for having that number.

14 razors, I've been doing it for 3 years, never really got into collecting them, the more customs I had made the more I got rid of the razors I bought, don't really need 14, I mostly use 4 of them all the time and the others I bring out once in a while. Tc

I am at 55, down from almost 80 a year or so ago...

I have been collecting for 4 years and I have about 30 Filarmonicas, every model they made. They are my favourite razor...

I suppose I should answer my own questions:

How many SRs do you own? Ten...hope to add more soon.
How long have you been collecting? About a month...yes, I know...don't say it...
Do you have a particular favourite among your collection? Not yet, but I'm working on it...

Over a hundred. I'm not proud, I'm a addict.

How many SRs do you own? 5; a Heljestrand Mk No.31, my Great Great Grandfather's Wade & Butcher, a Michael Hunter & Son Sheffield Wedge (the 3rd razor I ever bought back in 2007), a Thiers Issard 6/8 "Extra Wide" Eagle, and a 6/8 round Heinrich Klein Solingen.

How long have you been collecting? Bought my first straight razor in the early autumn of 2007, a 5/8 Wade & Butcher w/ barber notch. I bought and sold in excess of 800 straights in the following years leading up to 2016.

Do you have a particular favourite among your collection? Obviously, my family heirloom W&B is dearest, followed by the Michael Hunter which I have bought, sold, re-bought, traded, and re-traded for over the course of 9 years. My daily shaver for the past 4 to 5 years have been a smattering of Heljestrand MK N0.31's of which I have owned close to a dozen. I enjoy shaving with them the most.

***What is next on the horizon to acquire? (added this category myself) An exceptional minty set of 2, 3, 4, or 7 but I am in no hurry.

Around 60 or 70. About 40 of those are shave worthy.

To be honest, I do not have a count. Most come and go. There are a few that I consider myself to be the long term custodian of. I really like the Henckels brand. I also really like my pre 1850's bunch. I have had some really big names and other little known. It is a journey for me.
