Thread: A deeply personal question.

I've got over 30 but I'm selling around half of them. Money would be better spent on other things right now.

I just got an idea for another thread.

oops! Just did a quick look thru all the boxes at home, did a little counting.......647 so far, didn't bother counting cracked blades that need to be tossed. Still some more blades tucked away at my other shop, maybe a couple dozen at most..... I think.
As far as quality vs quantity, I always try to buy the best quality of quantity I can find, and make sure that what I'm purchasing can be turned into quality if it isn't there yet. Like some of these

I have not counted the buggers. They reproduce too fast!

I can safely say I have 'scads'.

Need not just buy it cause I don't have it. It's been the same with razors, I now have 13, it was 14. 10 customs, my vintage are prime examples, and 2 were gifts so they mean more to me than new. Now don't ask about brushes. Tc

A very good point!

I have moved around enough so a return policy or a life time guarantee doesn't mean much. Except for NAPA

Might need an ointment for that

I believe I have found some, Oz! Seems to be working!

If you need me to I can fix that problem for you Tom, and for a very low fee.
I have not counted either. More than I use and less than I want.
Some come and go others are more long term residence.

Well, seems there are some here which belong to you! Don't forget to count those!
