Thread: To those guys with big razor collections:

I've got about 25 straight razors in total, but I don't have them all in a rotation or anything. I have my favorites, and those are the ones I typically take the time to sharpen. Rather than refresh the edges on them right away when they dull down, though, I simply start using the one I like best after it. Whichever is the sharpest. Probably around 5 or 6 is what I use most. Some see little to no use, though they're still nice razors.

It's kind of like my sock and underwear drawer. When everything is clean, I enjoy a lot more freedom in moving from pair to pair. However, when the ready supply dwindles, I become a lot more reliant on one or two, often putting off on a wash.

I have 2 shaveready razors, a feather, and a razor in need of a touch up.

I simply spend too much time restoring razors to build up a collection of my own.
I have a couple of really nice things in my restoration pile, but every time I come close to actually working on them, someone asks me to do another restoration.

But even then, I suspect that I will end up selling the razors that I restore, because I don't need a lot of razors just to shave. (blasphemy, I know... )
That way I can buy more stones and more equipement to restore razors with.

mistake...

Shaving razors - 2 matched Edgar Allen singing edge for when I'm chirpy, One 5/8 stock Kropp for everyday stuff, a 150+ year old Remie Neppo wedge when I want a change, a 6/8 full hollow W&B for when I forgot to shave for a few days and an 8/8 full hollow Kropp for penitence.

And about 400+ in various stages of usability but I try to keep them quiet!
