Thread: To those guys with big razor collections:

OK, you guys out there that own 10+ razors:

Do you use all of them all the time? Or do you only use a couple of them most often?

Or, do you find that you gravitate to one in particular that you shave with most often?

Can you say that one razor above all shaves "the best", or is it simply a matter of different razors may have different strengths and/or weaknesses?

I only have two (so far...), so I'm interested in hearing from folks who keep an entire stable of razors.

I have probably 20+ razors at any given time. But my stable is kept at a seven day rotation. The others are on my bench for restoration and resale. I occasionally restore one that is has some special or unique qualities that might bump one out of my rotation. Consequently, my stable is rather good.

I keep 8-12 in my rotation. I try to use them all. Usually I will use one for 2-3 shaves and then move on to the next.

I think I have about 15 razors in various states. Honestly I use three of them more than any of the others. They are my favorites and I find that I gravitate to them.

I definitely try to use all of them, my current rotation has about 22 razors

RAD is a terrible disease!!!!
Right now I have over 50 shave ready razors, plus about 6 in the restore bin....
I keep 14 in a steady rotation every day a different one!!!!
As I get something new that feels better, it goes into the 14 day rotation, and something else moves into the second drawer...
These 14 razors do not include my Dubl Duck or the Shumate Collection those are reserved for Sat-Sun shaves

Rad is a terrible disease

I'm pleading the 5th on this question - if the SWMBO found out how many razors are at home, and how many are on the way, I might be in real trouble....

[Twenty some odd (thirty some odd pretty sood) - three in rotation right now]...

SO, to those of you who have a couple of "favorites", what makes them stand out? Shave smoother? Look nicer? Easier to keep sharp?

Right now I have 7 in rotation along with another 10 or 12 in various stages of restoration.

Is it a collection if they aren't shave ready?
I seem to have somewhere in the low 20's

I envy those with enough razors to rotate. I seem to spend far more of my time sanding than shaving.

I tend to like six guns approach. Keep it simple on weekdays...
Soon to be 5 days of Wapi's. I may have to trade in my Wapi's for Dubl Duck WonderEdges once everyone realizes what junk they are and starts selling them for 10$ a piece.

And special blades on weekends.
The big blades, the little blades, the smiling blades, the custom blades, the blades that need a shave test.

So far I have 3 week day blades and 1 weekend blade.
