1. The six that I keep in my rotation have run me about $400, though one was a gift so I'm not counting that. I have a bunch more in the to-be-honed pile, couldn't say off the top of my head what they've all cost.

2. I started in Feb, but I couldn't really say how much I've spent in total. I have "made" back some of the money I've spent by doing light resto and honing razors, but as we all know, you never "make" money to make up for the time that goes in. Not to mention the vaious hones and whatnot also cost money.

3. I find razors attratcive because I like all sorts of metal hardware. In my other hobby (computers) I loved to look at clean, well put together computers (especially heatsinks).

4. Initially, I bought a lot of less expensive razors in order to experiment with what type I liked. Of the six that I have now, I believe the Red Imp is the oldest; I believe from March. I have gotten more and more selective since then; buying one or two here and there and keeping the ones that I really like.

5. I guess that doesn't apply since I don't have a massive collection or a missus.
