After straightshaving and honing for about a year, I have come to realize that I'm not only shaving with straights.I collect them.That goes for hones to, you understand this when you are well beyond what you need.And cannot anylonger argue for that straight shaving is cheaper than cardridge...

I own about 20 razors now, some shave ready, some a total mess, and some in between.
I have 4 hones and 4 more due shortly.

Of my razors( camera busted )ca. half is german, 3 english, 2 spanish, 3 american, one polish.
They are of various brands such as:Boker,Dovo,Henckels,Keen cutter,dubble duck,w & B,filarmonica,wapi, eicker and so on.

In the beginning, I really wanted big blades. But after a while, I came to the conclusion that 5/8-5/6 is the size, that gives me the best shave.I like both sq.tip and round.
I read a post by Glen about american steel, that made me want to try them out.I bought 3, and 2 og them are now among my best shavers.( I didn't get less hungry for american blades by looking at pictures from Glenns collection!)
So I'm really into american vintage blades right now!
I used to be a huge fan of Filarmonica, but after shaving with several different brands, I don't think they are worth the dollars.( I will get one more really expencive one, just to be sure)
Of new razors, my Dovo special 5/8 is an amazing shaver! I will focus on Dovos when it comes to new blades.I'm playing with the tought of getting my own 7-day set.With all different new dovos, and the box they sell on Classic shaving.For vintage, I will as mentioned go all american.And of course a few more Bokers, and one of each kind of dubble ducks.Mabe a few more W&B,and som of the other classic english brands....You see where this is going?

So what are you currently collecting? And why? How many have you got? And some pictures please!
