That makes some sense. Although it goes against my not wanting things just for the sake of having them. Not like I'd destroy the unwanted razors lol.

Now I have this bright idea to whittle it down to like 4 or even 8 if I can't keep it at 4 and ONLY keep the razors that shave me the best. Completely regardless of looks. I know it would probably devastate me too. Am I sick or something? Considering the looks of a razor are very important to me, this would be so hard to do. I have realized though that I really only want to keep a razor if I love the looks AND the shave it gives me. Not that any of mine don't shave well, but you know how some are just smoother or a better feel for you than others for no reason...

HAHAHA, my prayers have been heard!

OK, so I'll break the diagnosis to you straight:

YES YOU ARE CRAZY!

Now, for most folks, what you are trying to achieve above (razor rotation reduction) may be somehow possible.

However, as you have grinders, kilns, etc now at your disposal and you crank out fun stuff like this:


There is no way, and I mean NO WAY you will ever be able to get your number of razors under control.

Yours is a terminal case.....I suggest you get your affairs in order....


And ENJOY!
