Thanked: 171I wish this was a poll! I would bet that a lot of people either fall into the less than 15 or more than 100 categories, and probably not as many in the middle, where I'm at. I have 15 or so that are currently in good shape / shave ready and in my "rotation" if you can call it that, and maybe 20-25 in my "need to get around to it" pile. By the end of the year, I'm sure it'll be over 100 total, lol.

Seven in rotation, an additional 30 or so in storage.

Hey, I'm a noob
1...but with designs on several more. Like one of the posts above, I want to get my hands on a 7 day set and would like to get a few that I can play around with restoring.
But SWMBO may have something to say about my plans...

About 14 (per 18:00 GMT today). I've had more / I've had less...
The number is changing from day to day

Thanked: 48well gee around 10 at the moment however i have just started this most pleasent pastime. these are wonderfull tools ,the knife (our most bacic tool) elavated to the point where it transforms into art. and it is art when your stubble turns into silk after gently guiding a razor over the contures of your face

Thanked: 95324, probably get one more this year, then pretty happy with coverage.
Planning to stop cold at 25, unless an overlooked bargain just screams at me.

Thanked: 3795I have a lot of project razors in three main categories 1) Wretched Refuse--mainly for cannibalization and experimentation 2) Fixer Uppers--need major work of some kind but still have potential 3) Just Waiting--just need simple work like sanding and polishing, or re-scaling.
I shave with about 30 razors between home and the gym. The project razors fill 7 or 8 shoeboxes. I lost count before I even joined SRP. Is that a problem?

I currently have 12 "Keepers" and a few more that I'm working on/letting go of.
