How many straights do you have?
I was reading a thread "How to Cure SRAD" in the Newbie section....and it occurred that we need some frame of reference. How many razors do you have.....over 10, 20, 50, 100? I made broad categories so you didnt have to own up to any exact number if, out of modesty or memory lapse, you didnt want to say.
Of course, one with 4 razors, say, could be officially diagnosed if he was foregoing meals, healthcare etc in order to fund purchases. Anyway...I think the answers will make me feel better (my collection is at 9 or 10 since my initiation to SR shaving in early Feb 09) as I expect to be nowhere near the fringe of the bell curve. Own up guys!!
Best to all
Jim

Thanked: 523...
One new Dovo that is my every day, and two wapis that i snatched up now to hopefully give to my son's someday (assuming i have any) I dont shave with those much...only occasionally and then they get cleaned and oiled and put away.

I don't have an exact count, but it's somewhere between 180 and 200. I have an irregular rotation of ten regulars which is supplemented by any of the others who might catch my eye at the moment. I don't consider myself a collector since I don't specialize in any particular maker or blade style and I don't have any, except my starting ten, on display. I had RAD long before I joined this site and learned that it had a name. But, it's not really a problem. I can quit at any time.

14 and done.
May pick up the hard luck case every now and again to restore, but other than that, done.

Not nearly enough Over 100 the last time I took inventory but I don't really want to count them again. Like Satchel Paige said,"Don't look back, somethin' may be gainin on ya".
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Ten with a couple more out for restore and then I'm done. Although after saying that I really, really want a seven day set.
