I have had about 75 pass through my hands in the last year and a half.
Presently I have four. BUT there are two in the wind that will be coming back to me as keepers. The number seven slot is reserved for a custom Bill Ellis. Then I should be done for a while.笑う門に福来たる。

My first straight razor was given to me 2 months ago, from my lady. I am now up to 15, two of those are in my current shaving rotation. One is being restored, by the man
. One may not be able to be restored (hopefully the man can work his magic). The other 11 are waiting to be restored and are unusable at this time. I am also looking at purchasing 4 others soon.
Someone please cut up my credit card before the lady Kills me.

It hurts more to think of the ones that get away
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

That does not include the bottom drawer of "I might get to them someday razors" there has to be at least 50 in there....
Hi my name is Glen and I haven't bought a razor in 3 hours....

I have 11 str8s in my rotation;
J. A. Henckels, Frederick Reynolds, Wosty Pipe, 3 John Williams Damascus, Bengall, Joseph Allen & Sons Non-XLL, Royal Keen Kutter, Imperial, Genco Gold Seal.
6 others I'm working on that are near shave ready.
5 Gillette I don't use anymore;
1973 Trac II (bought new in 1974), 1930's Open Comb, 1955 Red Tip, 1959 fatboy adjustable, 1968 slim adjustable (the fatboy and slim are for the grandsons)
but I don't have RAD yet and hope I don't catch it, I hear there is no cure. Are you sure there isn't a salve you can apply..............

I started in May, and was at some point (not too long ago) at 8 straights, mostly because I was trying out different blade grinds and widths. Have sold most and am now at 3 straights plus 2 Gem SE's on the way (for travelling or those days I sleep in and need a shave in a hurry ;-) Still planning on selling at least one of the current straights and 1 of the Gem's at a later stage.

Hmm
Right this minute:
14 in the rotation
1 that I'm not using, just keeping, because it was my Great-grandfather's.
4-5 on my wanted list
RAD? Naah
