Thread: Just curious how many razors do you own?

Four real straights. Double Duck Dwarf, Henckels 78 1/2, M & K Swedish #30, & an Electric Cutlery. Plus a Monsieur Charles injector blade straight.

I have four in rotation and about 40ish waiting to be restored.

I stopped keeping track. Maybe around 20.. I was up to around 25 but I sold a bunch.

I also have a Merkur 33c and a Gilette travel in the cute little brass box.

I'm in the process of "thinning the herd" to get down to a reasonable number. I've figured out the blade sizes and grinds that I like so anything that doesn't fit the bill will be moving on.

I have pictures of most of the blades in my signature.

Hmm. I was trying to keep to 30. I think I have around 40-50 in the shaving rotation. Got the custom bug lately. Added two Robert Williams, two Joe Chandler and a L.R. Harner to the lineup in the past couple of months. I have a good 100 razors go through the 'shop' in a year. Got to pay for those custom razors somehow, restoring old ones is a good way to do it. Now and then an exceptional vintage will find its way into the display case.

I try to justify it by only hanging onto unique razors. If I keep one, i sell one to take its place. Problem there, you eventually end up with all unique razors and dont want to sell off any. Then I build a bigger display case.

I just joined! I started collecting about 16 yeasr ago. I have well over 100. I havent counted. Probably more. When i first stated collecting them i thought about trying to shave. My dad said" what are you trying kill yourself ". I guess his father did the same to him over 30 years earlier. I continued to collect along the years. Reciently I have been entertaining the idea of trying.

I also have a rolls razor,4 de razors

I would have thought that most of the serious guys may have had 20-50 razors but I am surprised at how many have over 100!! my wife was reading this with me and laughed and said I thought you were crazy with 4! then she actually entertained the idea of me getting a few more so thanks to all you rad-a-holics for making my life easier!!...lol

Just started a couple of weeks and have 2 already. Just ordered 2nd brush.

Could this be RAD??

Glad to help with the wife! LOL!

I have around 20. I got a bunch through a couple of trades for some vintage fountain pens, which I also collect. Then I picked up a set of Naniwa stones and have kept an eye out for honing projects at antique stores. I am still trying to zero in on my favorite razor makers and types.
