Just curious how many razors do you own?
I am learning a bit but have managed to accumulate 4 straights and now RAD is kicking in!... Lol there are just too many choices and I feel I need to try them all!! So let's see who has the worst case of RAD!

I started about 2 weeks ago, and I think I am at around 10 now...
Only a few are shave ready though.

I started June 2008, I have been very very choosy. I am up to 7 straights.
EDIT: Oh, and all are shave-ready, well used, and loved...

I try not to think about it....
14 straights and too many DEs to count. Apparently I'm part ferret and these things are so shiny!!!

Hmm, a dozen or two for straights and 6 DE... basically too much if you ask the good lady wife or not enough if you ask me

I started building alot of razors - than I started selling them off
Reason being - I was feeling bad about not getting to shave with them as often as I liked. My eventual goal is to keep 6-7 in total use. Anything more (at present time) is too many. All are nice razors - just not getting enough show time. Plus the issues of keeping them from rusting or staining - the sleepless nights - oy.
of course if money was not an issue....Game on.

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..............
