60ish that I shave with (not counting individual blades from an interchangeable blade 7-day set). Probably 15 more beyond that, but I'm preparing to sell some that fall outside my interest range, which at this point has settled on oddities and pre-1850 Sheffield.

That's also not counting the three I just got from eBay and the one Glen has.

I can sort of imagine having all I'm going to get, but I'm not very close to that. I count my collection more by what I don't have yet than what I do have. (If only I'd gotten that George Savage the other day... I only have ONE Savage!)

I don't know, but I've got an Alembic Case on the way, plus one Dovo leather pouch, plus an old box for a matched pair of bigger blades. So I'll be culling down to ten soon. Simplify, simplify! And free up some $$ to grow my strop collection.

Oh by the way it helps to be single to accrue a collection in the high numbers.

Sick!

Hopefully by the end of this month, I'll have 5. Of those 5, I currenlty have 2, one of which is shave ready, and I'm awaiting the other 3 lol. I could never have more than 10, ever. It just loses meaning in my opinion when you have loads and loads of razors.

I think I've got 15-ish. I use some for woodworking, and some for learning restoration, and some for shaving. So, out of the fifteen I really only have three that I shave with.

So who is going for the 365 day set?

At the moment Ive got over 150. I was at one stage over 200 but I'm making a concerted effort to reduce the number. I've also got a cigar box with around 40 scaleless blades. I'd say that around 120 of the straights are shave ready

I've also got about 100 safety razors but I'm trying to cull them down as well because I don't use them very much at all.
