Thread: How many?

100 crap goes on the crap forum. Just saying!

I had about 50, but a few months ago I decided to downsize to 7 really good razors..............now I have 13 and a few under/waiting restoration

I have 9. 8 are shave ready; 7 of these (all vintage) are my daily rotation, and the other (recent-production Dovo) is the razor I travel with when that involves getting on an airplane--I figure it's easily replaced if anything happens to it. #9 (not shave ready) is a very old Wostenholm near-wedge with the very faintest remains of some sort of engraving, maybe Masonic, that I got off of the 'bay. The scales are pretty shot and I haven't made up my mind whether to get it restored or just try to sell it as-is.

I had RAD until I had acquired the 7 vintage razors that I use. Then all of a sudden, it just quit. I still look and drool, and toy with the idea of picking up a vintage Boker, but I haven't yet seen the one I just have to have.

Jesus I feel way behind now....2 shave ready...2 need honed..4 de's


I gotta get on the ball!

Beware the man with 'only one razor'.....or was it 'one book'??? Oh well(:-)

19 and a 1/2! Cut down one with a cracked blade. All are shave ready. I would like a few more select razors...but over all I'm lucky to have the ones I own now. Shave on Brothers!

I have ten; three are not shave ready and will never be (one I need to throw, the other two just aren't nice shaves).
Of the seven remaining I have three favourites; a Red Imp, J.Askham and a W&B regrind from Alex Jacques. Also a lovely Kamisori of which I constantly fall in and out of love with.

I have managed to fill up 4 Alembic cases, thats 28 all up. 13 are shave ready the rest in various stages of getting them shave ready.

I have seen your "collection" Tom!!!

I'm sitting around 80ish in shave rotation but it is always changing as I'm aquiring or restoring. I like it at that number as I get to luse them more frequently then once a year.
