Thread: How many?

This may sound psychotic, but I have way too many for someone who has only been using them for 4 months. I have been wheelin' and dealin' and sold some music equipment I wasn't using. I also started right on my birthday and got a bit o' moolah from my parents and grandparents. So I dove in headfirst and I have 19 Shave ready razors, 8 in the midst of some sort of restoration, and 3 that I have given away to people to get them started with wet-shaving, and 3 duds. I have used all of my shave ready razors at least twice, and most a lot more than that. I have also re-sold 10 that I either didn't like, or just didn't suit me. I sold some 4/8's because I didn't like the feel of the smaller razor.

So long story short I have about 30 right now . I have seven in a rotation(6 double jimped), and about 4 other favorites that I sub in and out... Well that's it.

I refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me.

I am down to about 32, not including two 7 day sets. Most are shave ready and I have a few that are resto projects. For some reason, I needed every single one and I still need more, even though I haven't used some of them. Welcome to RAD at its finest!

Jealous. I still don't have a 7 day set.

I honestly don't know or care.

I'm busy buying my last razor one razor at a time.

Not all of them are shave ready but I do have about a 30 day rotation. LOL

As a noob, hearing this makes me wonder how bad my RAD will get. It's like asking permission from crack head if I have the qualitites be a crack head too.

I have too many and not enough depending on which _AD has a hold on me at any given moment. Our love of straight razor shaving can be a long slippery slope but it is a great ride. : )

6 Mos ago I had 130,down to 18,all shave ready, all in rotation.

I haven't counted them and don't want to. I have way more than 20 and probably not more than 50, but they're all shave ready.

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
