    If you hang around here long enough you'll know why .........

    In the past years it's been 1 razor 1 brush etc. but since I started with forums I haven't been able to pass up a deal at a yard sale or thrift store, and it seems like I've bought a few items on line. Soooo, I'm still trying to figure out how I graduated from a small spot on a small shelf in the medicine cabinet to a large 4 shelf shave den with a towel bar.
    My wife complained of why i needed so many razors, I answered, would she rather I collect cars. She asked if I needed her to drive to yard sales this Saturday.

    Mostly, I like the way they all look, a little bit of RAD in there too.

    For 50 years I shave with 1 razor & blade, 1 soap, 1 mug, etc. Just in the last 2-3 years I've gone form a small spot in the medicine cabinet to a small shave den, about 20 razors new and vintage, 8 brushes, 2 soaps, home made after shave, a few different blades. I think now, I have enough, I have settled down to what I have. The Razors? I only need 1.

    I've been shaving with a safety razor for almost three years now, and have only two razors and two brushes. The part that I am addicted to is the soap and cream. The worst soap I have tried must be the Wilkinson soap. I love the smell, but it did not provide any cushion nor good lubrication.

    I do like a bit of variety in my gear, DE's included
    A Feather compared to a Mühle R41 is like white bread compared to a really hot vindaloo dish..
    Both does the job, as far as filling you up just fine, but man are they different in character.

    Very true. I did some extra work last weekend and got some extra money to spend. I just got myself a Merkur 37C. I wanted to try something different. I hope I won't regret my purchase.

    I like having options. My 2 favourites are my Parker 91R and my cheap Timor that I originally bought as a backup/travel razor. The Parker is very good but can sometimes feel a little too aggressive, so if my skin is still suffering the day after I'll switch to the Timor which is much more forgiving and is actually very slightly adjustable (which I found out by accident).

    The Mekur 37C (slant bar) that patricksrp mentions was my first. It has a pretty large gap b/w plate & head, so is fairly "aggressive" (for me, anyway): you have to pay attention to not get bit.

    I bought a Gillette travel tech b/c it's got a much smaller gap: you can whip that thing up & down your face without fear.

    Finally, I bought a Gilette NEW long-open-comb cuz it's so pretty.
    Keep your pivot dry!
