its just nice to be able to have something new and different. I look at like buying a different car or getting a new women. You just want a different ride sometimes.

I have had many safety razors because there isn't money for another Porsche and there isn't space for more motorcycles. Like flea-market salvageable straights I find them to be a relatively inexpensive hobby and a harmless vice.

Got my first, a Parker, as a back-up/alternative when I began SR shaving. Then saw a 1964 Gillette adjustable, the same as I had when I first started shaving, then I saw how reasonably priced a Merkur 43c Stainless was and how sweet it looked, and then I saw that Maggard had a really heavy big stainless handled razor, then I saw how everyone was talking about how aggressive a beast the Muhle R41 was, so I bought the R41 head and put it on the heavy stainless Maggard handle, and then I was happy, for now.

If you hang around here long enough you'll know why .........
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

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.

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.
