So I have went through the acquire collect use repair phases. I know my top three razors that perform for me the best. Also one close fourth. So I think I will let the ones not being used go.... Ok so the real reason is to fund my new BAD. Ugh so freaking addicting. This was suppose to save me money! :banghead: LOL.
I feel for you. I have a collection that sees little use and I should probably let 100 or so razors go. The issue is that it takes time to take pictures and post ads and then talk to people and then there is PayPal and the post office. Buying is just so darn easy. Good luck.
I just hate to see them not being used. Plus I have two brushes I'm geeking out for. So the moola has to come from somewhere.
i took that plunge recently of narrowing down the herd !! i really only use the same razors over and over so decided to part with a few as gifts to a man coming back from over seas , a new guy , and the bay .. my goal isnt brushes although i did trade one on a nice brush ... ive decided my wants went from quantity to what i would consider quality ..lol
I have bought and sold to fund the latest disorder only to find myself looking at replacements or near replacements for razors, strops, or brushes I have sold. Should have kept them all.
I should get help. Or get sell off some gear but I use it all when I can.
I hear you. I too am thinning down the collection. :(
Well if any of you ever wanna PIF this newb is looking to increase both the quality and quantity in his den lol I've got one shavette And one de And a horrible case of RAD and all the other AD's with no way of funding it.... lol

I have zero regrets selling off most of my razors,am getting so old I can no longer remember the ones I sold:)
I have, on occasion, thought about thinning the herd a bit myself.
But every time I do so, it seems impossible for me to find any candidates.
No, what I've bought stays right here.
I might just stop buying any more stuff, but even that seems a bit off just yet;)
Oh I'm not done collecting. My addiction is just migrating. I really don't see me finding any razors that work better than what I plan on keeping. So now it's time to feed the brush addiction a bit.
