I still want more!

I have at least several hundred shave ready razors in my rotation but I still need just one more.

I have a total of 17; 14 in my rotation and the remaining three are in various stages of restoration.

16. I would like maybe one or 2 more. After the initial buying spree, which was small, I haven't bought a new on for maybe 3 months. I have a couple particular ones in mind, but the budget is mighty small.

I've got more than I want to admit too. I keep buying them with the intentions of restoring them and either giving them to someone to get them into straight shaving or out right sell them. Problem is each one is different and I can't bring myself to part with them.

When I die they'll probably end up in the yard sale with everything else I've bought. So when I croak I'll have someone post on here when and where it will be held. LOL.

I have 3 razors, but using only 2 of them:
1. Theirs Issard *5/8 silverwing II #177
2. Kiebitz EMDE Solingen 9/16

Now I want to sell my third soviet stainless razor Trud Vacha 5/8 and buy 2-3 more razors to have 5 shave ready razors in my routine.*

I am up to 41 razors now, but only 37 of them are actually in the rotation.

I love every one of them, and use each in it's time. However, I have a full 7 day set now of Union Cutlery 'Spikes' that I truly love using. Strangely enough though, now that the 7 day set is complete I always choose another from the collection so I don't 'sully' the 7 day set.

How many do I need??? One more than I have.

14 in my rotation got 3 or 4 in the shop downstairs waiting on some time to hone replace scales etc.
