I have about 120 but most are in reserve and my usual rotation is among about 30 razors. Every now and then I'll go into my reserve for a "blast from the past".

I started with 2 and had them for a long time, right now I am getting more into expanding into a small collection.
I am adding quality blades (both brand and condition) when I can, I'll probably stop @ ~20.Stefan

5 in rotation, with one to be restored (or another bought and the 6th to be given away; the Revisor site beckons) with one DE. With Saturday being DE day, I only need six straights...

I currently have 7 with only 3 of those being shave ready. The remaining 4 are at various stages of honing/restoration as I'm learning to get an edge on them. Of course I want more but I'm at the point where I can be patient to find the next razor.

Straights have turned into a passion for me. I don't think 2 or 7 would be enough. I think if them as highly functional art. And totally enjoy the aesthetic
