Thanked: 12How many razors in you rotation?
I have been wondering for a long time how many razors have the average SRP member (if there is such a thing as an average member!) in their rotation. I haven't been shaving with a straight razor for a very long time and I've already got 52 and I'm still keeping an eye for more. Is this number too excessive?
Would you share how how many you got?
All the best

I don't think that is excessive at all
If it is, then we are not alone:

I have two right now, a primary I use every day and a back-up I use maybe once a month.

Thanked: 993I have 14, and I'll probably whittle that down to 10 or 12. They are all blades that I've watched for and would like to have. I think having 500 would be pretty neat too, but I feel an odd sense of intimacy with each of mine. I know how they all shave, and often I pick the razor based on my mood or how my skin feels that day.

I'm a bit more practical. I have 6: 5 shave ready & 1 to restore.

I might be a bit of a weirdo but I now have 7 instead of a whole lot and feel happier as before.

Thanked: 1195I'm not much of a collector. I currently have 14 in my rotation, all of them top tier, well respected brands in varying sizes, grinds and points. Seems like a good number, many more than that would risk losing the "intimacy factor" that Maxi was talking about.
