How many razors do you own?

[Graybeard57]

With a Sheraton en route, I'll soon have four: C1 Red Tip, FB, Aristocrat, and the Sheraton. Finally getting an OC.

 

[chaturvedi11]

I have 3 currently

1. Merkur futur
2. ATT S2
3. wunderbar

 

[Silky Glide]

Around 100 safety razors (DE's Gems, Shicks and Feather Pro sized shavers)

 

[DougK]

So instead of thinning the herd, I added to it. Here's the updated list.

I have five DEs, two of which are in active use:

• 2 Wilkinson Sword Classics (1 in use, 1 unopened and not in use)
• 1 Gillette Tech (in use)
• 1 Gillette Travel Tech (not in use)
• 1 Feather Popular (not in use)

I also have two replaceable blade straights:

• Feather Artist Club RG (not in use)
• CJB non-folding (not in use)

In the single edge category:

• GEM Featherweight (in use)
• Razorock Hawk in satin finish (shipping to me as we speak)

Finally, I have the following cartridge handles:

• Mach 3 (in use)
• Gillette GII (in use)
• Generic wood and brass Trac II-compatible handle (not in use)
• Gillette Guard (in use)

I plan to thin the herd shortly.

Not sure of the years, but I have a Gillette FatBoy (I bought myself when I was in college in the early 60's), an Adjustable Slim, and a Gillette Super speed which is my travel razor. I like and use them all at one point or another.....

I have gone over 100 razors now by quite a bit. Maybe up to somewhere near 125 now. I need to do an update to my inventory spreadsheet to know for sure. RAD is quite a powerful opponent.

I used to have about a dozen 40's style SS. I PIF'd or sold most I no longer use. I think those DE's left include:

1. Merkur 34G - the only DE I've used for the past 3 years.
2. 1952 SS (w/ case) my first DE bought from AsylumGuido when I first joined.
3. 1951 SuperSpeed with case (my backup to the 1952).
4. 1941 Aristocrat (my stepfather's razor). A gift from his parents when he was drafted into WW2 & never used.
5. A couple of beater SS from ebay that I never cleaned up. I don't know their condition.
6. A late 40's Aristocrat I never cleaned up because the doors don't seem to align properly & it's too aggressive for me.

I own 3 saftey razors. One is my grandfather that was used in the 1940's that I don't use; a Merkur short razor that I started off on and the third is my Merkur Futur that I have been using for the last 10 years.

I also have a Schick Hydro 5 that I used when I am in a rush or my electric

 

[jamiecm]

1. Weber Polished Head
2. Merkur 34C HD
3. Merkur Progress
4. Gillette Tech
5. Fatip Gentile

 

[Rellik137]

I own a humble 6 that's 4 safeties one shavette and one straight

 

[bwc1976]

5 if you're counting safety razor heads (since they each have their own personalities), 3 if you're counting complete safety razors, 6 if you're also including electrics and other "modern" crap:

Van Der Hagen Traditional Safety Razor
Maggard V3, V3A, and V2OC (all sharing the same Maggard MR11 handle)
Parker Variant (all around best performer, although I still like the deeper knurling and shorter length of the Maggard handle best)
and a Norelco piece of crap which takes 10 times more effort and leaves my face 10 times more sore than the safety razors

 

[raydoc]

three: Merkur 34c, EdwinJaeger 89 with knurled handle, Parker 99r. And preferred in that order.

 

[J-MN]

Three at the moment, listed in the order in which I received them.

1) Edwin Jagger DE89 with Weber handle
2) Feather AS-D2
3) Timeless

No plans to add anything for the foreseeable future, although there's certainly some others I'd like to try.

 

[genuinestyle]

66 flare tip
R89
1953 ss
Gillette fat handle tech
slim ajustable ,
plan on adding an early 1947-50 ndc ss, and 50's flare tip,,,thats where it stops

 

[BigPete]

Three DE razors. A Parker Variant, a Parker 99R and a Van Der Hagen.

I was planning on adding a stainless steel razor, but I like the Variant so much that I may be finished buying razors.

I also have handles from every major cartridge razor since 2005 lying around plus two original Atra handles.

How often do you use a safety razor when you have some nice straight razors? What makes you decided each day which one to use. (I am thinking about a Hart Steel 5/8).

It's tough deciding which razor to use! I just try and create some rotation to give them all some love.
