DE Confessionals

[mark_mw]

A good friend started counting the razors I had on display - he was quickly reprimanded!

Anyone who counts my razors, or my guns, is not my friend

 

[Charles Darwin]

6.

If I told ANYONE I KNEW that I had 6 razors (one new, and 5 vintage), they'd tell me I'm off my rocker.

Here, I say "six" sheepishly - like I don't even come close to the standard.

 

[rodd]

Over 150, under 200.

 

[cixelsyd]

Only two at this point:

A Merkur 33c (Classic) and a Gillette NEW I got off of BST.

Of course, this is probably partially due to me being a poor graduate student. No monies helps to keep the RAD in check.

What you may lack in quantity, my friend, you make up for in quality. Those are both fine razors

 

[Lasse]

I´m happy to be as lightweight as a feather: I own a Merkur 39c AND a replacement cap therefore its one and one third

 

[akira7799]

- Parker 91R

So that's a total of 13.

 

[global_dev]

I am down to one lonely Feather ... Portable.

 

[dannymayo]

At the moment 10 DE's and 2 straights. I don't have the cash or room to have all the razors I'd like to. I'll only keep a razor if I shave with it. I have an Aristocrat that just doesn't do it anymore, so it's got to go.

 

[JeffJ]

Down to 5 - 2 techs, a SS, open comb Merkur and EJ DE89L

 

[Eiland]

Three for the moment.
EJ89
Gillette Tech 1961
Lord

Hoping to add a Muhle or Merkur open comb

 

[charles_r]

two.
One EJ89L
One 1970 long handle super adjustable given to me by my father in law.

Would love to try out an open comb at some point..

Right now i'm more affected by soap AD and razor blade AD

You said it.

I've got 10 (including 3 Injectors), but I'm planning to get rid of some of them.

 

[insight]

Just one - Made in Canada Gillette Tech.

Works well for me, I'm stickin' with it

 

[Niles]

late 40s super speed
merkur hd 34c
new

 

[Copierguy]

I believe it’s somewhere between 125 and 200. SWMBO quit asking and I stopped counting about the time it hit triple digits.

Make that 127 and 202.....saw couple more I had to have....

 

[Cal1961]

Not a big collection! Vision 2000, muhle 89 and fatboy 1961 G4. just about to take delivery of a Late '50's' 'pristine' giromatic. To be honest don't know a lot about the the Giromatic. Assume it's similar to an English Rocket

 

[Longsword]

One.

 

[amishmotorboat]

Holy sanity check, Batman.

I thought I had been doing a good job keeping the totals down. Sold off over 200 mostly duplicates this winter, with just a few unique ones that I just didn't care for. Still around 450, still mostly duplicates, and still have some coming in - and burned out/lost motivation for selling the dupes.
