Century Circle - 100 Razors

[spacemonkey42]

Have you shaved with 100 razors? Do you want to eventually shave with that many? Have RAD bad? Like a lot of variety? Then this is a group for you!

The century circle welcomes anyone, post what you've shaved with and let's chat. High five those who have hit this number or cheer on those who want to.



Disclaimer: this thread is not for you if you believe nobody needs more than one razor.

 

[spacemonkey42]

Set your own rules for how you count razors. I count an adjustable razor as one on my list. I count razors with different plates as multiple razors - e.g. Game Changer 68p and 84p count as two. I count razors made of different materials as different razors - e.g. brass and aluminum Overlanders count as two.

Monkey, do you own 100 razors are have you shaved with 100?

 

[spacemonkey42]

I have owned most of them. I do not own that many now, having sold off quite a few. A couple were passarounds, but I got to experience shaving with them. Some passarounds led me to buy the razor.

 

[ewk]

I have experienced each of these through ownership and generous pass arounds. The list "only" has 99 rows, but the various plates put the list over the Century Mark. Fifty-five of these are in my collection.

I'm in!!
Thanks for the invite @spacemonkey42

 

[LRod]

I'm on the same boat as Spacemonkey, I'm sure I've surpassed 100 that I've bought, tried and sold (some).
I don't have that many now though!
31 modern (including two that will be inbound)
15 Vintage
I've pretty much kept what I really really like!

I think you could start the Millennial thread ahead of @spacemonkey42!

 

[spacemonkey42]

@LRod, you should post what you've shaved with that would be really interesting.

@ewk, maybe the next step is we post what we have kept in our collection and what has moved on.

I will as I go along!
At least I'll post what I currently have as I'd have to go deep into my brain to remember all the other ones that I no longer have.
I'd have to go 100+ pages back in my journal to figure those out.

 

[ewk]

Glad to have a chance to update. I keep an inventory spreadsheet in case my family needs to liquidate if I cannot. I forgot to include the classic FOCS! And the version 2 Henson Al13 ++ is on the way. Most of my acquisitions are from BST or significant retail holiday sales.

The more expensive models like the Tataras and the Rex Ambassador are excellent razors, but I felt unsettled keeping such expensive items in the inventory with so little use in a large rotation. I believe, like musical instruments, they are tools that should be used.

If I had to dramatically reduce the inventory, I would keep the Blackland razors, Yates 921-M&H, and my birth year Gillette Slim.

Currently in the den, most have been used within the last 12 months. I really haven't been using the Maggards lately (that was kind of a jumping off point for higher end stuff for me). I really need to PIF or sell a few.
