DE Confessionals

[Flannelmeister]

Blimey! Makes me feel the rank beginner I am!

Just 3 at the moment:

Mid 1950s English Flare Tip Rocket
A 1930s Ever Ready 1912 Pat. SE
1960 (F2) Fatboy.

I have got a Parker 98R on the way and this oddity from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160542438811&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Looks like a Gillette ball end handle on a newer head - it says there are no markings on it, will see when it arrives.

Oh, 5 straights too but only 2 of them honed for shaving at the moment.

 

[Slivovitz]

About 50 DE razors. More that 30 SE, more than 30 injectors. A handful of cartridge handles, and some lonely stray disposables.

I've given away six razors, and have put aside nine that I might sell. Other than that, I'm keeping them all.

The possibility of a straight is on the back burner.

 

[Dirk1967]

Only 1 a merkur 34c i started DE shaving only a few weeks ago.

 

[Batman]

35-40 at last count. Time to trim em down.

 

[missingskin]

About 15 that are in use (mainly Super Speeds/Rockets) and a couple that are just left in the cases a British 21 Aristocrat and a President (vgc, cardboard shipper ect) both of which are going to have to go as they are not used.

 

[slpknt10l03]

Straights = 13
DE = 10
SE = 6

total = 29

somehow that makes me want to buy more....

[Blooze]

I've been wet shaving since last May.

So far I have:

18 DE
9 SE
9 Straights

 

[Snappy Lunch]

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

+1 and I keep my razors in the safe with the firearms. Well, except for the 1912 Ever-Ready that I use everyday.
