How many razors have you used in 2017?

[Saltchuck]

I keep a log of my shaves in a file on my laptop. I just went back over it and discovered that I have used 11 different DE razors in 2017:

Merkur 34C
Gillette Black Tip
Gillette Short Comb New
Gillette Ball-End Tech
Gillette 40s SuperSpeed
Rockwell 6S
E Jagger 87
Merkur 23C w/Weber Bulldog handle
Gillette Long Comb New
Gillette Flare Tip SuperSpeed
Gillette Old Type

How about you?

I don't keep track either but I've probably used at least 50 different razors this year. I used 31 different open combs in OCtober alone.

And I thought my RAD was bad! Being a nerd from way back I also keep a journal on my PC. It tells me I've used the following safety razors this year:

Mühle R89 CC
Maggard V3 CC
Maggard V3A CC
Yintal CC
West Coast Shaving OC
Giesen & Forsthoff OC

On order, still to arrive: Mühle R41, Schöne Italian OC

In combination with all of the above I have used a multitude of handles to experiment with different head/handle pairings. Doesn't increase the number of razors, but does provide more shaving experiences!

In addition to the above safety razors, I have used the following straights:

Ralf Aust 6/8 full hollow round point with schorkopf
JMG Steelworks 6/8 half hollow French point

 

[Gaetano]

Jagger DE89
Gillette NEW LC
Gillette NEW SC
Gillette Single Ring
Fatip Piccolo
Gillette Fat Boy
Gillette Super Speed

You guys are crazy.

How can you stand to shave with the same razor twice in the same year? Once I convinced my wife that doing so can cause tetanus, I bought just enough razors to stay safe, and I have never looked back.

 

[MaineYooper]

Here is the list
Super-Speeds x 2, donated one
Techs x 3, gifted one away
Slims x 2, gifted one away
Old Types x 2, sold one, donated one
Rockwell 6C, gifted away
NEW short comb
Fatboys x 2, sold one

So I used 13 razors, and am ending the year with 6!

 

[NesOne]

I've used 4:

1959 Gillette Fatboy E4 (whole month of February)
1969 Gillette Black Beauty Q1 short handle (as a travel razor while in Vegas last weekend)
1922 Gillette New Standard (for about 3 shaves just to try it out)
2015 ATT Atlas R1 (the rest of the time)

 

[tonich]

How about 2016? Or 2015?

 

[davent]

One since the end of 2014.

Merkur 34C all the time
54 Ball End Tech on my birthday

 

[troy]

I don't keep track, but it had to be at least 30 maybe even close to 50. Some would be different examples of the same razor though, maybe around 25 different models all vintage except one Fatip Piccolo. I probably used a few more last year than this one, next year will probably be a few less than this one.

50 or 60 different ones, it's always fun to switch 'em up.

 

[sm29]

Ordered by razor age:
1. NDC post war fat handle tech
2. 1957 c1 ball handle tech
3. 1957 c4 flair tip super speed (my birth year and quarter)

20-30. Six turns of the die, and it's time for a new blade and razor.

Probably around 40 or 50 I change blades and razors weekly.
