Nice collections gents.

Will eventually use a NEW SC and an OLD (and clone from Germany), but that won't be this year. I'll stick with the razors I'm using until the blades are gone, and I don't expect to change one until time for the One Blade in Feburary challenge.
 
Gillette Fatboy
Gillette Super Speed
Gillette Super Speed Red Tip
Gillette Super Speed Black Handle
Gillette Super Adjustable 109
Merkur Futur
Merkur 39C Slant

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

Now I am up to 14 used, with 7 still in the house. I found a Fatip Testina Gentile in the BST and it arrived yesterday. After one shave, I am looking at my tools and wondering if any are looking for a new home!
