That is a lot more than I thought, I think my New Years resolution will be to thin out the herd, I have lately been enjoying very aggressive razors, so some of the milder ones will go next year. Probably.
 
I’ve used a generic 3 piece and a Gillette Slim. I have a Super Speed Flair on the way, so pencil me in for 3 razors.

  2. Wilkinson Sword Classic
  3. Mühle R89

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...

I wrote that in November. Now that my last shave of the year is done, I need to update this. I ended up using 15 different razors during the course of 2017.
 
I'll be able to tell you december 31.
34 straights, 3 SE's (all diagonals), 24 diagonal DE's, 29 torqued DE's, 7 straight DE's.
(diagonal means nontorqued slant as the Alpha Ecliptic or the iKon 102. torqued means slanted like the Merkur 37.)
 
I used two razors in 2017.

About 95% of 2017 was the ATT with either Kronos or the Atlas handle. The vast majority of the year was Kronos w/H1 plate. At times the Atlas w/H2 plate saw some use, but by far it was Kronos H1 for daily blissful shaves.

The other 5% was my ‘53 Gillette President.

2018 will be the Kronos H1 as I sold the H2 plate to a brother member here back in early October. I do still have the Atlas handle and may swap that now and then. The ‘53 President will see use here and there as it’s a true classic.
