How many safety razors in your regular rotation?

[DEgeezer]

Just one in my regular rotation. Rex Envoy.

Two. Merkur 34C and Merkur 37C. 34C for daily shaves and the 37C when I have 2 or more days growth

This is an interesting thread. Thanks for raising it from the dead.

I have sold off and gifted away most of my razors and only have a handful remaining.

Karve Chris Bradley with a B and C plate
Game changer with the .68 and .84 plate
Lupo with a .72 plate on the way
Schick L injector
Tom White “?” handmade razor

This is a far cry from when I had 70+ DEs, SEs, injectors and straight razors in my rotation.

Oops! I forgot all about my VDH razor that startme off on this journey a decade ago. It’s my travel razor.

For the past 7 years my rotation has been:

Monday: Wolfman WR1
Tuesday: Wolfman WR1
Wednesday: Wolfman WR1
Thursday: Wolfman WR1
Friday: Wolfman WR1
Saturday: Wolfman WR1
Sunday: Wolfman WR1

The Wolfman doesn't leave the house, so when I travel it's one of my other razors - usually an ATT.

One for regular rotation. A RazoRock Mamba 53.

If I want to mix it up, I will use a FB for a couple shaves then it's back to the Mamba.

It's been that way for a few years now. Before that, I would use a Tech or FB or Slim and stick with it for months. Swapping daily leads to bad shaves if you don't what your doing

I have about 15 razors in my shave equipment drawer. After years of rotating them, I now use one razor... GameChanger .068. oh, forgot ..... I have two of them so everyone in a while, I will rotate between the two.

These days I have my ‘daily driver’ (Wolfman WR1) and a ‘travel razor’ (Lord L6)! The rest moved on.

 

[ric164]

I have 4 razors:

• EJ 89L
• RR BBS Standard
• Merkur 34c
• RR GC-84P

I can’t locate the first two on my list since we moved in December of 2022. I’m hoping that they just are not unpacked and we will find them in a box one day.

The Merkur was my daily driver. I started with the Game Changer three days ago and if everything goes as it looks now, it will be my only razor that I use. I will probably retire the Merkur to a travel only spot.

Safety Razor rotation by guestimate percentage of use

• Muhle R89
• Feather ASD2
• Gillette Red Tip
• ATT Windsor Pro SB90
• Game Changer .84
• Muhle R41

I rotate among about a dozen straight razors...

 

[Lane101]

Three:

• Weishi Long Handle
• Razorock Adjust (rebranded Baili)
• King C. Gillette

 

[euro]

Fatip Open Comb V1. I have a couple other razors but the Fatip OC is a solid performer. IMHO it's the best razor I own.

 

[BobbyB]

For me just two:

My King C Gillette is the primary shaving razor
My Van der Hagen is my buffing and getting into areas the KCG doesn't due well in.

 

[MrSpeedy]

Just two: a birth year and quarter Gillette Black Handle SuperSpeed and a Schick Krona. I had been using the SuperSpeed for a long time but am back using the Krona.

I still have my very first DE razor - Maggard MR1 - but it just sits in the cabinet.

 

[coase]

Slim
Fatboy
Tech
ASD2

 

[ksblazer]

I have 7 razors in my rotation

Use them all about equally. When I notice the blades need to be replaced. I do that all at 1 time and repeat.

I also have a few others that are back up’s. Couple that are the same as in my rotation. Just in case I loose them or they break eventually.

 

[Sethology]

One. Why change perfection when you find it

 

[Lockback]

I have 15 razors. One - the Vikings Blade Emperor Meiji - is currently semi-retired on a shelf because it frustrated me one too many times.
The rest are in a regular rotation. I tend to go with a vintage Gillette, then a modern DE, then one of my three SE razors. It adds a variety to the morning shave that I really enjoy.

Oops! I forgot all about my VDH razor that startme off on this journey a decade ago. It’s my travel razor.

My VDH is my travel razor as well. Inexpensive, expendable but still pretty doggone good.

 

[Tinmantoo]

7 in rotation, one is an injector.

 

[eezee]

I have 9 in the rotation, but they are used on M-W-F. On the other days I use a straight razor. So it takes 3 weeks to get through the DE rotation.
