How many straight razors do you own?

[Luc]

After reading the 'How many safety razors do you own?' thread (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=107643), I thought the same should go for straights...

I have 5 that are shave ready.

7 that need restoration
1 in the mail

4 on the 'to-buy' list!

I only have about 7 so far, only one of which is truly in shaving condition. I got sucked into the restoration things pretty hard. I'm hoping to have a couple of those finished soon so I can get a little bit of a rotation going. I have about two more I am seriously considering buying at the moment. Of course, there are about three or four on my "I wish I didn't work as a volunteer so I could buy one of these" list.

So far...only 2. Give me time though, I'm still new to straights. Although, I really don't want hordes of razors and would be surpised if I ever bought more than 5 (without BSTing some to make room). Famous last words, right?

0. I'm a DE man.

10.
5 maybe 6 shave ready, 2 or 3 need a little more honing, 1 needs a lot more care, and 1 needs scales and a hone job.

I would have to go count.
25-30 I think.
4 shave ready, another 10 that could be made shave ready in a few minutes.

7 for a weekly rotation

2. Both in use. I'd like to try a big wedge (7/8+) but I'm content.

7, all in circulation. 6 restored and all honed by me. Not going to buy anymore as I alternate 2 DEs in my circulation as well. Actually I've been thinking of letting go of 2 or more.

3 - see my sig below!

The Bengalls belonged to my great grandfather. One has crack that may or may not be restorable. The other needs to be honed better (when I make the time)

I'd like to one day have a go at making my own razors - but that's a fair way off since I haven't even made a knife blade yet.
However - having this plan keeps the RAD in check (for the time being!!)

All the best,
Michael.

about 20 I think

6, not including a Feather straight (anyone want it?). Two are with Max for rescaling, one (a nice Dorko 66) is on the way, that will make 7 in total. All are minty, shave ready and used in rotation.

The list:

Le Grelot 1/4 grind 6/8, ebony scales
Henckels Friodur, 7/8 worked spine
Palmera #14, black horn
Filarmonica #14 barbas duras
Filarmonica #13 Doble Temple
J. Breidohr Les+++Croix, 6/8
Dorko 66, 13/16

How many do I own or how many do I tell my wife about? Those are two very different numbers.

That's what my wish list looks like

As for me I'm currently shaving with #1: Le Grelot 1/4 grind 6/8, ebony scales

If you can have only one, the 1/4 grind Le Grelot is the one to have...

Crazy awesome sharpie smoothness...

+1

I have 9, with 2 customs on order.

At first I thought I would only get 2, you only need 2 right? Moved that up to 7 for a week set. There are just so many beautiful ones out there I still haven't tried.

So far, they are all shave ready.
