How many straights razor do you own?

[Luc]

Well, there's a thread in the safety razor section and I was curious for the straights... I think there was one a while ago but I can't find it...

I currently own 26 shave ready straight and my ultimate number is 24 straights to be fitted in my pouch.

I try to get a variety, all of them are vintage.

Some Sheffield, German, French, US, Spanish and Japanese steel...

How about you?

I have 13 shave ready str8s. Some German, one French and some for the U.S. I really need to try a Sheffield at some point in time.

41 honed and polished and about ~15 in the garage waiting for me to get to them for a buffing and/or rescale.

About 50 for me + maybe 75 I plan to eBay when I have time.

 

[superbleu]

I plead the 5th!!!

I actually have no idea.I have a table full to restore, just bought a lot on eBay that had 35 in it (for $86!!) of which there are probably only about 10 I'll keep to restore and eBay the rest.

I plead the 5th as well....

I'm finding that I prefer french straights over them all though. Hoping finishing up a restore on a vintage Hospital Le Grelot this evening to see the hype on these ones, but the 3 no name french ones I have are my best shavers.

I picked up 3 on Ebay . . . kept 2. . .very nice vintage blades

I bought 2 new.

Maybe one day I will find a 7 day set. Until then I think I'm done

 

[Legion]

I have about eight shave ready ones, all vintage, but I have an awful lot more that are in the "to do" pile. I'll get to them. One day.

 

[natchez]

A couple of dozen shave ready, three to hone. Mostly vintage, a few new ones.

150 give or take a few.

Probably about 40 of them have so far been classified as keepers.

[weenerdog3443]

[johnmrson]

Is that down from 300 John?
I have 14 One for each stone.

The total is pretty fluid. I keep trying to reduce the number I have but I seem to buy as many as I sell.

 

[professorchaos]

I have 80-100. Most are vintage.

I plead the 5th!!!

 

[Proinsias]

6, I think

2 shave ready, two not far off, two need a bit of work.
