I have several razors accumulated over the years.

These will stay:

Lupo Aluminum
Rockwell 6s
Blackbird SS
BBS-1

 

[FoolishMortal]

At this point, my keepers are:

• Rockwell 6S
• Fatip Lo Storto
• Gillette Slim
• Gillette Tech (first razor ever purchased)
• Gillette Single Ring (purely for the history)

While I enjoy owning the other razors that I have, if push came to shove, I could let them go without much of a care. There are other razors that have come and gone, and I don't give them a second thought, which is a good sign that I didn't need to keep them.

FOCS piccolo
FOCS spare

 

[SharpieB]

I have a dozen or so razors and my main razors for the foreseeable future will be:

Razorock Game Changer with SB and OC .68 plates
Rockwell R6 with plate 6
Carve with plate C/D
Like Grandpa with plate D (OC)
1956 Red Tip

4 months later and not much has changed for me except the addition of a SE and a deletion of a Karve as the Like Grandpa is a Karve, and I don’t need 2. Will sell the Karve soon along with a few plates soon.

Razorock Game Changer with SB and Jaws OC .68 and .84 plates
Rockwell R6 with plate 6
Like Grandpa/Karve with plate D (OC) and F (SB)
1956 Red Tip
Razorock Hawk 3 SE

Jury is still out on my new Wolfman. Great razor, but spendy. It will have to earn a spot in the rotation as it was 3-4x more expensive than my other razors.

 

[Calm_Shaver]

my keepers are: Rocnel Sailor 2021, Wolfman Wr2 1.25/1.45, Blackbird Ti, Diamondback 2020.

 

[Yuritau]

My keepers are the only ones I've kept: Gen 1 Tradere OC, Tradere SB, first run Weber DLC (with both the original handle and the bulldog handle).

The Weber doesn't even remotely compare to the Traderes, but I keep it for travel. If I lose a bag with my Weber in it.. bummer, but I'll live. If I lose a bag with a Tradere in it... imma cry, then consider my odds of going full Liam Neeson in Taken to try and track it down.

13 years and 80+ razors later, my keepers are:

- ATT Windsor H w/atlas handle
- Yates Precision H
- Rockwell 6S
- Karve Brass D
- Merkur Progress
- Fatip (grande OC, grande Gentile, picollo SE)

 

[HDSledge]

I would like to respond but am stuck trying to decide how many keepers should be on the list.

 

[garyg]

Huh, given the number of razors here first impulse is all .. but DE cuts it down by half or more, so I'd keep a Fatboy, a New Improved Bostonian, Cooncat Bob's Bull Mastiff, and a Wolfman WR2.

 

[Tirvine]

I have an Above the Tie Windsor with a regular plate in copper and in stainless and a mild copper plate. Since I shave every day, I believe I shall keep it. The mild copper plate is my regular selection, but the other two are just dandy, although having just bought a hundred Gillette Silvers Blues I doubt I'll vary the plate choice for a long time. That combination is pretty sweet.

 

[rodolfstein]

Tatara masamune

Karve Overlander in SS
