I recommend you mix it up, but stick with half to full hollow carbon steel for a while. There's nice vintage, beater vintage, GD and similar quality new razors, and new middle tier (Dovo Bismarck, for instance). When you have at least one of each category you should be able to articulate a preference. But just in case, keep going like that until you have at least a dozen of each category, just to be sure.
Haha....I'm not the collector type, so I think 3 razors *total* is probably where I'll end up. That doesn't mean I won't be open to upgrading in the future, but it'll definitely be a "new razor in, old razor out" kind of thing.
I do like the idea of a vintage razor (my DE is a Gillette NEW), and it doesn't have to be pretty. Seems like they can be had pretty easily in the $50-$70 range, which is probably as much as I'm comfortable spending on a razor.
