What razor or razors have you purchased to keep as spares?

[LRod]

-GreenCult 1.1 (I've since sold 1)

-Focus Tritok aluminum Concave

-Dovo Primo II (it's that good and it's cheap)

-Chiseled Face Legacy Titanium (bought the aluminum version as a spare)

-Henson aggressive +++ aluminum (Bought the titanium version which I guess can be called a spare) even though the titanium is now my primary!

-Razorine Flatboy, full brass version

I’m a sucker for a made in Morecambe England….

Souplex. I honestly don’t know why it is so good. Others may probably hate it but just seems to suit me perfectly. One of these is going to a new home very soon but I will always make sure I have a back up in reserve.
It’s my current joint favourite weapon in the never ending war on whiskers along with the Henson AL13+++. Light is right it seems for me.

I have a huge number of spares of a huge number of models.
Also many spare heads (mostly ZAMAK).

Bought a second twig recently. It's less a spare and more an addition because I decided to get the mercury instead of the prizm the first time, so when the prizm came back in stock I decided to get it also.

Hi,

I have a spare Fasan DoubleSlant. They are made of bakelite and, sometimes, Zamak and so might just plain bust. So far, since 2013, no. But, Ihave a backup anyway.

The way it worked was I bought this one in 2013:

Fasan Double Slant

• KQY61
• Jan 13, 2014

Plastic top cap version with original handle and box.

And, then I changed the handle out:

Fasan w/ Gold Fat Tech Handle

• KQY61
• Jan 13, 2014

Showing the degree of helix in a DoubleSlant. also, it looks better with the gold Fat Tech handle.

Then in January of 2014, I bought another one with a nickel plated Zamak top cap. And, then I changed the handle out on that one:

Fasan Metal Top Cap

• KQY61
• Aug 27, 2015

With shot loaded Bar handle to balance the metal top cap

So, the original one is back in its box and I have shaved with the metal top cap one just about every day since.

I have some other razors around. Some family heirlooms, some just ones I wanted to try out

Open Combs

• KQY61
• Jan 19, 2017

Old Type
New Improved
NEW Short Comb
NEW Long Comb
Schick Type C1 Repeater
'34 'Crat
Fasan Red...

These are the Open Combs and they will get used next month. The Schick injector I use as a ground travel razor.

But you were asking about spare razors, and that is just the Fasan. I also have two Techs, one Pre War and one Post War and a SuperSpeed that were my father's. And, I suppose any of these could be considered spares. But I am thinking about razors bought to be the same thing that one is using, as a backup.

I don't have a single spare of the ones I own, because aside from my recently acquired Merkur Futur, I'm pretty sure the rest of my razors will outlive me and their next owners.

Having previously said I don't have any spares what I did do was to purchase a 2nd Shave It Co. "Shadow" razor which I really like, to replace my Merkur travel razor head. I still use the two piece Merkur handle with the Shadow head and now I get excellent shaves while on the road. The original Merkur head was ok but the Shadow is excellent.
