That photo made my wife tear up. If she only knew the evil lying there....
Thank you Dean and Matt for the kind words.
I bought the Arbolito new a couple of years ago. Böker razors are always good, but adding the extra money for this high end razor was worth it. It is excellent. The same goes for the new Dovo Bergischer Löwe; expensive but definitely a step up in quality.The answer to your question Matt is embarrassing; I honestly don't know, but a rough estimation is that my rotation is about 100 - 110 razors give or take a few. My historical collection, that I rarely shave with, contains about 50 razors and then then there's a bunch of razors, let's say 30, that awaits restoration, honing or new original scales when I find them. So all in all not quite 200.
Nah well fed polar bears are cuddly and quite charming creatures.

Polar bears likes candy. Nothing beats a chocolate dipped seal. I only have one Bengall, very much like yours, it's very nice indeed. I might just see if I can find another one.
Hey, I’m just a Schnauzer - hors doeuvres to you.

I was thinking you had somewhere around that number, but I guessed you had closer to 150 in your rotation. I’m sure you still have more razors which I’ve never seen, even after following your posts for years.
My self, my modest den contains about 30-40 in my rotation and an abysmal 30-40 in my restoration/cleanup/honing pile.... I currently have no historical pile, but one day I might.
One day, you should take us all for a tour of your historical collection!

This is my only one but has proven to be my finest shaver. It was NOS - likely made in the 1960s. Hmmm, seal fondue - interesting.
Wow - strawberries and cream - beautiful!Butcher Bros.

Time to start using those that are not as pretty, most of what I've seen posted from you are in "like new" shape, let's see the other side of that collection.

Brian Brown's scales are among the most perfectly proportioned I've seen. He hasn't responded to a couple of my enquiries recently, hope he's ok!
I don't eat dogs, not even charming ones, it's too much cholesterol.
I can send you a couple of photos of my straight razor room.
This doesn't sound entirely modest, but there is no other side. All of my razors show up here once in awhile.Time to start using those that are not as pretty, most of what I've seen posted from you are in "like new" shape, let's see the other side of that collection.

Today I went with my first straight razor I bought around 7 years ago: a 6/8 Dovo Best Quality quart hollow. Recently re-set the bevel and honed it on my norton progression finishing on a coticule, and then just for fun I ran it a few times over a rough cut thuringian(?) I bought recently. It was one of the smoothest shaves I have had yet.
Torrey 11/16. My second Torrey, both have taken excellent edges, too bad they're so hard to find in Europe.
Honed last night and used this morning. I’d be interested in knowing if this metal is harder than most vintage carbon.
Beautiful razors guys!! Im just running through my usual road razors.
