How Many Razors do you own?

Greetings

For the first time ever I have had a count up of what I have and have surprised myself how the amount seems to have crept up on me!

I have 39 Single edge and 12 Double Edge razors.

I shave with all of them apart from one Valet Autostrop that will neither take a Feather SE blade or a modified GEM blade, only original Valet Blades and I am not keen enough (great pun) to use one of those!

Regards
Dick.
 
Well, apparently I don't have any disposables left so that has narrowed mine down to three cartridge handles.

I used and binned my last Fusion ProGlide cartridge last week.

So technically ... my answer is now three cartridge handles, but no way of using them.

Err 7 now got a gold Gillette NEW from eBay yesterday.
Think I may get an old next to compare, then a Merkur 11c/Hoffritz.

Wilkinson Sword Classic (it got me off the cartridge razors)
EJ DE89L
Gillette Super Adjustable (P-2 date code, my birth year though I am a P-1)
Gillette English Tech
7 o'clock NEW
Merkur 37C slant

So only the six.

I reckon the NEW and the 37C are\will be my most used, both seem to require one less pass than the others to get a really close shave.

i begining wet shaving. i have those,
Muhle R41, Merkur 37C Slant, Yuma (Turkish DE mild razor), Merkur futur, Merkur 1904 and Focus shavette.
 
DE shaving for around 3-4 years

I have a boots DE
Wilkinson's sword classic
Merkur 1904
Enzo shavette

Almost exclusively use the 1904 though sometimes use the shavette if I fancy a change.
 
Have been DE shaving for around 2.5 years.

I've got 5 razors in rotation:
DE87 - present from wife and easy to use
Merkur 34c - another present and offers a similar shave to the DE
Gillette Slim Adjustable - birth year/quarter
Gillette Superspeed - birth year/quarter
Gillette Tech slim alu - purchased on a wim

Mostly I use the DE and the Slim, with the Tech being my travel razor.
 
1 EJ DE89L
2 Gillette Fusion
3 King of Shaves Azor

Was considering getting a Muhle or Merkur buts still perfecting technique and trying different blades in the EJ so not much point!

Wilkinson Sword Classic
Two cheapo modern ones off fleabay

A few others I'll have forgotten

No SEs any more
