How Many!

Fourteen: 3 DE, 3 SE, 3 injector, 2 Feather AC, 2 cartridge, 1 straight. I'm fairly dispassionate about these things; if it doesn't deliver sufficient pleasure it gets released. A few of the below won't be here this time next year.

I think I am done.
 
I used to have over two dozen razors of sorts but since getting a Rockwell 6S, I have thinned the herd somewhat and plan to thin it a little more in the new year, curretly I have. Italics are the ones I will be thinning.

I am aiming for having one of each razor, one closed comb, open, slant, adjustable etc. Failing that I think I will try t keep things under 10

I have one injector but it's a bit battered and has never been used by me. I also have one straight but after slicing my cheek with my first use, I haven't been fussed on a second outing.

I don't envisage any more razors but I said that 4 years ago when I bought the Merkur 34C.
