At the moment, I have 65 DE razors, both ancient and modern, and 8 or so extra handles. In my defence, I should point out that this is the modest result of about 48 years of accumulating them.

All of them get used from time to time, apart from the Ikon/Shavecraft Tech (X4?) and Merkur Futur, which are my current least favourite razors.

48 years shaving properly is quite impressive

the only razors I have and kept are SS and brass only ones.
SS versions:
- Rockwell 6s
- Supply Provision 3 plates
- Razorock Wunderbar
- Razorock SS Hawk (to be purchased)
- Rockwell Model T SS ( to be received in near future hopefully)

Brass:
- Fatip Grande Gold
- Fatip Gentile Black
- Pearl TTO SB
- Pearl TTO OC
- 7 or 8 Gem razors ( all the metal ones no plastic all different models)

I know people that they have 2000+ razors in their collection + in the high numbers of hundreds of brushes and soaps/creams/aftershaves. Real troopers lol

Used to have two dozens.
I have kept the Timeless scalloped .68, the Blackland polished, a Weber ph, the B&R adjustable, an iKon 101, ATT SE1 and will most certainly keep the TR-2 when it will arrive.

Thanks. There weren't too many other ways then. This is the first razor I had, which is an English Gillette Rocket given to me by my grandfather. The case is a bit motheaten, and nowadays I like a bit more aggression, but it still shaves as well as the first day I used it.

One of the nicer Rockets, the only one I regretted selling .............

I must admit I'm looking forward to working through them. The 3 Stickies should cover the purchase price.

Aye, that's what drew my eye, the Stickies. I'm down to one DE now and the thought of sifting and re-selling all that gear in the midst of a house move turned my stomach. Well done - a good score for the money, as you well know.

The seller was great, I collected them in person and he threw in a smashing vintage tin ammo style box. I'm getting a second opinion on the straights, but the DEs that are in good nick easily cover the purchase price. There's a nice old GBS razor in there which I'll shave with next week. A lot of junk, but there always is in mixed lots like this.
