Likewise 10 is too many. I only own 4 which to be honest is 2 too many

in order of preference:

1. Merkur 38C barber pole
2. Edwin Jagger DE89
3. Feather Portable
4. Gillette Tech

As a newbie I have to know, no I need to know - which are the 2 too many.

My list, in order of preference

Futur
Merkur 34G HD
Vision
Feather Portable
Gillette Slim
Gillette Superspeed Flare Tip (1960) [my birth razor]
Gillette Tech (aluminium)
Wilkinson Sword

If I'm in a hurry the Merkur 34G HD and the the feather Portable seem to give me the best combination of quick and close. At the minute I'm sticking almost exclusively to Feather blades

OK for me the usual choice is between

Rocket FT
Gillette NEW
Schick E
EverReady 1912

10 would confuse me...
