i have a lot of DE razors, including variations of a type but i haven't bought the same razor as back up. i don't think one razor is "the grail". there'll always be something to scrape your face with - is the experience with your fave that much better?
Guilty as charged.
This "logic" can be applied to older razors too.
When in doubt, buy both!I have two Techs with different handles. I am on the cusp of getting my second Futur. However, I am also considering a Progress. Decisions, decisions
It's when better and rarity/availability meet that is the dilemma.
This is just me but I have never seen the point of having somthing with a use and not using it, whatever it may be it was made to be used and I get enjoyment out of using something if it is in mint condition or very expensive but we are all different so you do what makes you happyI seem to have acquired a lot of Gillette Tech razors, several of which I haven't used. But as has already been said, there is no shortage of Techs.
I've got a slightly different problem - I have some nice things which I am loathe to use. I've got a birth-quarter Slim Adjustable, the only one for my birthday (M3) I've seen for sale and which is currently in NZ being restored, and I have mixed feelings about whether I will use that once it comes back, in case I drop it or something. I've got a mint condition Two Tix set with unused soap, brush and razor, and apart from feeding the leather to keep it supple I don't use it. It won't be mint if the paper is peeled off the soap, or if the brush is used. It looks a pretty manky brush anyway.
So my issue is: if I have nice things, I don't want to use them. That seems a bit silly, because I don't intend to be a collector and bought things with the intention of using them.
When in doubt, buy both!
