+1 Totally agree...For me it's a combination of enjoying collecting different razors and enjoying the variation of different razors. Each one shaves in a slightly different way and I enjoy them all for different reasons. There's something quite satisfying about shaving with a razor that's 50-100 years old!
I rotate all my stuff, razors and brushes every week, soaps every day.
I'm trying to be more selective in what I buy in future. At the moment I have a Feather AS-D2 a Feather AC SS and a vintage Velvet DE razor. I will shortly put the Velvet up for sale as I just don't use it enough. One DE and the Artist Club gives me all I want from a shave.
I've read of some people expressing guilt over the size of their collections. It's easy to feel guilty about the size of a collection. If you've built your collection, you're not in debt having assembled it and you enjoy it (regardless of size), you (we) shouldn't feel guilty. The issue comes if the thrill of acquisitions is covering an underlying problem and the spending becomes uncontrollable.
That's my deep Monday morning input. Now if you'll please excuse me, I must go and deliver excellence for my employer!
Hear hear!I'm in agreement one should not have any guilt for having a collection of razors or high value shaving items be it a brush/razor etc. If one can afford the items in question and it gives you pleasure to assemble/use the such a collection then that's all that matters.
Then again if you get a lot of pleasure from a one razor/brush/soap/blades then great for you.
It's all about finding what suits your needs the most and always delivering excellence for your employer on a Monday morning....
That's a bit like saying why buy a wine at £10 when a £3 wine will still get you drunk.I shave with all of mine in a rotation that will take more than a year to get through. They all shave perfectly and I could use any one of them as my "only" razor, but I'm a vintage guy, and I appreciate the different years, styles, weights, looks, and feel of the different ones. I would keep them even if I didn't use them.
It doesn't matter what razor you use, or what the price tag said, they all shave unless they're broken. I do believe it's a bit foolish to spend heavily for a shaver, when 20 bucks will get you a great razor.
