Man I sure hate to do it but the time has come to thin my den. I feel sort of like I did when I was sending my kids off to college. Has to be done though. I could easily become a razor hoarder if I allowed myself. Really tough picking who goes and who stays. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Less is more? You already know which ones you just plain don't like. Divest yourself of useless or seldom used encumbrances. Then you'll have more room for new stuff!
What's wrong with being a razor hoarder, rescuer or rather a razor collector/connoisseur? I can't get a good shave from a straight to save my life, but I have at least 20 of them! Their so pretty.
I have a few I need to dump also. I have been shaving with them before I let them go and they do shave well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've been here. Last year I decided I needed to stop "coveting" and start "collecting". Went from ~60 straights in a shaving rotation down to 10-14 at any given time. Kept only the very best, representative razors and out the door with the rest. Not an easy thing to do, but I can say that I absolutely appreciate my dozen or so straights much more pound for pound than I did the larger sampling. One day at a time my friend.
I am currently in the process of thinning the herd; deciding which SRs to keep and which to unload. Not an easy chore but it is a sure indication that I have far too many to work into a regular rotation
Where are you folks selling all your straights? I've been looking for a couple but don't want to just buy one off ebay because you never know what your getting. Would rather deal with the folks on our forum.
Keep an eye on the classies. Another tactic that frequently bears fruit is to simply contact the owner of a straight that's caught your fancy. Even if that particular straight is not on the market, the owner may well know how to help you find another.
That's probably because the Straight Razor Place forum is where most straight razors get sold. Glen @gssixgun usually has some for sale here in the vendor section at any given time. Might want to hit him up.
That's funny, I keep flip flopping between the 2 sites and there is slim pickins that caught my eye right now. Something will come up soon. I actually am looking to compare my Dovo Estrale shave with whatever straight I get from either Glen or Lyn.
