Too many blessings becoming a curse?

    So, I love my collection of DE razors. Fatboys, Slims, Super Adj, Super Speeds, Techs. I love each and every one of them! Heck, even my 2 Weishi razors are great!

    For the first time this morning I used an Injector (actually, 2 of them because they both came yesterday). Do I love them? Yes. Yes I do. Can't wait to shave again tomorrow.

    And what is in the closet, waiting to be wrapped and given to me as a birthday gift mid December? The Timeless Bronze!

    How can a person fall in LOVE with shaving? I wish I could shave 2 times a day! I want to use all of my razors all the time! I keep telling myself I am going to pick a daily driver and stay with it for a month or so. Maybe I will make it a while with my Bronze?

    So many razors to love, once a day is not enough!!!

    Why? No law says you have to. That's the beauty of it. It's YOUR shave. Enjoy it YOUR way! :)

    If i rotated through all of my razors consecutively some would not get used more then once a year and I shave every other day. Each is a joy to use, when their turn comes up.

    Lol if you got rid of the duplicates, you can enjoy more variety... just saying..

    RyX DoH!

    Same here. My technique has improved, and my lifestyle devolved. If I shaved less diligently I could use more razors!

    I'm pretty much down to two daily drivers myself and have been for quite a while. But I also still LOVE all the others, even the ones that don't give me the best shaves.:) I enjoy the feeling of the shave during and most important after the shave. I ALWAYS hated shaving when I used a cart(30+ years)! Shaving was required for my work and I always planned to grow a beard as soon as I retired. Well I'm retired 7 years(2010) and I shave as much now as I did before I retired, only difference is I ENJOY it so much more now.:happy088:

    I have over 70 razors on the shelf and I don't plan to rid myself of any of them. Do I use them all? Nope, but I enjoy looking/touching them on a regular basis. Might be a little weird but I don't care.

    Do you dream about razors now?

    That is also me, in a nutshell!

    It puts the razors in the basket, and steps away from the basket. :scared011:

    Those injectors sure are sweet! If I had to rank safety razors by my favorites, injectors would top the list. They give me my best shaves ever! Yet I cannot see myself selling off my SEs or DEs. Variety is the spice of life.

    I only own three razors, all vintage.
    Eveready British Pat. Model 1912
    A simple 78 Tech
    A Gem mmoc
    As you can see, my rotation is simple. I look at razors all the time on places like the bay but don't pull the trigger. My curse is all the related items to our blessing lol.

    Just wait till you try straight shaving. Then you’ll really have a dilemma:)
