oy. That thread wasn't too long ago. Since then I've gone up to 161. Minus 1 outgoing plus 3 incoming... 163. Very nearly doubled.

Lol... Strong within him, the RAD is.... (YODAish quote).
Yeah, I remember you were at 87 or something, had sold me a '54 Super Speed. I shaved with it for the first time Tuseday (nice!), then "loaned" it to a friend of mine, who wanted to try a DE again after 30 years away.
I was at 15 when that post first ran, now somewhere between 80-90...
I have 3, and 4 on the way.

Passing 40 on Monday, and alas my beard doesn't grow fast enough.
I have giving it a though that maybe I should do as the professional bicycle riders and shave my legs as well
- but that would be stretching it, right?
I just went to an antique mall today and bought 8

Around 40, but always looking for more. 
I'm somewhere north of 40 after yesterday. I picked up a well loved red tip that needed a good cleaning and then I'll find a good home for this poor little orphan.....
I also picked up what I think is a single ring, but I've got to do some checking first.

I too have given more than just a passing thought to shaving elsewhere.
What has stopped me is the thought that shaving a leg wouldn't give me the information I need to judge a razor. The whole apples and oranges bit.
Awesome!
I'm waiting for the car to warm up right now, then I'm off to the antique shop to look around. They had a Wedge in there last week that I'm going to grab if it's still there!
Guess I might be talking to Ambrose soon about some work!!

I shave my legs and although it is enjoyable, it's quite different regarding prep and razor choice. I have a slow growing beard so it holds me over when I'm keen to shave! (and yes, I am a "pro" bicycle racer- I'm on my way to race cyclocross this afternoon!). For leg shaving I like the slim adjustable at 2 or 3 or a SS.
I'm currently gripped with RAD and trying a bunch of new razors, but I just got an incredible shave from a 90 year old Gillette Old Type; I like open combs and slants lately.
I've got about a dozen DE razors.
I have four:
2 fatboys
1 redtip SS
1 late-40's SS
I don't know why I have 2 fatboys, they both feel exactly the same. The redtip feels a lot like the fatboys but lacks the adjustment feature. The late 40's SS is a nice "gentle" shaver that I use when I feel like a less than aggressive shave is in order.

Unbelievable! Of course, I thought I'd just stop with my Futur, but now I've got an SS, a Slant and three more vintage razors inbound.But that's it.
I SWEAR!!!
My problem is not admitting to how many I have, it's finding them all and counting them! "Oh, wait, there's another box with a few more in it!"
