did you buy 2 of the same razor cuz you like it alot

Didn't buy the same razor, but I started with safety bar DE's and liked them so much I got the open comb model of each.

I only use 2 DE's both Merkur's, the HD and the 1904. The 1904 is my go to, so much that the HD's only get used a couple times a year.

No I didn't buy two. I think I bought 7 or 8 Lord LP1822's; I used two in a trade, gave one away to my dad as a back-up for his Merkur 33G, stashed one for when my son is coming to his shaving age, am using one for close to 3 years and have the rest as a back-up for myself.....

When I come across the vintage Gladweg razor I already have for a reasonable price I would double that one too btw.

de87, de89,de89L, and R89

It is never a bad idea to have a backup.

Thanks,
Mike

I do, but generally one nicer one for display/collection and one for use.

Yes, I have a few doubles...

That.

If I have two it's because one is too nice to use.

If I have three or more, it's because I love the shave a razor gives me and having a spare or two is necessary. What if I take a favorite razor on vacation and lose it? What if I explain how awesome a shave a particular razor gives and someone says, "prove it" I gotta lend it out on the spot...

The most duplicates I have are 40's style super speeds. Great shavers and excellent value. I a;ways pick them up whenever I see one for $10 or so delivered. Can't go wrong with a super speed.

I do wish I had a spare Futur.....

I've got two replated short comb new's from bobs razor works. Mainly because it's my favorite razor and they aren't exactly current production.

Heck yeah.

If you find a razor that gives you a great shave, feels like it's been custom made for you, why wouldn't you buy a couple?

I might have a few doubles or even some triples as backups, but if I really like a razor then there could be quads or more.
The more redundancy built into an emergency backup system, the greater chance of success.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to survive a train derailment, an earthquake, followed by a forest fire, then a hurricane and then a meteorite and not have a proper shave.

Multiple MMOCs, multiple Old Types, and, before long, multiple 2011 R41s.

Have three techs. An old 'D' slot one, an English straight slot and an aluminium handled one. All good, but I prefere the 'D' slot, a little more aggressive.

ive got at least 7 super speeds flair tips and 40's model,and too many others to list here.why not its fun to collect/use them and they dont take up as much room as my chess set's

Yes

2 Techs
2 Fat Boys
2 Super Adjustables
4 Super Speeds

Yes!
I have 3 Gillette ball-end tech razors: a nickel plated one, a brass plated(gold?), and a british made aluminum one ( very light razor ). Just a great workhorse of a razor that is cheap to buy, and easy to use.

Yes. I have two Futurs, one satin, one chrome that I alternate - the extra one is a backup.

3 Slims
2 SA
2 SS (one flair, one 40s)
1 tech, 1 travel tech
1 NEW

yes 2 rockets a few different british techs

I got two because I rotate between two shave dens and I can leave both dens stocked. I don't rotate, I like the same razor every day. I have the Edwin Jagger DE89, one is an octagonal faux horn the other is the Barley Chrome.
