Five is by far not enough, but a good starting point to figure out your preference for further buying.

1) A home razor that works for you
2) A travel razor that works for you

"Should own"... that feels a bit too much demanded. I mean, 5 razors are a lot of razors if you do not need them.
I think it is good for everybody to try the following 5 razors (and then sell/PIF what is not working)
- Gillette NEW
- Any slant
- Gillette Tech
- Mühle R41
- Any Merkur OC

Out of 13-14 razors I have owned I only saved 2 razors (R41 as my main razor, 95% of all shaves and 15C for 5% of all shaves).

So I do not even own 5 razors...
