3 brushes:1 DE at the moment but I'm trying out a synth as a replacement for my travel brush.
I have more DE's but they're not actually used.

Brush to razor ratio

but I can see I need a razor or two more to even things out 
I have 9 brushes and 6 razors, but I use the same razor every day.
In normal use it's 3 brushes and 1 razor.

It actually took me by surprise how many razors I've got - but they don't take up as much space, so it don't look like much compared to the brushes
The numbers are 143:136 - an ongoing dilemma, too much and not enough
About 1:1 these days. I have been finding good homes for the razors and buying more brushes. At one time I had about 3 razors for each brush.
I have 2 active brushes and a razor heavy 1:10 ratio.
Interesting. I figured the brush count would be much higher as that is the most interesting part of the shave.
30 brushes : 3 DEs/Straights

I am also razor heavy, 1 brush to 6 razors...thinking I need to pick up a couple of brushes!
I have 11 brushes(at least I think that is correct). That makes my brush to razor ratio to approximately 1:11. It may be as high as 1:13, I haven't done an inventory in a while.

Total enabler!
Semogue SOC, IB, and BC Texugo, Omega Pro, WW Raptor, WW L7, TGN Finest F2, TGN Finest. = 8 Brushes.
RR SLAB, Stealth Slant, Baby Smooth. = 3 Razors.
8:3 = 2.67

If you don't count the trial brush from the AoS kit I'm at a 1:1 (3 brushes, 3 razors.)
13:2

16 : 31
14 or 15 brushes, to 140 or 150 razors. I guess that equates to 1 brush for every 10 razors. Or so.
12 brushes ... at least three dozen DE/SE razors. (Does not include throat cutters.)
Hmm . . . I have 7 synthetic brushes and 3 badgers for a total of 10, but these days I only use the synthetics.
I have 89 single edge razors and 26 DE's, but I only use the SE's.
So, with the razors and brushes I actually use, the ratio is around 12.7 razors per brush.
This is, of course, the brush forum. I wonder what the numbers would be if this question were posed on the SE or DE forum.

As of today, I'm at three razors to five brushes. Brushes: two badger, two boar and a synthetic. Razors: EJ89, 52 SS and newly-acquired 76 Black Beauty.
