OK, these are the razors in my rotation at the moment, flying in formation.

(I also have another on the resto bench, and a Ebay blade on the way

)

Top to bottom:

W&B wedge 6/8, wenge scales
LeGrelot 1/4 grind 6/8, vintage horn scales with ivory inlay
Dovo Renaissance Stainless 6/8, bubinga scales
Otto Busch Worldmaster 13/16
Fernando Esser 5/8 cherry scales
Wusthof 5/8

I'm only seeing six beauties. You'd better run off and buy another to complete your set ;-)

I stated that I also have another in restoration mode, and I scored another on Ebay just last night...

That way the "formation" will still be balanced. I guess I'll have to buy razors two at a time so as to not "unbalance the symmetry!

Yea, I saw that bit, just trying to help a fellow shaver with excuses to buy more. But now you've gone and ruined it

Seriously though, a very nice collection. I'm starting to want one of those Le Grelot's, but they are a bit out of the price range at the moment.

Friggen fantastic!

It may be my best shaver. The gentle smile to the edge just seems to always give me a super close & comfy shave.

Such loveliness. Thanks for sharing.

See I had a plan......
7 razors one for each day of the week.....
Sounds reasonable, even the wife understood the logic
I didn't want a 7 day set I wanted 7 different razors...
Reasonable right
Well when the 8th razor went into the stable, you know the logic that was applied then RIGHT????
A 14 day rotation sounds reasonable right??? You know I actually convinced her of this logic....Oh and BTW any of you guys that post that lie about a razor needing to only rest for 24 hours yer off my Christmas list

We all "KNOW" that steel must rest at least a month

15 razors naturally tuned into 21, and then an easy jump to the 28 day set .....
I now am the proud owner of the 11 week set of 77 shave ready razors !!!!!
Don't even ask about the ones in the "I'll get to them sooner or later drawer"

So my friend I will be very impressed if you keep it to only 7 razors

You mean like the 1,500 that Bill Ellis has?

I never said I'd try and keep it at seven. That may happen to be close to where I am at this point, however I'm only about 8 months into this illness...
