Hey Jim Yes we are all hoarders in one way or another I am sure. My obsession is a little less space consuming Started back in 2001 when I went for a little trip to Tassie. Found a cut throat razor that I liked and started collecting. Stopped a few years ago as they don't like the Nth Qld humidity. Only have 12 at the moment. Shaved regularly with one I picked up locally for $5. That is until my skin started to loose it's elasticity....... damned age catches up with us all So now I have to use the plastic multi bladed things...... yuk Wonder how many blades we will end up with in another fifty years. Can see the ad for it now "New shmick razor with the 210 blade freedom to shave your face and chest at the same time" "Smick the best a man can get" Or is that schmuck? Cheers Atog ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Howdy Atog, It's a darn pity about that Humidity up your way, I still recall a Cut Throat my grand Pappy used, it had a handle made from a Stag Horn which he had shot in the back country of N.Z. I know what it feels like to grab a brand new( triple blade ) razor from the pack, Soap up the ole "Big Mileage face" and take a swipe, only to find that the blade is that poorly made, it grabs hold of the first whisker and by the time you come to a halt, You're in agony. Back to the electric shaver......... now these can be real fun when they get blunt
