Current inventory
7 DE (3 adjustables, one straight bar, one slant, one open comb and one hybrid)
3 SE
1 Shavette
2 Straights (one with broken scales) not yet used
1 Shick Band (never used, and won't be unless the price of the carts come down)
Plus one MR3 handle and one spitfire cap.
I'm a year in, and I think toward the end of the year I might start paring things down. Right now I think I'll get rid of the SEs, my DE89, my Futur, and possibly my slant. I'm not too fond of the shaves I get from my NEW LC, but I can't bring myself to part with it. It's just so pretty...

My list.
DE's:
Wolfman WR1-DC.
Wolfman WR1-OC.
Wolfman WR1-SB.
Matador Mastiff.
Plus I have about 5-6 straights (cheap ones, nothing expensive) that I play with and two shavette's. One is an Universal Shavette from Italy that hold the full DE blade and the other is a new Parker SR1 stainless that I am in the process of selling cause I dont and wont ever use it.

My current "permanent" rotation is...
EJ89 - My first DE and is always the go-to razor if I need a quick shave and can't afford any irritation or cuts.
Ever-Ready 1912 - Has an aluminium handle that is not the original and has been permanently bonded to the head with some kind of adhesive. Works well though!
Valet AutoStrop - Just got into this as I didn't know Feather blades worked with it. Not the closest shave but a nice change of pace with a very unique feel.
Fatboy - Mine's a bit tired looking with faded paintwork and a few marks here and there but delivers a great shave. Even with the big head it just works for me.
1930's Gillette NEW - Faded plating and the obligatory hairline cracks up the handle but it only adds to the charm. There's something about this that although it's not the oldest razor I have it's the one that has the most "vintage" feel to it and I always let my mind wander and think where it's been before it got to me.
There's also a couple of no-name unknown European made DE's from Germany and France which I enjoy using and often wonder who's sink they've been on since leaving the factory.
There is also a constantly revolving supporting cast of other razors that I buy and sell and which occasionally permanently join, or dislodge a razor from, the permanent rotation.
