    I've been working on a formula for this. Here is what I have so far.

    N_t = Number of razors at time t

    t = time since joining SRP

    I = Disposable Income

    M = Years of Marriage

    V = How much you value your marriage

    S = Sneak index - how well you can hide purchases from your spouse. Related to M and V in a non-trivial way.

    The formula goes something like this ( it is still a work in progress):

    N_t = ceiling[ (S/M*V^2) * exp{k*I*t/V}]

    k is a constant, yet to be determined. I call it Jimbo's Constant, and I am pretty sure the man (or woman) who finally discovers its value will win a Nobel Prize.

    Ceiling[x] just means the smallest integer (whole number) not less than x.

    I just need 1 more then I'm done for good man. Like always though the sweet sweet siren song calls to me. Resistance is futile All in I've got less than $300 in razors but if you count scale material and equipment I'm well over $700 and only been in the game a year now life is GOOD!!

    One razor is all you need. The other ones are just for practice. I need a lot of practice.

    I only need three ..... per shave . I've actually thinned down my rotation (if you can call it that) . I have 3 , 6/8 ; 3 , 5/8 , and 4 , 9/16 . I used to have a few more , but I sold them off . I was getting tired of shaving with all the different razors . Most of them were 5/8 , and I prefer a 6/8 . Currently , I use 3 razors per shave , because I like to do each pass with a freshly stropped razor . So I strop all 3 before I shave , do the 1st pass with the 6/8 , the 2nd with the 5/8 , and I use a 9/16 for the upper , and lower lip , and final clean up . BTW ; I only shave 2-3 times a week , so it's not like it's taking up a lot of my time . If I had to shave everyday , I would use a 5/8 or 9/16 , and only do 1 pass .

    I think this sums it up best.

    In my situation, I started with one, then realized I should get into honing. I wanted a cheap practice razor for that, but I also figured I should have a second razor for when one is in the process of being honed and not quite finished. As well, I figured a backup for travel would be a good idea. So, my conniving mind has given me two usable (and nearly identical) razors and a cheap practice one. The rest of my RAD, HAD, SAD funds are being diverted to my mortgage and my retirement savings.

    Every one is shave ready and every shave is with a different razor. Keeping track of the rotation is a PITA though.
