OK, OK, OK,

Gimme 3 Hail Razors and come back tomorrow!

So hard to do an Intervention on such short notice......

Have fun.

Looks like you have a "taste" for new razors. You could have at least twice as many if you bought vintage...what were you thinking?

true but at this point in the game i have no idea what to look for. better i spend $100 on a new razor vice $100 on several vintage ones and possibly end up with nothing worthwhile. there's always the future though....

Ahh, Carl, I don't remember that thread but it made me laugh out loud just now.

Gentle non-Carl readers (that is, gentle readers who are not Carl), you should also know that in his early posts here Carl was on a quest for a two-razor sheath, because he was certain he'd never have more than two razors. Or was it a three-razor sheath, because he was certain he'd never have more than three razors? I just remember that he was quite strenuously certain he'd be able to count his collection on a really careless woodworker's hand. That's when we knew he'd be a special addition to our community.

Carl, I think you deserve your own acronym: CMS. Yeah, it only saves one letter, but it's got the cool factor. "Does CMS shave XTG, or only WTG and maybe ATG? Does CMS's tap water play well with MWF?" See, doesn't that feel cool?

WWCMSD?

You're so funny Tim! Love your posts and good natured banter!

You self corrected, it was a three razor case; and they're buggers to find! Got two now plus one razor lives in its coffin. I've had a few more and traded them or given them away. BTW, I (CMS) would highly recommend the leather three razor case from Executive Shaving http://www.executive-shaving.co.uk/l...-stitching.php

CMS does indeed shave mainly WTG; a single pass is the norm, two passes for when the mood strikes and/or on the SBVSSS (Sunday Bedroom Vintage Shaving Stand Shave).

CMS is not as OASRS (Obsessive About Straight Razor Shaving) as CMS once was; OAB (Obsessive About Bouldering) has taken over. Previous Os (Obsessions) were: OAVC (Obsessive About Vintage Cufflinks), OAVFP (Obsessive About Vintage Fountain Pens), OAVMFC (Obsessive About Vintage Medium Format Cameras) and OA8MMFAFP (Obsessive About 8MM Films And Film Projectors).

I'm sure there'll be many more Os (Obsessions), I love my obsessions, they keep me ticking...

To be without obsessions! Oh, the mundanity! [picture Lord Byron passing the back of his limp hand across his wearied brow while drinking wine from a flagon and smoking opium, cigarettes and hashish...]
