I started SR shaving last September and jumped in with both feet in January after being convinced I am not giving up the new joy of a really good shave.

Since January, I have upgraded my Strop to a beautiful 3" SRD Latigo and now have 13 razors and only 1 buyer's regret as my passion overtook common sense(but I will certainly keep the nice wb fbu 8/8 a long time and perhaps replace the scales more to my liking once I get over the pain of impulse purchasing).

It has been more than 25 years since I was addicted to collecting anything(at that time it was when the Baseball Card market exploded....sure wish I would have dumped those when they were worth something!).

It seems I spend more time cruising the bay & classifieds on different forums than I do any other online activity which has fully replaced my joy of playing Clash of Clans diligently(up to a full TH8 without paying real money to get it).

As someone who prides themselves on never being addicted to any drug I ever tried(except women), how does one bridle the monster known as RAD and be a gentle observer of the beauty our passion provides with so many different and interesting styles/sizes of razors without going broke?!?!?!?!

Pondering in Bavaria....good German beer in my hand.
