I haven't even seen the restoration DVD and I'm already aquiring goodies to rebuild... Oh boy!
I just got...

-Clark & Hall

And should see a "CLARK BROS" razor with a worked spine any day.
Anyone else also suffering RAD so early in the hobby? :w
Oh, yeah....Big time.
I actually think RAD's the norm for newbies. Once you get a nice big number of razors then you *may* begin to lay off. Enjoy the ride.
Btw, I do not encourage RAD, SBAD, etc. at all and wish I had more discipline myself. I am pretty good w/ brushes, but the razors...
Cheers
Ivo
so many razors so little time.
i have one shave ready from josh that is great, one ebay razor and 3 wapienicas. i have honed the ebay one and one of the waps but they still arent quite as comfortable as they should be. so i have decided that before i get any more razors i have to get a coticule and learn how to hone them so i can get nice comfortable shaves. once that happens i am sure i will surrender to my rad. i have a short must have list already going...
cheers,
ryan
RAD . . . who, me? :w
yeah, but while you are saving for a Coticule and improving your skills all the good razors are snapped by the ebay jedi :D

so hard-must resist,
ryan
:D
*jedi hand wave*
There is no reason to resist the Bengall. Type in your PayPal information here.
:D

RAD works very well with Newbies, me I got not problems with that whatsoever. Just check my title:p
josh!
i really dont think that is fair, double teaming on a newbie. you guys should know how fragile we can be. shame on you!
:nono:
i just glad there isnt a pretty pic of the bengall on your ad!
I know--I'm not sure what's up with the photos. :) Check back and there'll be a real purdy picture later today...
Josh
He he, I think Ryan's going to break...
Josh
He broke! :D My Bengall has a new home...
Josh
Man, you guys are fierce! Let the man breathe a bit. But, what am I talking about, I'm waiting on one from Josh myself...
:p
ohvay!
i thought i had it under control but alas...
gunna start tomorrow:rolleyes:
so i guess in answer to a newbie with rad--got it. i am with ya.
cheers
I keep telling myself 'this is the last razor'. Then I find The One I Can't Live Without. Again. Then it's The Other One I Can't Live Without.
I went through this with creams a month or so ago. It's embarrassing having to hide this stuff from the Mrs. Since we're moving soon, I've got to actually pack these things so I can retrieve them and stow them away without her knowledge.
I have laid down the law with myself. I am only allowed to have a 7 day set of functioning razors. :( Thats why I keep having to sell them off as I aquire more. :( Its so sad to part with wonderful friends. Ah well at lest this way I get to see alot of the razor world. :D
ofcourse I said nothing about the project razors that I am slowly accumulating. :shrug:
I am also getting C/SAD...:)
i am so glad that for now i dont have other ads. i am fine with my tube of cheapie omega sc (great stuff) and a good savile row brush (great brush) and jason 6 in 1 af. i would be in deep trouble if the other bugs bit me also.
cheers,
ryan
Ryan,
Sooner or later the others catch up with you. We are just not that fast. One of the only ADs that hasn't taken hold is BAD. I love the 2 brushes that I have (well, 3 if you count a free replacement) - and I am waiting for my next birthday to ask for another; probably a Shavemac, or Kent, or Simpsons, or...
I had the same 3 razors for 2 years and became very efficient at honing them...now after joining SRP a few months ago I'm up to 12 :cool:. I find it fun learning how to hone blades of different sizes, conditions, shapes. It's a constant learning curve at any skill level and that's the fun of it for me. Well that and the actual shave!
Ryan,
Get yourself a tube of Trumpers shaving cream. I was a Proraso junkie, but this Trumpers will blow your mind. :D
Josh
P.S. For the record, here's the pic of Ryan's new Bengall that I never had time to post in the FS forum...

I'm wanting to try heavier blades. My DD Dwarf is lighter than the Gold Bug and I find the goldbug more to my likeing weight wise. The Dwarf is smoother but it is so light...
i am looking forward to trying out a heavier grind and i really like the looks of the babers notch.
no more--no more! must have self control. lol
cheers,

I think the old habit of buying razor cartridges is a little too ingrained ... I still find myself compelled to buy razors on a semi-regular basis ... oh sure it subsides for a while, but then it strikes again. At the moment, I'm awaiting a TI and Henckels NOS in the mail, and 3 e-Bay specials. I have bids in on a few others. Plus I PM'd a member here to buy a couple off him.
Hopefully this will hold me for a month or so. :w
These three where waiting for me after work today :D as well as Bill's restoration DVD :D :D :D Hopefully the one with a worked spine finds me, it's way overdue and I hate that... frigging USPS.....

Looks like I got my wedge razor now :D The "Bell" has rotten scales but at the price I got all 3 for, I'm not arguing. The "Clark and Hall" is a quarter ground and OLD style, I'm thinking early 1800 at least, it's that funny slab of sharpened steel look.
Pic's up tomorow I'm fried tonight...
