Thread: What's the cure for early onset SRAD?

You can buy all my razors and all the stuff to repair, restore the ones that need it. This will leave you broke but you will have 1000 + razors to enjoy keeping clean and working on.
If you are serious about ending your SRAD this will do it.
I will make you a package deal.

Then I can start over.

Seriously...

The best cure that I know of is to sit down and think of it as more of a collection. Decide what you are looking for and stick to that train of thought. That way you other halves are not out there threatening to '86 you or your collection.

Setting up that strategy helped me as well as getting rid of my Ebay Account.

BTW - A strategy of buying "sharp" or "pretty" razors is not an effective strategy.

I know everyone here had good intentions in giving you advice in curing RAD, but the reality of it is that the only way you can cure it is to keep sending whatever you buy to me. As I post photos of the loot you paid for in the forums and brag about my awesome stuff, your spirit will break and you'll return to your one or two standby razors and gradually fade away into SR ignomity having escaped the dreaded claws of RAD

I agree with that.

Treat it as a collection and sell the ones you don't use or really care for. I don't think it's worth trying to just stop buying them, but it is worth figuring out how you're going to manage your collection I think.

My better half has no idea how many razors I have, but I'll give you a hint, it's between 5 and 7.

P.S. I've only been straight shaving for 4 weeks.

That's not really a cure now, is it? Oh, and why not just get them shipped to work? That way you don't need to rush home at lunch.

Well... I wasn't looking for a cure so much as I was trying to sneak my acquisitions in behind her back. If she wasn't around I'd blow all money money on RAD, SSAD, and whatever other 'ADs are available for the degradation of my bank account.

And I can't get things delivered to me at work... federal government -- they get suspicious when 3rd party yellow envelopes containing metal get sent to the front desk.

Just send whatever keeps you from being broke to me. Money is the root of all acquisition disorders.

See? just transfer your real problem (money) to me. In fact, if anyone else here needs to, I'm sure we can work something out. I'm strong I can take it!

it's worked for me hundreds of times.

Along with this is being the first one home, to check the mail box. I leave all the other mail there so my 3 y/o son can get it, and I promptly discard of the package, mailing and return addresses in separate locations.

I like to place them carefully along the back of the shelf where my ammunition store is, the wife never goes there.

All I need to do now is clean/hone them, and I'll be golden.

....Wait, an email from the Bay just came in, I've been outbid !
