Well, if ebay is your source, then stop looking there. If you can resist going to ebay, it will be easier to resist clicking on all the pretty razors calling out your name.
They are pretty, aren't they :hmmm: ... wait :gaah: :(:gthQuote:

The only cure I know of is to cut up your credit cards and close your ebay and paypal accounts. It only stings for a second, just like ripping off a bandaid :cry::p
just put all your money in your paypal account so you cant get to it from your cards
then hang around at ebay all the time, so you dont have time to go buy razors :D
Simply analyze what you're doing and change minor details!
Severe = S = Scientific
Razor = R = Random
Acquisition = A = Antique
Disorder = D = Development
Sounds much better, doesn't it? :D
mine said she was gonna cut me. i think she was joking.:jedi:Quote:

I cured my SRAD when I bought a used Sportster last week. There are so many nifty add-ons and accessories available for customizing you ride that I haven't thought about razors all weeK! :rock:
I have this system. When I see that a razor has arrived (via tracking, PM from classified seller, etc), I go home on my lunch break and pick up the package, open it, and hide the razor in my "shaving nook". 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.
The only cure is a radical razorectomy, which is the complete removal of all razors. As long as even one is present in your home, the disease will reoccur. I can help you with this; please send them all to me, and then put this madness behind you forever! :w
i like that one:rofl2:Quote:

If you are serious about ending your SRAD this will do it.
I will make you a package deal.
Then I can start over. :thinking:

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.:D
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
:gl:
I agree with that.Quote:

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. :wQuote:

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.Quote:

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!
