    Exclamation Hi My Name Is Bassguy

    Hi My Name Is Bassguy
    (hi bassguy)
    and I'm addicted to straight razors.
    I like the way they look, I like the way they smell...
    All I ever really wanted was a irritation free shave.
    Now I can't stop looking for a few great shiny ones to own.

    Could be worse though, I could be hooked on the 3 H's:
    Hooch, Hoes, Heroin.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    yea, every time you think you have as much as you need and think you are leaving this addiction something happens and they just draw you back in.

    Luckily, I have two really good razors already, so even though I've tried a couple real pretty ones, they can't compare to my sporty Helje and medieval Fili. So far. I'm still going to try as many razors as I can get my paws on, and hopefully keep no more than 3. To think: three months ago I custom ordered a japanese razor from Murray Carter (of camping knife and machete shave video fame) and thought I'd try Western straights while I wait for my name to come up in the queue. By the time that happens, who knows where my collection will be. Thanks for the encouragement though. Where were you guys when I was quitting hand rolled cigarettes?!?

    Unfortunately there is no cure for those AD's.

    It's going to be an expensive ride!
