is it normal to get an addiction of buying razors online(ebay ect.)?
I have it bad and im sure alot of the guys here do too. youre definitely not alone.
Yes, its very common. I've just started and I have already fought the urge to acquire more.
Very common issue with many people here. It sometimes wanes with time, but not often :)
Ohhhhh yes it's common. Look out!
(If this is a sickness, I don't want a cure! :D )
Hi,
Resistance is futile :borg:
Have fun !
Best regards

Yep, its called RAD! Dont fight it, its your friend... :D
I think a lot of guys are addicted.
I'm not however: I could stop buying razors anytime I wanted to !
I just see no reason why I should stop.
Personally its the modicum of danger that has me hooked. The danger of not being able to afford to eat as a result of yet another razor winging its way to me!
Couldn't have said it better myself. All sorts of ADs lurk in the dark. At least you have recognized shaging with a straight razor doesn't save money! :beer1:Quote:

Men are hardwired that way...as Stubear said, don't fight it...it is your friend....think of it...guns, cars, tools, fly-rods, guitars, beer steins, coffee cups, humidors, all of the tools associated with smoking pipes and cigars...all to be hidden from female scrutiny and if caught, in part, sold or given away so that we may start acquiring all over again. A very healthy addiction!
You left out faster horses, younger women, older whiskey and more money. :)Quote:

Sold my horses years ago; have a good supply of good whiskeys but realize that the younger woman habit would result in me having to liquidate all other items just for operating cash...man's gotta know his limitations...
I got it worst with strops... I have a WALL of strops in my dorm... Razors.. steadily building...
Edit: As Jimbo said it, I have more leather than a dominatrix :p
I also have a thing for brushes and creams O.o
Is RAD normal ? Does a bear s**t in the woods ? Embrace it for what it is - you can never have too many razors !

Resistance to RAD is futile...:borg:
My name is Ray.
I bought my last razor 6 months ago. ;)
What I have found is that while time goes on you become pickier with knowledge of what sort of razor you are looking exactly for but then the ad's branch out fast and furiously into other realms, strops, hones, brushes, creams, aftershaves as well as of course razors you may have never considered at the beginning of it all - which makes me think when exactly am I going to pull the trigger on that kamisori. I've only been at it well, its coming into my fourth month and I have to say and echo, this is a sickness you cannot cure, it is indeed futile to resist and yes the only way to win is to let go and give in to it. :)
I'm addicted to a few thongs and razors is definitely one of them. I think the whole danger/sharpness might add to the coolness factor for some without them really knowing it. It's like playing with fire when you were a kid, you probably wouldn't bother if something couldn't go wrong.
i got into this brotherhood of gathering straights only 9 months ago, i only have 20 straight razors does this mean i have RAD???:confused:
If so, a mild case ...Quote:
