I've gone a bit overboard

[jcsixx]

I now have seven razors...my wife may kill me. I bought:

dovo invisible edge
j.r torrey
2 bokers (one is a red injun...not sure what the other is...)
j.a. henkels
dubl duck
rogers cutlery

my plan was to get a few different of the highly recommended types to find which one works for me OR to have a seven day rotation. I think I'll add a filarmonica and a wade & butcher at some point.

Does anyone know anything about the Rogers cutlery co? It was my first "shave ready" razor, but it's an 11/16 blade spike point. That's a bit to big for me to use at this point.

No, you're wife may not kill you; your IS going to kill you! Think positive I always say! But, at least you'll die with a big silly grin on your face.

I can see another RAD junkie in the making!

I don't know anything about the company, but perhaps you could be more specific for those who do: do you want to know about the company, or do you want to know more about your razor (a pic might be nice for the later)?

Join the way to many razor club.....ENJOY.......Just buy her a new purse!!! or start looking at new Corvettes and Porsches. She'll be fine.

You still have so much father to go!!! Granted I have a few months on you but I have 22 razors, three strops, four brushes, and countless soaps, creams, and aftershaves. Just embrace the madness and bring her home some flowers, take her out to a nice dinner and buy her a new purse/shoes.

Prostrate yourself with your credit card in hand to give her. I wouldn't use the "it'll save money in the long run..." argument. You've already lost that one!!

Funny how these ADs seem to be caught like viruses. The sad (no pun intended) part is there is no known cure...

Joseph Rodgers is the "Royal Cutler" -- knife-maker to the British royal family.

I have one of their razors (blade proudly etched "Royal Razor") -- it works fine.

HOWEVER:

I have been browsing here, and "Rogers Cutlery" has _nothing to do with_ "Joseph Rodgers". You might want to search the Forums and Reviews.

Just tell her you have RAD right now,and if it gets worse ( it will ) you will enroll in Lynn's 12 step program.

Just play the "it'll save money in the long run" card. And better yet, convince her to use them as well. No better shave in the world than with a straight.

That is a fine selection....

Pick one or two that feels right and get 'em honed by a pro.

You mentioned "honing" and it sounded as if you want to hone
these yourself. You can do the math and decide if you
want a set of hones or a single finisher. A professional will
run your razor over $500 to $2000 worth of hones and return
a shave ready razor to you. In my opinion this can be a bargain
especially when you factor in the experience factor...

Maintaining a shave ready blade is almost easy and can be
done with a good canvas+leather strop and a finishing hone
(or sending it back out).

My workhorse hone has been the Norton 4K/8K combo.
Many folk like the finish from the 8K side. I like to
take it half a notch further with a Naniwa Super Stone 12000
hone. In my opinion the 12K Naniwa Super Stone is the
only hone needed to maintain professionally honed razors
for years on end.

I have a Norton 4/8k and follow it with a 12K Naniwa Super Stone.
If I was buying new today I would consider getting all Naniwa Super Stones
because the systematic progression from a single vendor is often smoother
and more reliable.

So if the family budget needs attention sending a selection of
razors out one or two at a time for professional care is a grand plan.

With two well honed blades in hand you can shave well for months
and ponder the next step.

Easy peasy get out!

Ask her how many handbags, or pairs of shoes she has, and what they cost!
More than all your razors I'll bet!

p.s. I still hide mine in the sock drawer
(razors that is - not handbags).
