So how many do you have?

I got 12 razors, One new Dovo Blackstar, a Riegel and an Emu that will be tested tomorrow and the rest are projects, only one strop but 3 hones, a big envelope of cigar ash and a new fondness for newspaper.

Not to mention the wad of various grit wet and dry paper, the cherry and white oak kitchen worktop sample blocks for new scales, rubbing compound, etc, etc.

I've only been going 6 weeks, this could get serious.

When the last penny has been spent can you sustain yourself on a diet of strop leather and lavender soap???

Welcome to the world of RAD (Razor Aquisition Disorder). Alot of folks also have Hone AD, Strop AD, Brush AD and on and on. Remember that we at SRP do have a 12 step program to help you, but it doesn't work.

I quit counting along time ago.......:D

Have fun,

Lynn

Well said Lynn....Problem is ,,, the program didn't work for me. Maybe I need the 13 step program:D

I've been at it since December- so far I have @5 in the drawer waiting to be cleaned, scaled, and finished. In the bathroom closet sitting in CD holders is 50+. Included are also a Tosuke and an Iwasaki. I have 6 great brushes and have given 3 C&E's away to familiy members I've turned onto soaps and Creams. I have another 20+ soaps and creams. My favorite soaps are from Honeybee Spa- if you haven't tried them you must. The best cream for me is Taylor Sandlewood although C&E sween almond is also awesome (although no longer available).
RAD, SAD & BAD

Headdoc

I do my 12 steps in the morning... from the bed to the computer to check on my bids :D

I think I reached razor 17 before I found my perfect razor. It's a Wade and butcher 7/8 with no hone wear(or it was reground) and nothing can even come close to beating it. that is how I justify buying more - you never know when you will find that perfect razor - judging by the fact that I got perfect once in thirty razors the statistics show that I will need to buy another 180 before I get a perfect 7 day set!
Gotta keep buying.......

Well said Nikki! Bardzo dobrze! ;)

I own (hone :roflmao) more than 30 str8 by now... but well... I am still searching for the nicest and smoothest feeling of the blade on my skin... Wade & Butcher is definitively a good start...:tu

I put some pictures in my profile...

If i stay 12 steps away from the computer then I might just regain some semblance of a normal life.

:eek:
