Thread: rad has gotten the best of me time to clean house

Like I said nothing fancy. Just an assortment of workhorse razors.

I say don't sell them. Down the road you will be sorry you did. Just fix them up and use them. You can never have too many razors.

Agreed! That need to clean up will pass. Even with a pile of new ones you'll realize in many respects the older ones are just as god if not better. Down the road (as in this winter), you'll be sorry if you get rid of them. Even the no-name razors are great to work on and use. How will you feel when you trash a new $140 Dovo? Resist the urge to eliminate razors!

I've found that cleaning house is hard for me to do.Over the weekend I hand the opertunity to trade for a flintlock pistol but it was an all or nothing kinda deal. Even though the pistol was nice I just could not seem to give them up.
