It started as an itch, and when the scab formed and I picked it, it quickly turned into fully fledged RAD (repeated acquisition disorder)!

Yes after a bit of initial curiosity I decided to take the plunge and joined the open razor community and yes I'm a newbie and have the scars to prove it!!

I initially bought a shavette to stick my toe in the water which I think was a mistake in hindsight, but have now taken the plunge and have acquired both a relatively new Boker Edelweiss and vintage Rawson Brothers (which from the pictures looks not too bad but will need some work). I will probably enjoy trying to give it a new lease of life.

Lots to read here I'm sure and much more blood to spill before I'm fully proficient! I'm sure it will be fun though.
