Thread: Help I'm am totally addicted

Hi, my name is Phrank...and I'm a razorholic....it all began one scruffy morning....

Thank God this is normal I thought I had RAD for a bit there , with 13 straights & 1 DE at only 4 months into this life choice, at least I don't have any HAD issues also yet with only my Crown Barbers hone, a Lillicraps DE hone & my Norton4/8k still in the mail that I know will eventually need a friend from the 12k plus family .
I think being a "collector & restorer of antiques" is better than blowing wads of cash on some other vises I could have like smoking, gambling etc.
Whos else keeps a register of their collections??

I had a young man come to me with one razor, maybe 6 mos. ago, he had one razor that did not center,easy fix,he is an SRP member,honed the razor, all was well.He only owned one razor at the time.
he dropped by last week, he had two shoe boxes full of razors that he had bought since we last got together,maybe a hundred or more.
Some ebay stuff, garage sale stuff, antique store stuff,99% of this stuff was pure crap. He got addicted and bought every straight he could find.
he was into to this useless hoard maybe 2k or more, I think alot more.
I told him he had junk,sell what you can for what you can (he will lose his Azz) I said you may be able to buy 4/5 really nice blades from the proceeds,he was not a happy camper.
