By 'specializing' to will find you become more passionate about your collection.
For one I control RAD by
1) being married
2) 'specializing' in the following
-GR & WR era Sheffield and earlier
-unusual grinds in Sheffield blades
-uncommon/Rare/ early W&B
-Tillotsons and early pre-Shefworks greaves
----- all above with the disclaimer that whatever I buy MUST be restorable to 8/10 condition or better. If its not a 8/10 or better its not in my collection. Period.
There are too many beautiful razors out there to collect stuff in sub par condition, IMO of course.
