    Default I've caught the bug

    It seems that ever since I started wet shaving just a couple weeks ago all I do is search the interwebs for razors, brushes, and new creams and soaps. I was recently blessed enough to score one of the unstamped Dovos here on the forum, I can't wait for that one. I also recently ordered A Boker Red Injun 101RP. I then ordered some soap made by a friend of mine and his wife. He calls it Cedar Loghouse Shaving Soap, and I can't wait to try that out. Now I noticed all my razors have black scales and am looking to get some custom scales. Who would have thought that shaving could be addictive?

    I hear ya. I used to hate shaving. I'd walk around with the scruffy look until I felt I absolutely had to shave. Now my 5 oclock shadow is scared to come out.

    Me too. I have always liked to shave but never more so since i took up the straight razor. It opened up a whole new culture of personal pleasure and fun. Everyday I look forward to my shave.
    Nothing is as it ever was.

    I have found that it turned a mundane chore into an experience. Even though i am no longer required to shave every day, I choose to because of how enjoyable it is now. OP, you have started on a slippery slope of RAD... Enjoy!

    Nice looking blades. there are many here who make custom scales just look on the classifieds for the who you need. and welcome to the place. everyone here is more than willing to share experiences and knowledge.

    I have a bad case of RAD and my wife is going to kill me. I love getting razors off eBay and honing them up to perfection - I think I shave with a different razor every day but I do have my favorites....
