Thread: What razor was a RAD killer for you?

I don't think I've seen a RAD killer. The problem with getting a great razor is that you then keep thinking what else is there out there that's as good or even better. My RAD slowed down when I got north of 120 razors. Realising that you're rarely going to get to shave with each one is a real bummer.

I've identified several along my journey in this sport.
After I acquired them, some new razor always popped up that I just had to have.

The Snake by Livi was one of those, but even that just lasted about a fortnight before I was eager checking the Fed-Ex site with my next tracking number

Is this a trick question?

Thought i'd just got it a Fenney Tally Ho in reasonable shape and in my price range,it had several scratch's and i thought just been cleaned with some paper,turns out the blade is soft as butter and wont hold an edge so the search continues

My first japanese western. Defintiely not a RAD killer, but after using it a few times I realized that I don't need 50ish razors. I've since scaled down greatly and really only look for 'special' razors now. I still have on my 'must try' list a fili and a puma. I keep looking for decent ones that won't break the bank but have been unsuccessful thus far. I've never even seen a Palmera for sale

Mine (probably temporarily) was the last one, a Boker Silver steel extra hollow 6/8...but it wasn't because of the razor, it was because when I unwrapped it, my wife asked if I was planning on buying as many razors as I had guns. Made me think....

The one that broke the bank

Can't say it was a particular razor for me, just that I have a small collection of nice razors and don't really need more. It doesn't help that prices have risen dramatically over the last couple years, and I remember how much certain razors used to sell for compared to now.

Keep looking Grasshopper,someday over the rainbow,Your dream may come true

After 35 straights...diff sizes,grinds,scales,steel, I have found some I like...and now have to sell off the rest..someday.

Like any addiction, you can only contain, not cure, it. Lack of funds and 'what am I going to do with all these?' has slowed me down. Only looking for a NOS, a custom and any odd ones along the way to the big barbershop in the sky. Thought I had a NOS awhile back. Damn the eBay tricksters! Actually looking at reducing my 35 razor rotation by at least 6 or 7. That is if I can develop any negative feelings about any of them.
