Thread: What razor was a RAD killer for you?

What did you buy that ceased your desire to hunt and search and purchase more and more, even if only one or two razors a year? What did you buy that finally quenched that RAD urge???

A Brian Brown custom from a member here. Dressed in ivory and red g10.

My next purchase will be a custom to my specs.

Whatever it is, unfortunately it hasn't shown up yet.

I have a bad internet connection so it may take a min.

Wow that is gorgeous. Great looking razor.

My Palmeras,kept the 14 I have,chit canned the other 120,inc my filiys,no brainer for me,The cream always comes to the top.

Buying a specific razor didn't stop it. Realizing I have more to work through (restore) than I have time for did it. When I get through them, I will buy again.

A RAD Killer doesn't exist, IMO, I'm only slowed by the green stuff in my wallet.

Several western Iwasakis, and the realization that a razor is a razor and the looks will not make it a better shaver.
I 'd still definitely would jump on something that grabs my eye though.

I'm with Splashone here. When I looked in the drawer and saw a good dozen or so blades that needed attention I pretty much stopped looking to buy. Not that I'm averse to peeking into the odd antique store now and then...

Another thing was realizing that the handful of razors I have in regular rotation work really, really well. In other words, I feel no need to chase a 'better' blade. And then there was realizing that I had a bunch of other stored as well... I think it might be time to thin the herd one of these days.

My one exception to this: as soon as I have access to a forge again, I'll be like a pig in muck pursuing my next blade - but I'll be forging that one, and I don't think that counts.
