I haven't even had my first shave with a shave ready razor and now have a collection starting thanks to the generosity of the SRP community. from the monthly giveaway and from Outlaw when he sent me extras after he honed my Dovo.
Thanks everyone

Excellent start! You'll have to get enough razors that it would pay (in the money you save) to buy your own set of hones!:) (but seriously learn to shave first)
Unless he keeps getting free razors with every honing :).Quote:

I am afraid you have fallen into a rabbit hole. This place is full of enablers that'll suck you in even deeper.
Warning! There is NO cure for RAD (Razor Acquisition Disorder) but there is a treatment..........BMR, Buy More Razors!
The wife saw me perusing the bay earlier and says “really?!? You don’t have enough already?”. To which I reply “well there’s just a couple more grinds I want.” She roles her eyes and laughs.
You think RAD is bad, just wait until you go on the search for your perfect edge...
A little light, to the realism.Quote:

There's others, much worse than I
My wife use to say the same thing about fishing equipment. May answer was too look into her closet and tell me how many hand bags and pairs of shoes she needs. That usually ended the argument.:argue:Quote:

It’s still usually “Nope”, but I do feel better.
What makes this particularly funny to me is that you can make your own!:rofl2:Quote:

Yep, I got a Torrey and a Wade and Butcher at a yard sale for five bucks each. Now I am pretty sure that I have 100 blades. Marsdens, and Roberts, and WB's, Wostys, and Reynolds, and Unions, ......... I just recently found out that I do not have to have one blade by everyone.
Who is spreading that nonsense?Quote:

Practice what I preach not what I do!:rofl2:
100 seems like a lot when you have 10 or less. After you've passed the century mark it doesn't seem like more than a start.
I'm reminded of when John D. Rockefeller was asked how much money is enough. His answer was, " just a little more. "
I am trying to just buy Sheffield, but then i see a lonely little rusty thing at a yard sale, and i just have to bring it home.
