Thread: I'm Ian, and I'm a razorholic...

Buy, restore, shave, sell, recycle profits. I started cutthroat shaving 10 months ago and have bought over 100 razor's. I keep about 20 in my personal collection for shaving. I recycle all my profits back into my obsession. That way I don't feel bad about buying as long as I am making profits to contribute towards my obsession.

This thread should be compulsory reading for those deluded individuals who think they are going to save money by not having to purchase Mach 4 blades.

A little.

For a a couple of weeks, anyway.

You don't need to explain, you just put your built-in female exclamation moderation filter to good use!

I spent about 1,600 USD over the last three months on about 30 straight razors (most of those need some sort of restoring). Add to that some money on naniwa's, Tony Miller strop, .... *sigh*

BUT since my last razor purchase now 10 days ago I haven't even looked at razors on eBay. I am Showing True Strength Of Character .

I've decided to first restore the lot of them, maybe throw a couple on the Bay and thén start buying again ...

I have been eyeballin some customes over at bladeforums for a while now. Not that I have a any to spend but if I did they go for 350+ a pop. Now that
is a beautifuly ridiculas thing.
