Thanx! She shaves beautifully. (A little on the stiff side which I prefer.) But she's no ivory LeGrelot. Did you see that razor? Wow.

Seriously, the one razor that has cured my RAD [at least for full hollows] is the ERN Master. She's my baby.

WTFUUUUUUUUUU... I have never seen one of those before... damn RAD is kicking in... need my pills. Whered you get it? I need one...

These are nice....

And it's available for only 118.00 Euros. Well within a decent price range. 6/8 carbon steel, 1/1 Full Hollow shoulderless.
link: 6/8

Go to the link and if you hit the UP arrow you will get a whole page FULL of nice 6/8 Revisors. Then there are the 5/8 and 8/8 as well.

Agree with some of the previous posters, as long as you remain inclined towards the acquisition of razors there is no cure for RAD...even the Grim Reaper might have a hard time stopping it and who is to say he doesn't have RAD?

The ERN Master? I just happened across it in an online auction site. Lucky me. =)

Thanx,

I also have a TI, C135 french point that is a very fine razor but the one that did more than any other to just kinda made me realize that enough is enough, is this Robert Williams that I have...... I still love her but sometimes I think she is toying with me!


Attachment 57765

It is almost 7/8, 1/4 grind, with giraffe bone scales and has just enough weight to show some authority without being obnoxious. I use it on the weekends when I have time to really enjoy the way it cuts a line. It is just an exceptional razor both in looks and the way that it shaves.


Take Care,

Good Lord that thing is gorgeous!

I'm afraid no one razor can cure that.
Too many different blades out there, I've yet to try the majority of them.
Nope, the first 100 did not satisfy any RAD
All those have done is make me more picky, but by no means cure it

Surely it has to be a custom of some sort, 'cause we all know that if you spend $1000 on a single razor you will never want another again? Right? Guys, back me up here and tell me it's true, please........

Sorry, been there done that, numerous times even. Didn't help

It's true, I've seen a few of Birnandos customs at the London razorcon last year. all it did is fuel my RAD and get him talking about the next one!
