I doubt that any one razor can kill RAD completely. I have about 3 that put an end to most of my desires to buy any more. I just like shaving, not much on collecting. I have a B&B LeGrelot 1/4 grind that has just never been topped, equaled, but not topped for quality of shave and ease of honing. 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!
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,

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 itBjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

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........
