Thread: the razor that killed RAD

I never had it in the first place, although it may have just been killed off before it had a chance to develop when I got my Wilkinson Sword.

Okeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey... so I guess I have been hanging out... with a real sick crowd... hope this RAD thing isn't contagious cause damn... I have been thinking about a wacker... DAMN YOU PEOPLE!!! this was about re confirming that RAD isn't permanent!!! and you RADDIES have done just the opposite! my CC is quivering now.

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.

For me it was a Naniwa Chosera 10K hone
and a Naniwa 12K hone.

I think I could hone a razor edge on an Idaho potato with them.

They absolutely improved all the razors in my collection.

OH wait I just got a W&B in the mail today. <blush> my RAD is back.

Enjoying what you have is the most logical solution and the most boring.

Just because my str8 collection keeps growing doesn't mean anything. I can quit at any time. I'm in complete control. It's only for recreation use, I swear. I don't have RAD, what are you talking about.

Nope, nothing kills the RAD!

Nothing kills the HAD either...

As soon as I get something that makes me go "WOW" it just kick starts the chase to find something better...!

C'mon, the Chronik's not that elusive. I have one in the back of my closet I don't even use.

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

Two 1/4 grind Grelots from Martin in a lovely TI shaving box should have cured me. But I've bought about 50 since then.

That is one heck of a nice looking razor CJ. How does it shave, hone and strop? Is the blade really thin at the edge?
