I've got a bad case of Razor Acquisition Disorder
So in the month or so that I have been Wet Shaving I caught a serious case of RAD. I have shaved with some and others I have just admired at this point. I do plan to shave with them all but I bought them all for one reason ...I like em and thats all. I know a little bit about each of them but not nearly enough so any comments on them I.E. age, history, Rarity would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some pics from my ever growing collection

Very gorgeous razors. I think I just spent a solid few minutes looking at these pictures over and over.

The third pic down is a Wade and butcher restored by Maximilian, it was in bad shape when he got it. The man is a master of his craft. I love the modern look and its a great shaver.Im waiting on two more restorations from him now . They should be here tomorrow . I will post pics when I get them.

Nice collection, man! I am in a similar situation, as I've now bought about a dozen razors, between new and old, Ebay and online shops. I am going to try my hand at restoration.

Im on it Doc! The two TI's were honed by you via vintage blades by the way. Im actually going to send a few of these your way in the next couple of days. The Filarmonicas were NOS so they have an old factory edge that needs to be bought up to shave ready status.
