RAD is a contagious disease!!

:gth Look at what you guys did to me!! Now I have it too. I haven't even gotten the frameback I ordered from LX yet and already I'm ordering more razors. Insiduous RAD.
Couldn't resist though: http://www.billysblades.com/MC.Razors/4055.htm
A big ole W&B from Bill. How could I resist. It's probably better to just give in than to fight it, especially since I haven't learned to hone properly yet. Yea. Yea. . .That's my excuse. Besides, if what you all say about W&B's is true this will baby will make me one well shaved, happy boy.
Just wanted to share my excitement with you all.

I know! :cry:

I'm in the same boat! Waiting for five razors to arrive!!!! You did it to yourself though. You can't expect us to take the blame can you? :nj By the way, I tried the best soap today....:D

I guess I might as well fess up too, one arrived yesterday so I'm down to five due in the mail. I'll generally try to get the used ones cleaned/polished up as soon as they arrive but getting them honed takes longer and there's a backlog there. Some get set aside as nice collectibles and may never get honed and used.

You're right its not your fault

Sorry, I didn't mean to blame anyone, its not your fault that you're so contagious. Its like hanging out in a leper camp and expecting to keep all your fingers and your nose. . .except in a good way. :nj

And don't count on that either when dealing with sharp blades. The sad part will be warping the blade and ruining all that honing effort :cry:

I have personally found that when you find what you love, and find a few rare, unique, or otherwise hard to replace razors, you judge all others in comparison and end up paying a lot more for the ones you love, but spending a lot less over all by not buying all the random razors you did when you were trying to figure out what type suits you best. Obviously I dont have all one type of razor, but I have a few favorites that helps guide my decisions.

Of course with guys like Bill, Vlad, Joe, Gary and the others it makes unique much easier to acquire lol :w

RAD? You want to talk about RAD? How about 263 and counting. That was in 2001. That was before I had even heard of eBay. That was before I even though of starting my own business. Of course, I'm on medication now. And the therapy helped. And I hardly ever hear those voices any more saying, "Just one more Wonderedge, just one more Wade and Butcher."

I definately want another Wade and Butcher.
I do have a Fredrick Reynold's which is a
Sheffield razor. It seems to be very close
to a W&B. What else do I want????

I suppose I'll keep checking out what Bill, Joe
or Lynn have for sale and something will catch
my eye.
