Thread: I think it's official... I have RAD

So I was surfing the 'bay today out of boredom, and stumbled across this:
Vintage Red Imp #132 Straight Razor Made In USA By Case | eBay Half an hour later and I have myself a Red Imp.

I think it's official. I have RAD... I'm looking forward to this project!

Edit: Photos will be inbound as soon as I receive it!

Let's celebrate your disorder.

I am right there with you! I have been lurking on ebay non-stop for the last week and I got my first SR six days ago. If it wasn't for SWMBO I would probably be sitting at 10 razors at least with every type of cream/soap and several brushes and a scuttle!

Ah, JD. So good with Coke. It's a shame you can't drink at the distillery. That tour would have ended on a much less sober note...

This is my 3rd straight, 2nd from eBay. The 1st I bought new from The Art of Shaving. I've got the 2nd razor in another thread over in the workshop (as it's a work in progress ). As soon as I get this one in, I have a feeling it'll be in the workshop as well. I'm really enjoying the restoration aspect of this dangerous (to my wallet) hobby. I just got into straights not too long ago myself. Been shaving on and off with a safety for a few years now, however.

I am so proud of you for admitting your problem. This is always the first step in recovery. The second step will be difficult, but I am a giving soul, and I am willing to help. You must purge yourself of the evil. You must send me that evil little Red Imp...This is the only way!
