    Default Really, I needed another one!

    Yesterday I came to the conclusion that I could not possibly live without one more razor. So, a Dovo Pearlex 5/8 is now making its way to my front door from SRD. I am easily distracted by shiny objects, and the gold on this one has me mesmerized! I can't wait to get her in rotation...

    There's no other way to put this: You will always "need" another one

    Congrats on the new addition, shiny things sure are pretty

    A couple of weeks ago I decided that I had pretty much rounded out my collection and, apart from a couple very special razors, I didn't really see myself getting much more that I didn't intend to sell.

    Fast forward to now and I have 7 razors in various states of transport to me.

    See, my collection is 95% Sheffield.

    There are FRENCH razors too!

    (and American)
    (and German)
    (and Spanish)
    (and Japanese)
    (and Scottish)
    (and Dutch)
    (and Etruscan)
    (and ... and ... and ...)

    'Just one more' is pretty much the SRP slogan!

    This is what I said about eight years ago. And now I have 56 razors in rotation! :-)
    Like Zephyr said, "There's no other way to put this: You will always "need" another one"! ;-)

    I just purchased my last razor only to find that I need just one more.

    Gentlemen,
    I have concluded that, when viewing straight razors, too much of a good thing is good. Through the years, I have experienced unpleasant phases of cleaning house in my modest razor collection, only to rebuild another modest collection. I have stopped doing that. Now I buy with much consideration and care — and this phase is a keeper. Which reminds me: there's an old Paul Schulze I've been eying and . . .

    That's a serious problem (disease?) I truly understand!
