I had already promised myself to stop, but then saw this Frederick Reynolds 6/8 wedge in yellow horn, and it was too good to pass up. Now I'm done buying for a good while. Have plenty to work on--enough to keep me busy for months, maybe years.

If you can stop buying for weeks, much less months, I'll send you a razor for free!
Update me mid August. :)
They are for certain my favorite Sheffield razor. I have quite a few brands to choose from and they are my second favorite brand. I'm going to stop buying soon too, after today. If we band together perhaps we can make that couple of weeks!
One of your favourites is Reynolds? Wow. Any particular type?Quote:

I just finished up finally getting my reynolds up to par. It looks just like yours but has an etching of George Washington and the words "the champion of liberty". I haven't shaved with it yet but I will be soon. Definitely a promising blade and hopefully a great shave.
What's the first favorite brand?Quote:

It's easy to stop buying from Ebay. Here's a step by step guide on how to do it.
1. All you need to do is gather up all your computers, cell phones, tablets.
2. Put on safety glasses
3. Prop up your lawn mower with bricks, stick, planter pot, or whatever you have on hand.
4. While its running of course, start throwing them into the blade.
5. clean up the mess
6. Create some story for when your wife gets home and wants to get onto Pinterest so she doesn't kill you.
It's so easy!
Nice blade by the way. I Love my Freddie. :)
I can stop anytime I want to....
I have a couple of 7/8" near wedges and a faux frame back. They are no harder to hone than any other smiling wedge and seem to take and hold their edges quite well. They shave nice as a result. I like the balance and feel. They seem to peek ahead of my W&B and Wostenholms and Greaves just a bit. It is probably more to do with me than the razors themselves, they are probably all pretty much the same quality.Quote:

A buying binge is a point of high intensity within a continuous range of activity.Quote:
