    Default One month with SRAD

    There is nothing weird about getting up on a Saturday morning, laying out all your razors, taking pics of every razor related item you own, and posting them online for a totally random group of dudes to look at and comment on.. simply because we all like to remove the hair from our face with unnervingly sharp objects.

    If you asked me about straight razors one month ago i would have responded with something like "you mean that thing from that creepy Johnny Depp movie with the chick from Fight Club?".

    Things have changed..

    Here's the damage.

    Antique stores, ebay, and the Dovo from Lynn.

    That's one month? Oh man, you've got it bad. We're not random dudes though. We all have the same disorder.

    Yep, I predict next year you will be getting that many razors in single lots and your shop/apartment will have a roll up door :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I have a gut feel that your shelf space will need expanding from the soaps you will be purchasing in the not too distant future.

    you have it bad! it must stop now or it will only get worse! the only cure is to send all your razors to me (a licensed RAD therapist) and i will dispose of them properly.(It's the only way to get rid of the guilt).

    That's a good start. Now start looking for iwasakis, heljestrand ivory, jnats, morris and forndran, simpson manchurian, filarmonica #14's, friodurs, and a few custom razors to even the collection out. Time will tell how deep your addiction runs
