Thread: RAD incubation complete, now fully afflicted

I received (upon my request) a straight razor (a Dovo) for Christmas.

6 weeks later and I've spent the entire Sunday evening honing a growing collection including 2 Dovos (added a Flowing), 4 Wade & Butchers, 2 Torreys and a few others with another 5 en route from eBay.

What's it like to show an interest in new stuff for the non-OCD population?

Ha Ha let me know when your done and I'll start bidding again. :<0) . It's like Christmas that never ends huh ? Looks like your getting some good ones. Congrats.

I wouldn't know having raging OCD myself. Those all look like nice razors though.

Look at the bright side: working on them keeps you off the streets.

"off the streets" for the win!

Appear to have gained an experience point in the "reset the bevel" department - the most beat up of the bunch took a lot of circles and x strokes to get a clear cutting edge under the 10x loupe. Just shaved with it this morning...smooooooth!

Thanks for all the offline advice Warren (ace)!
