Thread: Too Many Recent Acquisitions!

So I've read that once RAD takes over, sets in and consumes you there's really no stopping it. Below are a few of my recent acquisitions over the past few weeks. I apologize for the somewhat sketchy pictures, as this is my first attempt at razor photography and I think I need another light pointed in my box.

First is a Wacker Antik 15/16 in horn scale. It's a delightful shaver!



My second acquisition was a Hart Steel 7/8 square point, matte finish with red oak scales. I must say, it was honed very nicely by artisan JA and ripped through my beard.


Thirdly was a Dovo Bergischer Lowe 5/8 with horn scales. I typically don't like smaller blades or extra hollow blades but this razor is just wonderful!!


And last, but not least, a Wade & Butcher 8/8 "The Celebrated" with barbers notch. It has had some restoration done to it in the past but still has some minor pitting that I am planning on having taken care of. It is scaled in spalted mango wood.


Needless to say, my face has been getting quite a workout lately as I try to fine tune all of these razors!

Nice set of razors you have there.
Thanks for sharing them.

Those are some fine looking blades.

If you really have too many acquisitions I will gladly take a donation or 6 to help you get that under control.

After all we try very hard to be a helpful and friendly community.

I am sorry to say, but there is no such thing as too many new acquisitions

Shhhhhhhhh...

Cool razors, im only three second hand razors in and i can feel the urge. The razor stand is neat. Hmm light box might be on the cards too

Veerrrrry nice. I'm sure those will provide a lifetime of shaving and, will eventually lead to a lifetime of debt due to buying more razors

You know I have been pondering the absurd joke/old wives tale lately that shaving with a straight razor will save you money in the long run! My conlusion is that this is just something we shall tell SWMBO!

I bought a bottom of the line Dovo in January. Since then, I shudder at the amount of money I have spent in razors, razor accessories, and materials for restoring razors. It's terrifying...ly awesome.

I'd say the title of your thread is a false premise .... Too Many Recent Acquisitions! .......... no one can have too many razors !

Congrats, you have some really nice pieces there. You are obviously a man of discernment and impeccable taste.
