    Default Beware!!

    Newcomers beware! There is an insidious malady that afflicts many who tread these electronic halls...AND YOU COULD BE NEXT!! The infirmity I speak of is one of the mind and of the soul! And once this disease....this blight...this...affliction latches onto a poor innocent, that unfortunate is lost to its vile clutches! And woe I say, WOE unto the sad miscreant's purse, for it shall soon be lighter!

    "What is this ailment?", you ask. "Is it the drink, Dzanda, or perhaps the ponys, or cards and dice? Or could you mean consorting with slatterns? Or....no...you can't mean...JAZZ!?!"

    No...I speak of RAD. Not the Royal Academy of Dance, but RAZOR ACQUISITION DISORDER!

    ********
    OK. All silliness aside, I became infected on January third, 2014; that's the day when I purchased my first straight razor. Less than four months have passed...even less since I actually started shaving...and that first razor now has plenty of company:

    While I can't compete with some aflictees, who due to the demands of politeness and decency shall go unnamed (DennisBarberShop), I'm genuinely shocked by this development. I naively believed that I'd stop at four, maybe five razors. But here I am, with 21 already (the one that started it all isn't the photo...that one's with gssixgun, having his magic worked on it)!

    *SHEESH!*

    Wow, I only have five . . . somehow, I'm feeling inadequate.

    Seriously though Dzanda, have you watched Lynn's video yet? There's a segment in his video where he highlights some of his collection (keyword "some"). There has to be approximately 120 razors on the table in that segment of the video.

    Yeah, I've seen that video. But I'm not too concerned...Lynn has a considerable head start on me!
