    Trust me you will know in a couple of months what it feels like to have RAD

    You can then come back to this post of yours and get a good laugh from it.
    I already got the RAD bug. Just got 3 more razors with 2 more on the way. Now I'm shopping for a place to store everything!

    I have done just that with my double edges, I have eight of them that I rotated amongs them. I do not do this with straight razors, for the simple reason that I have only one.

    My opinion is that each razor has a different touch to it so a little variety is always a good thing.

    I am finding it's nice to have 2 sharp razors just in case I oops. One hopeful that might be shave ready in case I'm feeling cocky and several in line.

    I may also find it nice to have 6 sharp razors and a new hobby.

    We shall see.

    I keep no more then seven razors in my stable. If I snag a razor that is a great restore, there has to be significant reason for me to take out one of current stable and place the new one. Consequently, all the razors in my rotation are incredible razors. I am currently holding one spot open, just in case I get the SRP Livi. (I hope, I hope, I hope)

    I do have bunch on my bench but those for sales.

    I had just such a moment this morning. I was shaving with a Joseph Allen I got off the Bay and had spent the better part of Saturday morning getting into shave-ready condition. I was halfway through my second pass, and rinsing a quadrant's worth of Valobra soap/cream/whatever it is off the blade, edge up as not to ding it on the porcelain, and somehow brought it up too fast, catching the lip of the faucet.

    After I stopped swearing, I went to the rough side of my strop to see how bad it was. After I stopped swearing again, I realized that little guy is taking a trip all the way back to the 4000 side of my Norton, but in the meantime having a pinch hitter sitting right in the toothbrush holder meant I got to come to work this morning with a clean shave.

    When your morning stupor's got you mourning stupidity, sometimes a fallback is nice...

    I've seen you mention this a few times, so I finally have to ask...
    What is the one razor that you use?

    Uhmm, speak for yourself, please. I don't have role models with 1 razor, nor do I plan on it!

    I'm using my Dovo #41 Pearlex 5/8". I've had about 15 or
    so different razors in the past, and my collection shrinks
    and grows periodically. If I don't get an SRP Livi I might
    spring for a Dovo Special Tortoise!
