Nice start. Keep it up. As far as if it ever stops, yes it does. When you're dead

Nice! You should be set for a long while...if you want to be.

I can vouch for the him having the Fatboy and Slim. That said, I want to see pics too!

Glad that you are enjoying the shaves and the ADs.

Umm... You're a month in and don't have any Open Combs yet? Hmmm... You better get started.

*EDIT*

I see you do have a Gillette NEW. Still, one's not nearly enough.

 

[celestino]

Excellent and congratulations!

 

[Useless shaver]

You think it's a lot...???

OK.. Congrats... Nice den!

RAD never really got me. I used an EJ89L, then won a black handled Superspeed in a PIF. I bought an EveryReady 1912 from a member, and stopped using DE for the most part. I re-piffed the SS. Then, I bought a sight unseen straight from Larry at whippeddog. Less than a month later, I have three straights- two with which I am going to try my hand at honing. So, in almost 2 years of wetshaving, I have owned 3 safety razors. In one month of straight shaving, I have three straights. This does not bode well.

NO camera Ben. And the world stops, Ben doesn't believe me!!!

A big Congrats !

An electric razor was probably the most dangerous razor I have ever used, bar none.
When I was younger and a member of the corporate world, I had an hour commute to work.
Seems, almost any given morning, I would shave while driving...lets just say fast...and survived to write this!
Now that I have paced my life style a little slower and use a straight razor exclusively, I have "stopped to smell the roses" so to speak. For me, life in general, is just so much more harmonious now.

Hi Chris
No camera, see what you started, have a nice day.

Wow, that is awesome. My wife would probably doing something bad with one of my razors if I bought all that stuff in one month. That is a great list of items, keep it up.
