I have a disease...

[cosmicdoom]

In my first thirty days since buying a vintage razor, this is what I've acquired. (sorry about the lousy cell phone pictures, my camera ran out of batteries)

The Techs:

All bought in the wild. One seems to be an open-comb fat-handled tech? Can this be so? Or is it a Frankenrazor?

All of these are NEWs, except the far left which is a German? made Otto Roth, Gillette Patent Razor.

No Colored Tips yet. The two Black-Handled SS's have different knurling patterns, top is a birth year.

I can't wait to go to the largest antique mall in the midwest tomorrow...and its to little brothers...:clap:

[Copierguy]

It seems you may have contracted a mutant strain of RAD. Are you experiencing any secondary symptoms such as the inability to drive past a second hand store.....anything like that?

[Krona Kruiser]

Been there done that.................wait, I'm still doing that :a44:

[cosmicdoom]

Always looking forward to my next foray into the wilderness. I do think I'm going to put some of the razors on the BST for trade in soaps.

[bluesbishop]

My good man, I think you have a severe case of RAD. I am sorry to inform you, there is no known cure. Many learn to live with this affliction for years, but for many, the use of a support group helps.

We at the brotherhood of the Open Comb, as part of our humanitarian outreach offer you this assistance. As part of your recovery process, please send all of your open comb razors to the brotherhood.

Remember, this is but the first step....we are here to help. :clown:


NICE collection!! that is a pretty impressive first month!

[Vickers]

*note to self: invest in bathroom shelving*

[Mendel]

Impressive collection!

[Rasierhobel]

the RAD will never stop!

[jonty]

very impressive get some nice display unit now and show them off.

[jbradley]

Unfortunatly, the only know cure for RAD is to rid yourself of everything related to wet shaving, go buy a cart razor & a can of goo. And some overpriced aftershave from a department store. I will of course volunteer to help, I'll PM you my address later, so you can start to rid yourself of this awfull disease.

Nice collection!

[Oblique Human]

Very nice razor collection.

[Sledgehammer39]

Amazing Haul!! You are definitely one of us... lol

[hotreds]

Welcome to disease city, brother!

A very nice start.

Completely off topic, but do I see some Ranchus and Shukins in that tank?

[cwnidog]

I'm sorry. You said something about a disease?

[dpmtherrien]

Of course you realize that there's no cure, don't you?

[cosmicdoom]

A very nice start.

Comets, I bought them to cycle my tank and SWMBO wouldn't let me get rid of them. I wanted cichlids but ended up with goldfish.....

Once you go wet shaving, there's no going back.

The only way to manage RAD is to have a woman on your case about it.

Mine says "Ok. They all look the same to me." But she does like the BBS shave!

When I see the look (more of an intense stare) with the silent treatment, I know not to go ahead with new purchases. Lol.

[cosmicdoom]

So....I just browsed a few antique malls this afternoon. Picked up a few new items.

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=34648?cache=1333329510

Fat Handled Tech. No brassing whatsoever. Came in a "Debutante" case, obviously mis-matched.

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=34644?cache=1333329630

Seemingly unused Travel Tech. Still has the paper "blade" insert.

http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=34643?cache=1333329754

Red Tip Super Speed. Excellent condition and my first color-tip SS. Came cased in a red and clear SS case that doesn't really fit. Fits the 40's SS's perfectly.


http://badgerandblade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=34647?cache=1333329861

Grand Turk Old Spice Mug.

[jbradley]

Nice haul!

[cosmicdoom]

Looks like the Heavy Handled Tech is actually an Early Tech with the Triangular slots. That makes me happy.

[HawleyHawk]

Lovin' the photos.

[bluesbishop]

I'm thinking I need a road trip to Ohio!! you guys have some great stuff out in the wild.....with all the retires here in Florida you would thing we would have some great finds....in all my trips I have found an Old spice mug and three brushes....

That fat handled tech looks sweet...and the red tip looks mint...Nice score!!

[goatee]

resistance IS futile.
