Im SR shaving for one month and I alredy bought a lot of soaps aftershaves and 3 razors. Do someone know how to stop this ?

It might be better to just go with the flow. Your only other option is to go back to a multiblade disposable & foam.

Typically your significant other will think of ways to make your AD's more complicated. "Stop this"? In my case I don't think it's possible.*

*two new razors yesterday. more to come on that.

Hey, is that a razor coffin on the top right? I bet it's a Wade & Butcher based on the shape...

That MUST be the secret wedge-honing stone!

Oh, wait.... does this seem sick to you? ;)

Seriously, though... the trick here is to let go and enjoy the mania. :D

don't sweat the small stuff. i hear that they have really great interest rates on second and even third mortgages now. more money means more razors, more strops, more shave soaps, more colognes. less stress about RAD

Lucky for me my *ADs run in cycles, at the moment I'm aflicted with HAD, I just get really picky and it helps slow me down... that and being so broke I can't pay attention...

In the sense that a cure for a hangnail would be
to cut off your hand ;)

In my experience the multiple ADs are diseases that must be fed; what is that old saying, "feed a cold, starve a fever."? Or the other way around, not sure. I just keep buying stuff, and I feel perfectly fine; but of course, I have no wife.:)

Even death isn't a cure. Someone will inherit the shave den, and the ADs are passed on to that lucky soul. Just like that the movie Fallen:(

Just don't think of it as a disease or disorder. It doesn't harm you, it makes you happy, so go for it!

That depends on whether or not your significant other understands or not. So far my wife and kids have been a pretty good preventative, as far as indulging. Though I think these guys are right, there is no cure.

As a wife and having a joint bank account, I can say that it is not as big a detriment to indulgience in AD's. In fact I for the most part am encouraging or at least enabling this :)

I Need to confess that I have no problems with my beautiful wife even when I keep the aftershaves at the fridge. (by the way, a good tip)

Yep, CarrieM encourages me! :) Guess it could be worse. I've been honing razors every week for almost a year now. When I don't have any to hone I feel lost and start rescaling some blades that may or may not need it. I really don't think there is any cure for this. My goal was to shave with every razor I have starting this past mid December. I don't think I made through January before new razors started piling up. They were freshly honed of course. I have yet to get back to shaving trough my collection. I think at last count I had 24 razors I haven't shaved with yet and we were planning on going on the hunt again a couple of times more before summer ends.

I can't imagine what it would be like if CarrieM gave me grief about the collection. I don't even want to go there.

I picked up a dozen samples of soaps and test sample aftershave from Colleen ( thegentlemensquarter ). A razor, razor set from SRD, and 2 used straight razors from classifieds. Pretty sure I would've bought more if the $30-35 ones weren't sold. :P :o
