    Default Do You suffer from RAD, SAD or BAD?

    I've avoided Razor Addiction Disorder so far by luckily only shaving with Western Kami style razors and there are only so many out there. And I have a great brush, so I have avoided Brush Addiction Disorder, so far. (So far)

    But, Lord have mercy, do I suffer from Soap Addiction Disorder. I just started wet shaving in August and I have 15 years worth of wonderful, fragrant soaps in my den. This and I just got my first MDC! I haven't even shaved with Mitchell's yet!

    I'm doomed to drown in a tsunami of tubs and wooden bowls...

    I wish I had an AD, I guess I have ADAD, it is a paradox.

    I thought I had tamed my SAD, but it looks like it will inflame soon. Mike's Natural soap is working very well for me so I'll be getting a few of their scents.
    RAD has always been in gear.

    No, I have cycled through a few razors and a few more soaps but I don't feel the need to buy buy buy anymore. I recently gave away all bar one safety razor and one of my 3 brushes. It is all stuff I never use.
    With regards to soaps I will just add any left overs to the cauldron.

    I would probably give away more stuff if there were beginning wet shavers near me. I have acquired a lot of stuff. At this point it is not well organized enough for my liking and my lack of organization has sort of killed my desire to get more stuff. I feel the need to purge some of my stuff as well. I plan on keeping stuff that I really like using, and my 5/8 full hollows, for the most part need to find loving homes. So at this point I have to say acquiring is not my mode. I have lots. Compared to many I have very few soaps, but I have more than enough. I several brushes, in time I plan on two more. One will be a custom from a member here, the other will be a high end brush, but I am in no hurry. I have enough strops, but will likely get one or two more. I have come to a point of having enough or too much stuff.

    I have RAD, picked up 7 razors in the past 2 months, last one was a Genco Grant, all from Antique shops most in good to great shape, they need a good cleaning and a hone, might be sending a couple out to get shavable.

    I think I have finally tried enough stuff in 2+ years to know what I like. Doesn't mean I won't try new stuff but of the 50 or so soaps and creams I have kept, only 20 are really rotated. Same with razors and brushes that hover now around 10 each instead of the 30 or so I peaked at. I have a few DE razors that never see use and should probably be sold or gifted.

    I am sure the bug will bite again.
