Thread: Do You suffer from RAD, SAD or BAD?

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 ummed and ahhed for ages about what to do with my excess stuff, give it to a new bloke and he might just disappear off the face of the planet with it, give it to friends - well they are usually pretty well equipped so I just sent it all to bill for the give aways.
I now have 3 straights, 3 strops, 2 brushes and one safety razor. As for soaps and creams I just mixed all of each together excepting one puck I use at home and have a largish tub of each at work where I do most of my shaving. The soap tub gets left over hand soap etc dumped in it along with the various bits of shaving soap I had, the cream tub gets Al the creams and left over lather from shaving mixed in.

I just suffer... that's it.... nothing more to say..... I'm a gonner...... done for..... left for dead.....

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.

HAD is my worst one with RAD coming in 2nd, luckily I don't have any other shaving ones!! lol

I've been there and done that, though I prefer to call it "acquisition" disorder. I kicked cold turkey though and now I'm more interested in getting rid of stuff than getting it ....... which can become a disorder as much as the other side of the coin ........

Same here, I like the hunt better than the big pile of stuff so I sell everything that's doubles (triples..lol!)
