Thread: 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...

Y e s .

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.
Brushes....finding the one(s) that feel right will result in an accumulation of numbers.

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.
