    Default It's just shaving, it's not like my other hobbies...

    I'm a new member and have been wandering around the site for a little bit.

    OMG! I had no idea!

    This could get just as bad as my Jeep or guns.

    I thought, there is no way I would ever amass any amount of shaving supplies
    other than a few items.

    This could be very bad. Especially if SWMBO finds out.

    And this my friend is why I have a P.O. Box and only razors with black scales...to the untrained eyes of Mrs. ReardenSteel all my razors look exactly the same.

    My wife and I keep separate finances, so except for shaking her head when another package comes in the mail we are all good. It works both ways
    And I agree...I had no idea either when I started this hobby!

    I never thought about only razors with black scales, what a great idea. Now that could apply to brush handles, soap containers.....

    Welcome to SRP!
    After a good straight shave, you will understand the addiction even more.
    And I'm not going to discussed how much money I've spent since I gave up on those expensive cartridges..., but I'm never going back.

    To be clear, it CAN be just shaving. It is possible to shave with a straight razor without making it into a hobby. You don't need every razor, and hone, and strop, and brush, and soap. One of each is sufficient if you wish to focus on other hobbies. Good luck with that!
