This is a way to live and a philosophy of life from which we can all learn. I carried boxes of books with me for over 35 years as i moved from job to job and city to city. Gave most of them away a couple of years ago and haven’t missed any. The thought and act of paring down the collection was much more traumatic than living with the reduced amount of stuff.
I started down the same path with straight razors - trying to get as many as I could find at the beginning. We live in two locations and I keep 10 or 12 at each. The reality is that I have 4 or 5 at each location that I consistently use and the others I pull out to hone or polish when I’m looking for something to do. There are a few I want to rescale using home made wooden scales and some others I want to further clean up, but I have reduced the urge to find more and can actually visit eBay or the BST forum here and appreciate the pics with out the urge to bid or buy.
