Thanked: 2I think I have a problem
I lost my TI I bought 10 years ago. I put it in one my cabinets because I was always on the go and didn’t have much time to use it. After quarantine started, I went nuts looking for it. I couldn’t find it and it probably ended up in the donation pile when we moved last year. I was really really bummed out.
So I went to this site to research my next straight razor. I was amazed to see all the vintage and custom razors. But I only needed one and I had to decide which one to get.
Fast forward 3 weeks to today, I now have over a dozen razors including a few vintage ones. No Filarmonica 14 yet ;-)
Is this addiction or obsession? I know my wife will yell at me at when she sees the credit card bill. Early 50th birthday gift I’m thinking lol

Thanked: 3228Ah, it is not a problem unless you can't afford it monetarily or marriage wise. Other than that you are good to go.

There's a clinical name for it. Razor Acquisition Disorder. RAD for short. Good luck!

Your fine. Just keep the buying at less than 10 a week and it's nothing to worry about.
It's just Sharpening, right?

You are good! Get your wife a bouquet of flowers and tell her you Love her and appreciate her, give her a box of chocolates, and give her some wine, then give her some. It'll work out for you, I think!

Thanked: 4830Because I leave for work for three weeks at a time, when I was having razor benders, I would get home to a stack of packages. My wife never said much, but she is a minimalist and just the fact that the packages were there I’m sure irritated her.
