    Default I 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

    It can be both addiction and obsession. Enjoy the ride! tu:

    Ah, 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.

    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!

    "Hi, my name's Paul and I'm a razor-holic."

    Fortunately for me my wife is my enabler.

    Because 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.
