Thread: I think I need a sponsor...

Ok... It's not as bad as it looks, but after SWMBO piled all this up in front of me to show me why the credit cards were being locked up and paypal password changed, I kinda had to agree. And this is only one month of purchases.

To be fair, the box of GD razors in the back of the photo are going to be honed and modded for friends and family. Some of the brushes and Mama Bear soaps will be given to family as well. Otherwise, I was just looking to get a start on a 7-day set.

It's a good thing she doesn't know I have a few restoration blades and a couple old American blades on the way. Though she did see my Christmas present to myself from Max. She is actually pretty cool about it so far, as she has also helped me order numerous dremel attachments and I have a bench sander on the way.

Anyway, she says the photos are the first step to admitting my addiction. I guess I need to hurry up and complete some of the mods so I can get her to give back my plastic and my manhood. I blame all you guys and your talk of what is next on your wishlist.

I feel for you man.
I am self controlled now, hope you can do it too.

I need to show this picture to my wife... She's not giving me a hard time yet, but this could be a nice preventative measure on my part... I'm much further in that 1 month, and I'd come out smelling like a rose... Speaking of rose, I need to go get some GFT Rose SS...

The first step is admitting I am powerless over my addiction and my life has become unmanageable. Once you realize that you do it until it hurts enough to stop.

I highly suspect that this is nothing compared to your wife's collection of shoes.

Not too shabby for one month, but how can you live with only one strop?

LOL... She was just sending her friend in Holland the link to the forum to show the picture, and you sent this off. She almost spit out her beer, and with an impish smile said "Na dao shi or 那倒是!!." Which basically = "that's the truth!"

Jimmy: Repeating the mantra.

Rich: You are killing me. Been wanting to get GFT, Tabac, and MWF. Hence the reason I will be giving away a few Mama Bear's.

Sidenote: I am noticing how many of you guys are from the Carolinas on the forum. Would be cool to meet up if any of you are around for the holidays. Will be going back to NC for Christmas.

Hehe... that was this month. There is another strop (only one more) upstairs tied to the bathroom door. Like I said, there is still some things she didn't find that I have hidden around.

I did good for the first couple of months till I found this site. Now it is feeding my addiction...

It's to the point that I find myself walking into shops and finding a familiar scent... "hmmm... that smells like L'Occitane Cade" or "is that Mama Bear's Awakenings"... It's a sickness. I know.

Yes, that is familiar... Just yesterday I went downstairs to buy some bottled water and came up with Proraso Pre/Post cream in my hand

I still have 12 (I think) razors on their way from this month's razor binge.

I like when razors show up that you forgot you'd ordered. I sometimes wonder if any have slipped through the cracks. I don't want to be supporting the mailman's habit.
