Highly debatable question - mine was after my first successful sr shave - hooked and obsessed
My wife calls the whole thing man pampering.
The inlaws came to us for dinner on Sunday and when the father in law asked where I was she replied "In the bathroom, man pampering"
I did however find out that the father in law uses a wilkinson sword DE that he was bought at 15 by his dad. He actually has a pretty sweet little set up.
I only need to check my Ebay buying history to know that I am hopelessly lost in Razordom, a make beleive place, or maybe not, that exists somewhere in....The Twilight Zone!
Having just gotten a mileage reimbursement check in the mail...my first thought was to see if I could sign them all over to Larry A, in an effort to get a leg up on the collection...
That's no joke. I thought that.
its not an obession its a passion, some of us are just more passionate than others.
I have only been using a straight since the start of december and I already have early onset RAD (have a Boker red injun and W&B in the mail on their way too me) and the point about having to remember not to talk about razors in public or to your friends happens far too often already. I can see this making me very poor but happy!
I believe the key to beating an addiction isn't to stop buying but to start selling. I'm only a year or two into this and I have the urge to make my own accessories and sell the over flow. I know nothing about wood working or pottery or anything else in wet shaving production and I'm already thinking of taking classes to cure my ignorance.
I don't know the magnitude of such cheques, but Whipped Dog razors cater to a specific niche in the market - and that is the cheap niche. To his credit, whipped dog makes no bones about that (pun intended): "...all corners are cut to reduce the price...".
If you have the cash, why on earth would you buy an "all corners cut" razor? They may shave you fine, but I doubt even whipped dog himself would expect you to use his service as anything but a gateway or stepping stone to bigger and better things.

Man thats some real hate for whipped dog going on in here.
