Thread: Help! I am pretty sure I have full blown Acquisition Disorder :(

So over the past few weeks I have been doing some serious acquiring of things that I probably did not need, but really, REALLY wanted to have. I hope i can stop for a while now, but i said that after I bought the Jnat... Does anyone else know of a way to make it stop? Im sorry the pic is a little blurry, but if you look close I think you can get the idea.

Looks like you've got the creme de la creme in all categories there, pun intended I find the acquisition disorders calm down a little after you satisfy the itch of trying out the very best.

I sure hope so, I have been so disappointed with almost all the shaving soaps/creams that i have tried thus far, so i figured why not go for the one that the most people rave about. Yes, it wasnt cheap, but it will last me a very long time so I thought it was worth it. I have tried the 1805 and find that it does not agree with my face. I might try to trade it or sell it. I just received the MdC today and am going to shave with it tomorrow, and I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning again!

How many peanut butter sandwiches are you eating for dinner these days?

You know, I have tried all the expensive creams and soaps. Their novelty has worn off. I get a superb lather with the cheap, reliable and easy to find proraso line of products.

One strop and one brush? Still room for more AD

You will enjoy the MdC. Lathers easy. Holds a good amount of moisture through tout the shave especially in a scuttle

I use the Van Der Hagen in the green box. I buy it at Walgreen's 2 for $5. Works good for me.

Tried some of those HIGH ZOOT soaps and the cheap stuff gives me the best mileage.

I'm impressed!!

That's a good haul and I admire your taste...but I think you've only hit the beginning stages. Don't see any large Sheffield blades....yet!

I've had several, a 9/8 and 2 8/8. I decided to sell all three because I got them at very good prices. I tripled my money on each one. I would like a nice large celebrated FBU, I've got my eyes peeled lol. I have an 8/8 hollow grind WB, but it's going to take a lot of work so it's just sitting, waiting to be revived. That is my second strop, my first is the SRD Roo, I might not use the konyama just because it's almost like artwork!

Nice pile! You seem to be set. That MDC is an awesome investment for lather. Economically and quality-wise. You won't regret it, nor the razors you have chosen. Use the strop. Well done.
