Thread: Is SAD (soap acquisition disorder) a thing.

Its true, even I have over 30 soaps. And all get used from time to time. Same with brushes, and razors.

Well, dang. All of a sudden I want to buy some more soaps. It's as catching as the flu!

I definitely suffer form SAD. The bonus is that I have not purchased any that I truly do not like. Makes my morning shave a bit more interesting...

Ive been knocking the number of soaps down lately. Well i added two durring christmas but ive emptied 3 sence then. Hoping to cut 8t down to a top 10 by the end of this year. Thats not still S.A.D. is it?

I had SAD I still suffer from the want to buy more, over the last 4 years I've bought or got gifted well over a hundred soaps. I think the use of the brush and soap is what keeps me going, cause I always got great shaves from my old DE that I shaved with for 40+ years.

So it's like any addiction, you never get rid f it , you just cope. I still want to try all the las test and greatest, but now I,m down to 4 steady members in my den, and really it's just 2. Tc

No matter how many soaps I have I think that I will always see something that I want to try.

It's only a disorder if you accept you have a problem with it.


Who says others opinions matter

Some have a collection of razors (straights, DE, SE, etc.; some have a collection of hones; some have a collection of shaving brushes; some have a collection of soaps and creams; and some have a collection of soap mugs, dishes, and scuttles. When you really know you are addicted is when you collect all of them.

Damn Ray, I guess I'm really Addicted. You had to point that out didn't you.

Well, Gerry, like the say, when you point your finger at someone else, you have several fingers pointing back at yourself. And I even left out collecting strops; as I only have three of them (so far).
