Which acquisition disorder hits you hardest?

[FarmerTan]

My weakness is vintage Avon aftershave. I now only buy it in the wild, but honestly, I cannot justify buying any more of it.

It is usually just so inexpensive, and GOOD smelling that I am willing to risk the wrath of the War Department and buy more. But I'm not exaggerating by much when I say that when she finally snaps and hits me over the head with an Avon decanter she will be found innocent of all charges!

Aftershave. Definitely aftershave. I've bought eight new bottles this month alone, and I already had 130+ bottles.

Just don't show it to my wife--I think she's in denial!

The BATF may be by. You need a license to possess that much alcohol. LOL

Soaps for sure. I have a handful of razors and brushes, but I never fell down those rabbit holes. I'm not sure if fragrances are considered part of the wetshaver's arsenal, but if so, that is what I have the most of. By a loooong shot.

For me, oddly enough, sample packs. Every other shave is a new experience. And with both razors, each blade in each, it's cool to see how they act. And then with samples of soaps. I can hoard all I want when the sizes are so small!
And it keeps me away from the rabbit hole that smells of cloves, spiced rum, and the leaves of the bay laurel. I could spend paychecks chasing the perfect bay rum without blinking if it weren't for the wife, and kids, and mortgage, and gas, and motorcycle parts, and...

Soaps and brushes. I have 35 brushes but use every one of them in rotation. However, I have over 50 soaps many of which sit unopened. I found a soap I liked and then ended buying two or three of them "in case they get discontinued." That worked to my advantage since I have four remaining tallow based AoS soaps and seven Haslinger tallow soaps.

Every couple years i get a small AD of some. I think the last 10 years had a huge marketplace surge of just about everything.

I was assured wet shaving is cheaper. Well, that’s fake news! In less than six months I’ve acquired new disorders for soaps, blades, razors. The only thing that I don’t feel compelled to get more of (yet) is brushes; I’ve got a badger and a synthetic.

 

[ukobke]

Soaps.

Please show pictures of your 130+ bottles. Would love to see it...and yes, to convince the wife I am hardly started.

Hum, not sure. 3 months into wet shaving, I have 5 DE's, 727 blades with another 100 on the way, 4 brushes (2 boar, 1 horse, 1 synthetic), 9 soaps/creams, 8 AS.
Next purchase will probably be a badger brush, or another razor, or some more blades... Lol Can't decide, love all of it.

That’s a lot of bottles.

 

[razorhead63]

For me it’s blades. Got almost 1000 of them and still want more.

 

[jamesearthdrum]

I fear I have developed a yearly restraint disorder.

Yeah, luckily they're not that expensive. I just want to try them all. Even if I know that a blade will suck, I need to try it. And those that I like, I buy 100 of them... [emoji86]

I stash bottles all over the house and my office. The gig would be up with my wife if she saw them all in one place...

I was in the early restraint last year, and I cowboy only for replacement. My disorders were fairly modest, but I did a lot of damage to my wallet with just soaps, creams, and aftershaves. Brush, bowl, and Fatboy are constants. Now I am rotating through a closet full of one-shot wonders, while I keep to my regulars:

--49-year-old Floris brush, up for rtensdgering again this year
--Utilemud red and violet lather bowl
--Fatboy
--Six soaps
--Three creams
--Three aftershaves

And I am happy.
