AD Support groups?

[jasigler]

When I first joined this site, I was told of an unfortunate condition called "Acquisition Disorder" that ran rampant amongst wet shavers. As my shaving became more enjoyable, I laughed and told myself that I would stick with one razor, one blade, and maybe a cream or two and a soap that I'd really like to try so as not to shake things up too much and keep it economical. Then last night I was browsing the B/S/T forum and a few websites and thought "oh, wouldn't that razor be better" and "oooohh, I'd like to try a soap" and "straight razors, huh? I bet that'd be fun". Now I have a problem.

Are there AD support groups? Like a 12 step program that I can enroll myself in before I wear out the 'check-out' button trying new creams and soaps and razors? Can't I just stick with what already works? Its just shaving, right?

Glad to see somethings have not changed. Medics are still screwballs. Funny stuff Doc!

Oh, you can find plenty of support for your acquisition disorder around here. Start by going here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/forumdisplay.php/26-Shopping-and-deals

You sir, are what we can an 'enabler'

 

[JayEddie]

I said you can find support for your disorder. I said nothing about your recovery!

I totally get you. I'm itching to try some vintage razors, get new blades to compare to what I use now (Feathers and Astras), and I'm about to go B&BW and The Body Shop and take a look at what they got. My excuse? I need better soap/cream. I'm sticking to it!

And by "support" he meant "encouragement"

It's catchy....I'm in the same boat !
Started with EJ89, then had to get birth year flair tip and red tip.
Today I ordered a Feather DS-2... what's next ???

Recognition is the first step.

I also think this is how the 3017 and sabbatical threads started: too much stuff in the den, not enough faces and/or time to use it all up.

AD support group at B&B? That is like going to a frat party and asking if they have any herbal tea.

i feel your anxiety. i can't stand those big brown trucks going past my house and not stopping.

 

[dpmtherrien]

I don't believe that you'll find any support or help from this bunch of enablers.

The thread name alone is hilarious!

This also is hilarious: "Struit insidias lacrimis cum femina plorat."

Thank you Sir. And thanks for noticing.

Let me relate, I recently told SWMBO that I had enough soap and then two days later I ordered 2 from B&M and 3 from Mikes, guess I better be the one to pick up the mail

There was a support group, but they all went shopping and we haven't seen them since.
