Get married...I started into SR's about 9 months ago. Today I assessed my SR collection and those on order. Total is 37, that's about 1 new SR every 9 days!
Within the next couple of months (if I order no more), I will have 4 M7DS's plus a small assortment of other SR's. My shave cave is space challenged. SR's are now taking up some of my office space.
I'm single, never married and no children - that I know of. I can easily afford these SR's but there needs to be an end to this SRAD madness.
What can I do?

No. Bevel work is 95% of total effort, 4.5% to finish shave ready and 0.5% maintenance on strops & pasted strops IME.I was wondering does there ever come a time when ones collection gets so big that they're no longer are able to keep up with the maintenance required to keep them in tip top condition?
I had that problem a few years ago. I got up to around 150 straights. I changed tack and decided to focus on quality, not quantity. I've managed to reduce the collection down to around 40 but I've managed to pick up some really nice pieces.
John! If you are down to 40 you must have gotten rid of some nice stuff.
Yeah, I did but patience has rewarded me with razors like a Mappin Lancet Edge, a Thier Issard hand hammered by Pierre Thiers, an Iwasaki, a Dovo with the real MOP handle, a Juan Volmer Palmera etc etc.
