I do NOT have a problem!

[hdhaskell]

I'll admit it: I have about five hundred DE blades in my bathroom drawer. It happened quite innocently . . . my local barber supply shop was moving, and they put the whole store on clearance, and, well, doesn't stainless steel last forever? And how could I not? And now I have a 5-10 year supply of razor blades, which makes me feel a little bit silly.

Only, just this morning, I was paying bills, and I noticed, even after throwing out all the broken ones, I still have at least 50 pens and pencils lying around. Which has got to be well more than a lifetime supply, because I'm certain that I've had some of these since grade school (back when I actually used them all the time.) And you couldn't buy those pens for the $20 I spent on my blades . . . so either I have two problems, or none at all.

I won't even mention T-shirts.

The first step in any recovery is recognizing the problem. Congratulations!

To help you deal with the guilt, I'd be more than glad to take some off your hands

 

[Defend Tacoma]

You're fine. All seems to be in order!

 

[dpmtherrien]

Yeah, don't worry about it. Who knows what else you'll have a lifetime supply of.

 

[DFrancis]

You're just well stocked up for when the zombie apocalypse occurs.

 

[mretzloff]

Your real problem is that you only have 500

 

[brianw]

I certainly see no problem

At one point I thought 500 blades was a lot of blades. I definitely built up a large collection so don't feel so bad. Once you hit 5 digits, however, you probably have a problem.

You're fine. All seems to be in order!

Yep.

What kind of blades did ya get?

 

[jakespoppy]

What kind of blades did ya get?

Or rather, what kind of blades do you not have yet?

Or rather, what kind of blades do you not have yet?

Yes just to be safe you should have a hundred of most if not all varieties...the Noahs Ark of shaving blades!

 

[Omnichron]

no.. I don't see a problem. it's pretty normal.

 

[jonjparr]

Problem, what problem? It's entirely normal to stock pile razor blades and have over a hundred shaving creams.

 

[hdhaskell]

Ummmm . . . Dorco and Merkur.

I actually get a good shave with both of them . . . I think the sharpest blades are probably best left to people who have perfected their technique.

 

[hdhaskell]

And I just went back to the same store . . . they're clearing out their VDH at 50c a puck. I was able to avoid buying any, although, come to think of it, I could've bought a lifetime supply for about $20.

When I first read this post, I inadvertantly thought you indicated that you had 500 "razors". I would have been really impressed/awed..........

No problem here!
