I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I'm slowly loosing my mind. Lately I find concentrating on anything virtually impossible. I have this urge and I can feel myself giving into it. Obsessing about it. The problem is, if I give to it and succome, fulfilling my need, the relief and satisfaction will only last briefly before the compulsion to do it again will start nipping at my mind. It's all having a detrimental effect on my professional and private life. My wife doesn't understand me and the boss keeps looking at me in a funny way. It's an addiction. I realise it's irrational as I already have three Merks and a Parker but, as much as I tell myself I really don't need another razor, I know life won't be complete with a Muhle R-41.
I need help. please help!...anyone!

I can relate entirely.
At work I check shaving forums multiple times a day , at home I sit around refreshing B&B ( pretending I'm working ).
My nerdy computer game obsessed workmates think I'm the strange one subscribing to Shaving Forums.
I find myself sitting up at 2am writing guides on identifying Gillette razors.
In 2 1/2 months I've accumulated: Boxed Aristocrat #16, Boxed#21, Boxed Fatboy, unboxed Fatboy, Boxed Slim, unboxed Slim, British Red Tip Superspeed, a Knack and 4 Techs. More razors than I'll ever need in multiple lifetimes.
I've been seriously thinking about getting rid of most of it and just keep the keepers, but even today, in a moment of frustration I left work and visited about 6 stores to see if I could find more razors.
Found myself a nice Parat.......ARGHHH another razor that I don't really "need"
At least I've stopped buying techs. I've never used the ones I've got and they seem to be the most common model I can find......
Welcome to the madness !!!!!!!

Give in, LB. Don't fight it, enjoy it. You only live once, you can't take it with you, and because there are 365 shaves in a year (most years), you still have over 300 razors to purchase. Good luck and God speed!
The decision has already been made. You should definitely savor the anxiety, as bizarre as that may sound. That's part of the perverse experience. Because you are right, as soon as you've gotten it into your steamy little mitts, you're going to want something else. Disease with no cure. Sorry.
hehehe, mate you should look at me in the tube, looking at guys shaves!!
and trying to figure out wheter or not they wetshave (is pretty easy telling with older man).
Sometimes I catch myself on the verge on going and telling them how rubbish their shave is hehe.
