Good for you! I'm in the same boat with all my drums. Discovering wet shaving has become something that has stopped me from collecting drums. I enjoy it immensely, takes up little room and it's a lot cheaper!
My wife lovingly thinks I'm nuts over my growing collection!! How about you?

We should jam sometime!
The missus reminds me of my nutdom a lot. I just shrug and ask how much the gardening stuff for our new house cost (and then duck before she can make contact). It brings her joy. A few options for shaving goods brings me joy. My joy costs less and I smell good. Balance is bliss.
You just have to combine guitars and shaving somehow. A concept record about the history of DE razors for instance. Now THAT would probably be a sign that you've gone over the edge, perhaps.
Nice SG in your picture, by the way.
"Keeps him out of trouble" is probably a familiar refrain.My lovely wife believes that ’traditional’ wet shaving is the least expensive of many hobbies I have had!
I got her a gigantic wardrobe with place for oodles of shoes and clothing and a gigantic mirror.
We are renovating the bathroom soon (tm) and maybe I will get some more brushes and soap when I have more space with new furniture.
My wife uses a totally cheap TTO for her legs, this almost causes me physical pain.

At least she uses a DE. My wife still uses a disposable. I can’t get her to try a DE. To scary for her. But at least I got her a using a Gillette Guard now instead of an overpriced girl disposable razor.
My girlfriend uses the King C. Gillette cartridge razor which she purchased when she bought me my King C. Gillette DE razor. I keep suggesting she try the DE.
My wife is indifferent; we have separate sinks in the MBR. She leaves mine alone, and I leave hers alone.
My wife doesn't say much about my hobby nor do I with hers. I still have a long way to go to match what she spends on her antique cut glass collection, purse collection and all of her makeup. I show her all new razors, brushes, soaps etc so she can't ask where did that come from.
TTO, that is totally ok. My wife uses - god forbid - a cartridge … yeah yeah, I know I know, but I love her anyway.I got her a gigantic wardrobe with place for oodles of shoes and clothing and a gigantic mirror.

My wife loves it and hates it at the same time.
She loves it because she hates facial hair and loves it when i am clean shaven. And she knows that you get much closer, smoother shaves now than I ever did with a cartridge razor.
On the other hand, yesterday morning she texted me to ask me if I had spent $200 on something, to make sure it wasn't a fraudulent charge. When I texted back that yes, I had spent that money, she texted back 'another razor?' I could hear the exasperation in her voice just reading the text!
I promised to pay for it with sales, so watch the BST over the weekend. I'm going to have some good razors up for sale!

Do you want to clue us in so we can get in line?
Edit: within the Terms of Use, of course. I think it's permissible to say: I'm going to end up selling this or that razor, isn't it? without pricing, etc.?
I haven't made the final decisions yet.
Having said that, I'm pretty sure there will be at least three straight razors, one of which is an excellent starter, the other two of which are just great straights, period. For DEs, the most likely to be on the chopping block might be my beloved Pils razor. Thinking hard about a set of Karves and maybe even a Wolfman. Depends on my mood, lol. Keep your eyes peeled.
Collecting shaving products won’t hurt or break the bank. You should see what other people collect like Transformers figures
I have all my Transformers action figures from the '80s. They're all in really good shape and packed away in a closet. Stars Wars and G.I. Joe action figures as well.
I'm impatiently waiting for two razors I ordered from Canada the other day to get here. I'm not actually planning on buying another DE until next year. But a Karve Outlander is on my finalist list.... that or a Blutt... or God forbid, a Rocnel Sailor. <eg>
I plan to buy just one modern DE next year and be done. These two on the way and my Flat Bottom Tech scratched my Vintage Gillette itch. I love the Flat Bottom Tech.... it's such a nice razor.
Married 43 years and that's been my take on things from day one and long before. Save for large purchases where we need some common ground, she buys what she wants, I buy what I want. Money hasn't been an issue for us. She had a career, I had a career. We have joint accounts and, obviously, separate retirement accounts. Life is so much easier for us than so many who live lives of quiet desperation doing what they're told by outsiders and wokeism.
