Need a Doctor

[Latherati]

Hello friends. I have been a long time lurker and have enjoyed reading many threads. Thanks to the helpful information on this forum I dove into the world of wet shaving a little over a year ago. Quite unexpectedly I have enjoyed every minute of the experience--from buying my first blade sampler to now trying every soap I can find. This leads me to my current revelation which I swore would never happen.

I have chronic SAD and BAD to the point that since I started I have acquired over 20 soaps and 6 brushes-- both boar and badger. I doubt RAD is far behind as I am seriously considering upgrading my Edwin Jagger 89 for an Above The Tie.

Although this is my first post, I highly doubt this will be my last as I enjoy this forum more and more each day.

You have come to the wrong place for help with that one, I have 32 soaps, 4 creams, 27 brushes, and 33 razors. And I have heard many tales of Acquisition Disorders even worse (or better) than mine.

RAD and SAD are pernicious maladies indeed. Sounds like your case is hopeless.

Welcome!

 

[Rudy Vey]

Welcome!

+1, I see nothing wrong with you, no need for a doctor.

The Doctor is in the house. Let me see....you're fine. Just Splash on extra aftershave and call me in the morning.

Welcome to Badger and Blade, Oink.

Yes, you have an addiction. I think it's too bad, but many others will say otherwise.

 

[BigFoot]

You are in fine company here. We will get you treatment.....no really we will.

 

[Cino]

Upon consultation with experts in the field, I'd advise i - ATT S2, AAA prn

Try this for thirty days, if no improvement is noted you may require more aggressive treatment. Post back. Some patients require a combination of razors and brushes. Don't worry, you've come to the right place.

Unless your spending more than you can afford, you're fine. I think many of us have been through a period where we were in pursuit of "the perfect shave" and purchased a bunch of products. Some still peruse that dream, yet others have reached a plateau that makes them happy. It's a great hobby that can fulfill a very practical need and will always beat a $4 cartridge.

If you have too many things in your den, pif them or bst them.

IMO you are just starting. (Lurking on this forum will only add fuel to the fire!!)

Buy two more soaps and call me in the morning!

I read "The Zen of Shaving" (see link in my signature) and after 40 years of bad road with the multiblade and electric shavers I jumped in the deep end of the retro shaving pool. Little did I know how deep it was going to get...

That is not "chronic." You have a low grade fever, at this point.

Double the soaps and add nine or ten more brushes. . . .THEN you have chronic symptoms. lol
