What is your acquisition disorder of choice?

The software. Soaps and creams. I have a pretty big stockpile. Haven't bought anything since a trip to Dusseldorf last March, though.
EDIT: Make that since a trip to Madrid last October :-S And that's how the addiction works...

Definitely soaps and Aftershaves.

Don’t tempt me to buy more as I’ll need some therapy to conquer this disorder! lol I’ve already ordered 100 more GSB blades I confess!
I've found it's any interest in purchasing any item I don't NEED but simply WANT. So many things I don't need but find with just a little application of interest - want. There's a saying us older folk can be manipulated into buying things just on exposure. What they don't say is the manipulator can often be ourselves.
You've been warned by someone who should find a twelve-step for such things, don't do as I have done.
Definitely soaps. I have too many and am looking for a couple more. I guess I should say aftershaves as well, as I tend to buy a matching aftershave with each soap. But the soap is more interesting to me than the aftershave.
I started with soaps and now definetly are razors

My disorder is straights, brushes, and strops.
I'm of the mind: If there isn't an aftershave made to go with the shaving soap, someone missed the boat! How can you be assured of enjoying the day's shave hours later? It's not only the faceturbation, it's the fleeting whiff of fragrance too that makes the day!
Soaps are my weakness. I only use Personna blades after a couple years of experimenting when I started wet shaving. I also tend to buy razors sparingly, usually when something rare comes up as I have what I like. There are so many new bases and scents constantly that I can't keep myself from ordering new soaps, always trying to find better performance.

I'm trying real hard to stay away from the aftershaves. I just got my SAD under control lol.
I've still got AD for brushes & razors. My SAD is tamed now that I've found Ethos.
When I realized that I had more brushes than days in two weeks; and at least seven of those were really high quality, satisfied my every wish, then I stopped needing brushes.
Razors, oh dear, now that's possibly a boat anchor chained to my legs and ready to sink the effort!
Blades and creams. So far I’ve resisted, but I keep finding myself looking for the best deal.
Haha! So true. That's why it is a disorder. I don't need any more brushes, & certainly not any more razors. But that doesn't stop me.
I suppose the question is, do I want to be stopped?
Lately..vintage Avon full in decanter. A fair bit harder here in Australia as we don't do estate sales etc and most second hand shops charge a bomb for ' rare' bottles. Still there is always overpaying on the bay lol
I've ALMOST got my son ready to try that lovely Omega you sent me.... At least he's only using DE razors! He's the only one of his friends...

Remember to forget me!
No disorders here. I have stocked up well on blades, as I never ever want to go back through the kind of blade drought that I faced several times in the past. I don't own more than I could realistically expect to use though. I'm in my mid 40s and have around 500 blades, which is enough for maybe 20 years.
