A few years ago I stumbled onto Badger and Blade looking for advice on how to improve my shave. Roll on to present day and I've got boxes of creams, soaps and blades, tens of razors that I'll probably never use and am making new brushes on on monthly basis.
A few months ago my wife borrowed my fountain pen and I went on the hunt for a replacement. Again in a matter of months I have accumulated almost a dozen pens, all now say in front of me (inked) and with no current use!
The funny thing is, my second major razor purchase is still the one I use almost every day and yet I continue to buy them regularly. I now have more than enough lovely pens and yet those too I continue to buy. What is it that drives those of use with such disorders? The abundance of information on the internet hasn't helped, nor has the fact that I love a bargain, making it hard to turn down a nice razor or pen for a few pounds.
Why do we keep buying?
