Like MPH, SWMBO thinks I'm obsessed having bought seven razors and five soaps. Man, I've got a long, long way to go!

That frog reference can be pretty accurate at times.

This kinda thread is good to show Mrs Razor how relatively sane you are compared to some of these poor crazy bastards. Oh, no offense meant to anyone of course. Anyway, she will be relieved.

Carl, you are being very quiet. I would guess your brush count is around 100 or so. Hah, probably more. Not to mention the various flavored Webers....is it 15? God knows how many soaps/creams you have.

You have ... Â£ per square inch, my boutique car wax collection pipped this collection by a country mile

And people think this shaving lark is expensive huh Paul!

Positively peanuts, compared ... but I can still remember sucking my teeth in at Â£30 (as was) for a pot of Dodo Juice whatever it was. What a giggle - that would have been about the cheapest wax in my collection when I called it day! That was my first foray into boutique waxes after using Collinite. Something like bagging your first tub of MDC if you're an Ingram's shaver, by way of comparison.

Very similar collectable hobbies in many respects: regular, boutique, artisan, vintage ...

Ahhh good old Colly 915, my first ever wax. Then I found Swissvax and Zymol :icon_eek:

Yep, Mrs Razor needs to see this....It's ambrosia for the Gods!

Great analogy there Paul.

I'm quite settled with RG55. I love the stuff!

I am not going to participate in this thread any further than just reading it. If I was to assemble my stash in one place I know I would be quite shocked and see items long forgotten about. I may also be tempted to work out the cost!
I will be content to just see you guys positing and think to myself " they need to get a grip and use some self restraint "

The problem is I have already 'pruned' the soaps I don't like. These are the ones that made the cut.
Now I need to separate the ones that I LOVE from the ones I LIKE.
Incidentally, SWMBO was out of the house when I took these...:angel:

Christ almighty. That is a lot of software!

Mr_Smartepants · Sunday March 8, 2015

I haven't even laid out my hardware yet...

NotTheStig · Sunday March 8, 2015

All my stuff was organised about a year ago into one or two places. Now with more being acquired I and my wife have put things here, there and everywhere.
I can however show a few shots of the so called museum pieces - stuff I may use but not before other newer stuff is used up. I'm sure a few things will be there for decades.

Pics to follow shortly

Carl hasn't posted because I think he is still counting them...

Bechet · Sunday March 8, 2015

Carl has posted photos before - they are in here somewhere. I certainly am not going to take all my stuff down and spread it out - just to have to put it all back! Suffice it to say - I have lots of everything - lots and lots, quite a collection - but then, no SWMBO to object, as one surely would!

Maybe I need to board over the bath - that would give me oodles of new storage space! Good idea, Bechet!

pjgh · Sunday March 8, 2015

What with the pllethora of scented deodorants today, baths are over-rated.

pjgh · Sunday March 8, 2015

You must have a good frag stash, though ... yes?

Apart from christening the new bath after I remodeled the bathroom, I've not had a bath in several decades. Ughhhh!
