Where does the money actually go in your hobby?

Razors, initially ... then brushes ... then soaps.

My collection is more a collection for the sake of completion than for shaving. I became fascinated with the 1912 and collected every variant I could find and although I have used them all, would only reach for one of maybe 5 or 6 that would be used regularly. That collection spreads to maybe 150 razors. I have a pretty complete collection of Gillette Tech variants, although nowhere near all sets. That would account for probably another 50 razors. So, if we estimate £15 per razor, there's maybe £3000 in razors!

Brushes and soaps are nowhere near as obsessive :)
 
Smellies, by a country mile, but this is something I've been 'into' since getting my first bottles of Kouros, Antaeus and Aramis 900 back in the very early 80s.

I still browse Basenotes and Fragrantica to see what's new and then go to First in Fragrance to get samples. Some of the ones I've tried have been £10 per ml.

If money was no object, I'd easily blow £20k on stuff that's tickled my fancy down the years without blinking.
