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
