I'm still in the 'Buying for the sake of having it' stage of the hobby. I can't help myself. I try to resist buying soaps and stuff when I know that I have more than I will ever need on my shelf. I try not to buy but sometimes the urge to own something over rules the need to own it. I probably have 400 blades, 3 brushes, 4 razors and approx 10 soaps. In the grand scheme of things I know it isn't a lot but to anyone outside the hobby it flippin well is a lot of stuff. Where are you in your journey?
My wife is scathing in her response to my "collection". "What man needs 3 razors and 5 brushes?" She's continually asking. When I show her photos of some of the shaving dens where guys like @Nishy and @Bechet have dozens of razors, brushes, soaps, etc, she is convinced that we're all gay. I just put on a sun dress and flounce out the door.I'm still in the 'Buying for the sake of having it' stage of the hobby. I can't help myself.

I haven't showed the other half other den pictures, simply because one day I might be at that level. Your giving her a loaded gun to point at your head!My wife is scathing in her response to my "collection". "What man needs 3 razors and 5 brushes?" She's continually asking.

In my opinion, the urge to buy is just a phase, like in any new passion once the novelty gone, the urge to buy will settle.
