So what's the problem? If your having fun carry on my son!View attachment 24048 View attachment 24049 View attachment 24050 Ok
So who came up with the bright idea that Straight Razor Wet Saving was cheaper in the long term than disposables, I think it was a straight Razor Restorer or Honer, Simples.
Can this be healthy after 4 short months. The picture is hiding the draw with 19 SR's and then the box of wrapped 98 SR's going to my Honer or the 20 he already has and no i'm not lying. Best is I still can't have a shave without slicing my face but boy I'm having FUN.
That's Just the problem, I can't stop but how many razors can one man use? Problem is each is individual because they are all minus say 6, SH so have been looked after in different ways and lovingly restored by my friendly honer.Am i obsessed or is it an obsession? Or maybe a possession, i could be possessed lmaoSo what's the problem? If your having fun carry on my son!
It's probably just an obsession but I don't think you have OCD because everything is mixed together and not sorted into brushes, razors, soaps creams, ect......now that would drive me mad!!That's Just the problem, I can't stop but how many razors can one man use?

What can I say? You have jumped in with two feet, and everything else.If I'm honest this is the wrong place to try to curve your buying of shaving stuff.
Are you having so much fun buying shaving stuff or shaving?I think I can guess which one it is
I went through a phase where I wanted to buy everything that other people were buying. There always is somebody with the best razor or brush "ever" and I wanted to have one too I thought I was persuing the best shave ever but deep down I was enjoying buying the stuff more, stuff I didn't need anyway because they were not making my shaving any better nor easier.
I have recently started straight razor shaving and I have only two decent razors and that is plenty for what I need. I'm focusing on the technique. One day, when I'm ready, I will reward myself with a beauty.
Good luck and welcome to TSR
Nice going - clearly one man's obsession is the next man's ambition.
All I would need to complete the set is a larger house and a (younger, better looking) more tolerant wife.
Keep on having fun!
Spot on!#YOLO. That is all.
SR shaving saves a flipping fortune over the cost of cartridges. Here is how it works.
1. Buy a good vintage Sheffield or Solingen SR. Cost around £ 20-30
2. Get it honed. Cost around £15
3. Buy a Palmolive stick and boar brush. cost around £10.00
Buy a strop or piece of bridal leather from Ebay. Cost about £10. Total for years of shaving with occasional refresh around £70.
The rest is just us as humans buying for the sake of it to own shiny things and that my friend is the lovely part of the hobby. Sod the £70.00. Get out there and buy shiny stuff and enjoy every bloody second of it. You are a long time dead.
#YOLO. That is all.
You only live once.Explain YOLO please
