BAD is certainly my biggest vice in this hobby, but as others have said, I'll go through phases of AD. Right now, I'm just in love with Italian Soaps. Can't seem to buy enough of 'em, even though I have more than enough to last me several years. I probably have enough blades to last me for a decade or more, but I still want more of the ones I love (Gillette Yellow, Gillette Black, Iridium, Polsilver & Med Preps). Thanks to Jody, I'm set on Voskhods!
Last night I was back to shaving with Personna Labs after a 5 day run of Derbys. I was enjoying it so much that I'm now really fighting the urge to buy another pack of 100 Labs.
you know you might as well just buy the blades you like and sleep better knowing you have them coming your way
I keep picking up blades. If they stop making razors, brushes, soaps, etc... I can get bye. I can learn to make my own soap. I have enough brushes and razors for a lifetime. But if a great blade gets discontinued or the shavacolypse comes and nobody is making DE blades, I need a lifetime supply stockpiled. So... the blades keep coming in and getting stored away.
