I guess it would drive some folks crazy, especially if they have yet to find the combo that gives them fantastic shaves. I tried a few razors, a bunch of soaps and a seventy or so blades. It was great fun at first, but it became a bit of a chore after five years. That is fine, as many good products were identified - the best combination as well as plans B through Z. I learned a lot in the process, too, thanks in no small part to the folks here at The Shave Den.
My traditional wetshaving goals were to have a cool looking razor and affordable blades, the former because it is stylin' and the latter a reaction to sky-high Fusion cartridge prices. All the different products were tried solely with those ends in mind. But what about you folks who collect, accumulate or otherwise have lots of shaving stuff? Is it done to find a way to get a great shave? To experience using things that are the objects of a themed (barberiana / wetshaving) collection, with shaving a side effect? Just to try a big variety of things out of curiosity? Or something else? And how do events like No Variation November and No Buy July fit into all that?
Just curious, as NVN and NBJ seem to me like making a break with habit, and for many about exercising control and self-discipline. Kinda like giving up carts and electrics and learning traditional wetshaving.
Regardless, I hope you all enjoy your shaves too!
