    Default Help, I have "Acquisition Disorder"

    I need help, I've asked several MD friends of mine if there is a cure, and they have all just shaken there heads and said, "I'm sorry." I'm fairly new to this wet shaving thing, and I fear this is serious! Is there a cure, can I be helped, must I just give in to my purchasing desires? What is the answer? My wife is very understanding, but I fear her patience is wearing thin.

    Man, I feel your pain. How about this: anytime you think you're about to send SWMBO over the edge with that razor you just purchased, have it sent to me. I won't tell her, I promise!

    Keep a gift card to her favorite store in your wallet to use in case she starts to blow from razor overload

    Just wait til the non-shaving related aquisition disorders kick in. For example, I had a small cufflink collection that I sold off a few years ago, keeping only one pair. Never regretted it. That is until I came to SRP and was enabled by some of the members here. I currently have 15 pair and another 5 pair on the way from ebay, not counting the three safety razors, two straights and some shaving soap samples also in the mail.DAMN YOU SRP!!!

    This is to remind all of you that we DO have a 12 step program for the dreaded RAD and other AD's here at SRP. Only problem is that is doesn't work.

    Have fun.

    So where are you priorities? What's more important acquiring shaving gear or your wife? Har har.
