Which AD Do You Not Have?

So far, I don't have a shaving brush AD. But that's only because I can't afford the Simpson brushes that I really like the look of.

That is the same reason I don't have SBAD

Blades. I have settled on Personna Med Preps. With an occasional Feather. Can't say I'm immune as to razors, soaps, creams, brushes, or scuttles

Razors, blades, soaps, cremes, sticks, balms and aftershaves. I have what I need and only replenish as required.

I am not into straits and creams.....well atm anyway

I am not attracted to some of the "legacy" items you sometimes see offered for sale. I have no trouble believing that a fine shaving soap made decades ago might surpass some of the current offerings on the market, but I don't want to buy, say, a tuck of vintage 1943 Gillette blades on an auction site. With my luck, they'd be so damn good that it would spoil for me the blades I can count on being available.

Somehow I don't feel the same about the hardware. A beautiful, well made, masterpiece razor from the 1930s is an extremely desirable item -- I'd probably use Feather blades and some Stirling shaving soap to utilize it though.

I have at least 12 years worth of blades, DE and twinblade carts, maybe 8 cream tubes if I counted them, 1 cream tub, 3 balms or milks, 4 containers of Old Spice splash (mixed Indian and vintage), maybe a handful of razors new and vintage. At this point I have only 2 soap pucks or tubs, and 3 soap sticks, so SAD is what I almost lack.
Bath and body soaps include maybe 12 mass-market deodorant bars, 6 olive oil handmades, rose, and half a dozen lavenders.
If I lose my job and quickly run down the money, I will have personal hygiene supplies for as long as I still have a warm place to stay.

Brushes. I'm completely happy with my two brushes.

I've got my Omega Pro 49 and another as a back up. It's been my daily driver for 2 years now and it's all ever use.

I don't have blades (I liked the first one I tried), razors (I have enough), or brushes (I might buy a second brush eventually to have a backup). I like window shopping for soaps, creams, and AS. However, I haven't bought any shaving stuff since November.

I really don't have RAD. I bought several razors trying to find what I liked best, and pretty much run the board from EJ89 to R41 and Futur. I am waiting on a Wolfman, but I'm not looking for any more. I can see why people would get into the vintage searching, but it just isn't my thing.

I have a mild case of SBAD. I thought I was done with the couple I had, but I kept having to try something different, then something different, and then they really start to look nice on the shelf. I only have a half dozen, but I'm always kind of window shopping for the next one.

I have a bad case of SSAD. It seems like I'm always ordering one before the last one even hits the mailbox. My wife is starting to think I'm wierd. She's right, but I hate to give her more ammo.

I might have a soap AD but I just chalk it up to there is just too many to try

Blades: I found that I liked Astra SPs early on. I have several hundred.... Is that an AD or just planning ahead?

No AD for creams, brushes, blades, aftershaves and colognes, or vintage gear. In each of those categories (well, other than vintage gear, of which I have none) I've got a couple of things that work for me, and I stick to them.

I do, however, suffer from mild SAD. I'm also always on the lookout for interesting or high-quality razors, although wouldn't say it was AD as such - I don't scramble to buy whatever the newest offerings are, and haven't bought a razor in well over 6 months.

I also like the look of many custom brushes, but have never felt compelled to order one.

I could say technically I don't any AD related to pre or post shave products, but I just found a source for pinaud, fine and a lot more AS's so.. That might be happening soon

I don't really have brush AD - I have one badger and two boars. I also don't have razor AD - I have a Muhle R89 and bought the R41 head and a Maggard handle. I'm happy with those.

I do have soap, aftershave, and blade ADs, though.

I start with everything AD, but it fades as I settle on favorites.

I have a relatively small brush collection (8) but use the SOC almost all the time. I've had quite a cream collection, but I currently have TWO - and almost regret it every time I don't use the Castle Forbes.

I'm down to two blades and have enough for many years. Two scuttles but only use one and don't lust for another. I have 6 razors and use the same one 350 days a year.

But I will read a good review of a soap or cream I have yet to try and then that itch will need to be scratched.

I will not buy any pre shave product.

I have not been diagnosed with RAD, SBAD, and ASAD. I have full blown everything else acquisition disorder - EEAD.

RAD is pretty much it for me.

No AD for brushes, razors, aftershave soaps or creams.
