... Strop Acquisition Disorder....
Did you really stop buying razors?
... I'm about 60 razors in at this point, and I've finally found one that gives me a better shave than my Mühle R41. At nearly the same time, I was lucky enough to score a superb Rooney Finest brush. Honestly, I can say that since I got those two things, my desire to acquire new gear has subsided greatly, but I'm sincerely hoping my RAD doesn't come back. Also, finding the brush and razor to "end" my ADs was not an inexpensive ordeal.
A quick glance at my ebay purchase history shows 18 razors in the past 30 days.
Answer to the question, on how to stop RAD.
Stop getting advice from those who have RAD!!!
Would you get advice from a current alcoholic on how to stop drinking alcohol?
Most people here are enablers. Very few exceptions.

If you are serious about stopping your RAD, then stop logging onto B&B, and stay away from eBay.
Agree with the final point.You're fine. I started DE shaving in February. I now have 22 vintage Gillettes, 6 Gems, 1 Schick, 2 Durham Duplex and 4 straights. I have bought/sold/traded 32 others, but who's counting!
Once you get what you're looking for, RAD subsides. For me, it was one of each major Gillette type, then Gems.
good luck with thatFor me I make sure I finish the cream or two I'm using before I buy another one, it takes a while sure (that stick of arko just won't quit!) but it works.
