[emoji23]My wife can relate.
As said above, try to slow down and saviour what you've got. It will also give you time to find out what you really like and thus give you input to your future acquisitions. When i started I bought very many soaps that I in retrospective find to be horrible. It could have been avoided.Well I think i've scrounged everything within a 10 mile radius of me so if I want anymore I either have to order online or find a local shave/barber supply shop. Oh and wait till I start on the straight razors... Thats a whole other bunch of goodies to get

Going into straights is a one way trip with no return. The pleasure is great an d only topped by the potential cost if you give in for SAD. I own more than 50 straight razors and had to force myself to stop.You sound like me when I first got into traditional shaving. And yes, getting into straights is like setting the reset button on your ADs. I jumped into them this week...I asked myself...what have I gotten into?
I found the best way to stop me from acquiring anything is to tell my wife what I like and she informs me what we need to get for the kids and that kills any impulse I might have. haha
Soo... I've only been wet shaving for barely more days than I have fingers and I am constantly impulse buying EVERYTHING. I must have bought something new almost every day for the past week and a half whether it be local or online. It started with my first WCS order of an EJ DE89 Barley , a blade sampler, proraso white tub and C.O. Bigelow cream, along with some old spice AS and a VDH deluxe kit that I already had. That was about a week and a half ago. Since then I have aquired (impulsively) ANOTHER EJ DE89, this time in plain chrome. Why? Because shiny... thats why lol. It gave me the "Ooo Ahhh" feeling even tho I have only used the DE89 I have, 3 times... I have also picked up Brut splash, Penaud Clubman/VIBR, Aqua Velva sport/musk, VDH Luxery soap, VDH badger brush, VDH TTO razor and a new brush I won here on the forum (Semogue 820). I want EVERYTHING I can get my hands on. My kit is growing faster than I can even use any of it! I even asked my GF to get me MORE shaving stuff for my birthday next month... Is this normal? What have I gotten myself in to? lol please tell me I'm not the only one...
