I am right at that same point in my life as well, and I am going to go out on a limb to say I think we have a problem that can be simplified as a Shopaholism. I'm not saying its something that effects all of us on the forum. However those of us that sometimes joke we have aquastion disorders for one thing or another should look deep at our spending and the drivers and be honest. It is a clear form of addiction for some of us. Now don't get me wrong i'm not pointing fingers, i'm saying everyone should decide for themselves. In the mean time i'll be selling my sons toys to buy more soap

I don't want to buy any more razors since they're so hard to sell on the BST. I have several listed. It took me ages to sell some soaps as well. I also collect old vacuum tubes and they actually go up in value.
I'm seriously put off buying more shaving stuff - only the top tier stuff keeps anything like its value and I'm not into collecting vintage.

I've been pretty much buying monthly for almost two years now, and I've only recently felt I don't need to do that anymore. I've got stuff that works now. I guess it's that need to feed the hobby that compels us to keep buying constantly.

This exactly. I've realised recently that I've lost so much money as some stuff I want to sell just isn't going to go, and the losses have really mounted up. Makes you realise how much you lose out long term if you're not using everything you buy.

So, the same as any other hobby. If you look at it as "shaving" then yeah, loosing a fortune. If it is a hobby, then is a loss not normal and acceptable?

It's a good point, but I guess I'm saying that, as with any hobby, you can reach a point where you've experienced the very heights of it and you feel you can be more relaxed about how you go about it going forward.
I accepted the losses a long time ago, but of course not being able to resell stuff or taking a big loss never feels great. I realise that's on me for buying things I didn't keep a hold of.

I've slowed but still buying. No space for soaps so now looking to complete sets or look for other post shave solutions.
Yes I've lost money selling stuff on. But then I'm not in it to make money. If I can get a small amount for a few soaps then it's better than them sitting there not being used and I can put it towards something I will use. Also I've had so many generous gifts from people in the short time I've been in this hobby, I don't mind paying it forward.
