What's to much (or the right amount) wardrobe?

Also, I like to work off of wish lists.

There are a few things out there in my mind that I want, and I tend to add things to my mental wishlist prior to buying.

I think the best part is the deeper into this, the less things appeal.

Is it that you care about your outward appearance or that you care about the quality of the clothing you buy? I think there's a difference. Most guys would probably shop at Gap, J.Crew, BR, etc., and not give a second thought to where or how their clothing is made. I think the majority of us here and on other denim forums value provenance and quality above all else, which is what lead us to more expensive brands. Of course, being able to afford these things is another thing entirely. If I were in my early 20's and just starting out it's highly unlikely i'd be buying from any of the brands we talk about, or at the very least, I might only own 1 pair of jeans versus 15.

I agree though that the more you have the more you want. Like any hobby it becomes a slow downward spiral and something that's hard to step away from if you don't control yourself. I remember doing the same thing with vintage DE safety razors back in 2010. I went hog wild and bought a ton of shaving gear that I didn't need. 12 or so safety razors later I decided to call it quits because I simply had too much. I still have all my razors and plan on keeping them but I guess at the time it was the thrill of finding a 70 year old razor in pristine condition that kept me going. I'm sure my son might appreciate them when he's old enough to shave.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who went through a DE safety razor phase back 6-7 years ago. I still have a few nice razors and nice brushes that I'll keep forever. But all of the fancy creams and aftershaves are all gone.

I still have my shave soaps and some creams, but i'm sure the creams have all congealed by now. the shave soaps will probably outlive me since they reside in airtight containers. glad I didn't go crazy on the badger brushes. I have one and that's all I need. 12 razors is overkill though. I'm sure I could still turn a profit on most of them since vintage Gillette's seem to be harder to find in places other than Fleabay, but the collector in me will hold onto them. I also still have my Personna red 100 pk that I bought 6 yrs ago.

I saw that Rabbit Hoke and Put a hold on DE razors quickly!
One razor, Poraso soap, 100 pack of razors and done

I haven't been clean shaven in about 3 years but before that it was feather blades in a 1954 Gillette red tip and some Poraso. If I pulled that stuff out my girlfriend would probably kill me.

Feathers are too inconsistent for me. Some are awesome and some seem cut by a road grader. But they're not that bad for 100 at West Coast Shaving.

I'm a Gillette fat handle tech guy, but have gone back to my Merkur because it's a little more aggressive

I went through a straight razor phase. Nearly hacked my entire face off in the process...
