Upgraditis

There's a term that folks in the home espresso world like to use. It's 'upgraditis.' It's the obsessive need to get something bigger and better. For me the bug has hit with my shaving experiment. They have a term too, it's called 'aquisition disorder.'
First one is a Best Badger Brush from Crabtree and Evelyn made by Edwin Jagger. I read a post online about it and absolutely needed it. Needed it so bad that I was willing to go to the mall on Black Friday to get it. Got 20% off. Woo hoo! Much softer than the Tweezerman brush.
Next upgrade was a Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip razor. It's from the late 50s and the old school razors from Gillette are highly regarded in the wet shaving community. I also snagged a Fat Boy that should be getting here in a couple of days.
No good razor is gonna do anything without blades so I got 100 Derby Extra DE blades that were recommended. I will also be getting some Israeli Personnas in a couple of days too.
