Coping with Discovering Wet Shaving: The Stages

Fantastic 5 star thread here! The only difference for me was that my interest in colognes is actually what lead me to the shaving aspect.
 
It was a lot easier before B&B.

Dissatisfaction. This plastic thing sucks.
Curiosity. What's this DE thing my father has lying around?
Research. Wonder how to use it. Ouch! No. Try again.
Fear. Yeah! Of that plastic rake thing.
Discovery. Well, that's better.

....

that's all
 
Great post! Pretty much sums up the stages I have progressed through and it sounds like many others have experienced the same thing.

AD, didn't think it could happen to me. I knew I just needed a brush, a razor and some soap. I wouldn't be like these other guys on the forum that had to have 5 or 6 of everything. Dam it I am entering stage 7 and I know there is something else I need.:confused1

Hi my name is Roger. I'm a shaveaholic and I have 150 days.

I really think 10 should be Boredom.

As soon as everything is familiar and you get good results with your chosen tools, you go looking for other tools/consumables.

Then you start looping back from 2 again.
 
I think i'm stuck between #6 and #7 :thumbup:
SWMBO calls it my "bizarre razor fetish" :lol: but does add that it's nice I've got a hobby! :001_smile ...plus she likes me clean shaven and smelling nicer!!
 
Hard to believe that I posted this a year ago...02-23-2009!

What's changed for me? Not much, other than instead of marveling at all of this, it's now become an accepted part of my life.

RAD has subsided. SAD has taken it's place, and SBAD lurks in the background.

Bring on another year! :thumbup1:
