Does reading about shaving make you want to shave ?

[John Rose]

Nope. I shave daily, willy-nilly.
But it can influence how I shave, or what with.
For example, the forum threads "Every Friday is Clubman Friday", or "Single Edge Sunday - What Will You Use? ".

And reading your mind makes me want to be a farmer.

Ha-ha.
It is to laugh.​

A lot of the times, it does. When you hear about a great shave someone had with a setup that you have, you want to test it out again and enjoy the same experience. Sometimes, it'll be the opposite and it'll make you curious why. And slowly but surely, you follow the trail into the rabbit hole... welcome.

Yes it may. But if I’ve already shaved that day, I need to be reading something that spurns my facial hair to grow quicker.

 

[Billy T.]

Not reading, but If I watch a video of someone shaving I want to shave too.

 

[cyclingsteveb]

Yes! Definitely! And to buy ****!

 

[BigJ]

Sure does. But then again, just thinking about shaving makes me want to shave.

+2! Yes indeed!!

 

[DEPenguin]

I agree with Tallships, but I can say that reading about it certainly primes me for the next days shave. It heightens my anticipation.

Yes. B&B is a terrible influence on my shaving habits and buying shaving supplies habits. TERRIBLE. I’d probably have a waist length beard if I were not involved here. But reading about shaves and reviews of great products makes me cave. And let me tell ya....I’m very very lazy when it comes to shaving. I can resist the urge for several weeks sometimes. But eventually I give in. I think it’s been a week or more since my last shave and I feel like sometime this week I will succumb to the temptation.

Sounds to me like B&B is a good influence on your shaving habits, not a terrible one. You’re admittedly “very very lazy when it comes to shaving”. So if the Forum helps to combat your natural inclination to look like a bum, I’d say it is a positive influence on your normally bad habits.

Maybe I want to look like a bum.

I rather enjoyed Toothpick's original "Yes. B&B is a terrible influence ....." comments.
I took it, as I'm sure he meant it, as strictly tongue - in - cheek.

I don’t think so, but I could be wrong. He’s posted elsewhere that he is lazy and let’s lots of time pass between shaves. Nothing wrong with that, of course. I was just saying the if the forum causes him to want to shave more often, then that’s a good thing.....not a bad thing.

 

[texas_gaming]

Yes. Especially when I have new products to try. Just bought some Arko on Amazon and can't wait to try it out for the first time. Should be here on the 22nd. Probably give it a go this weekend.

I don’t know so much about wanting to shave, but when I read multiple reviews of different soaps, it makes me want to buy them.
