I know I can’t be alone in this game.
You find a set up that works for you. Sure, you have a few different razors, brushes and blades in your toolbox. Your shaves are impeccable. Your lather is perfect. You’ve found a blade that just works no matter what. You have a routine, with… I don’t know… maybe a nice aftershave that your lovely wife approves of.
Everything is just as it should be.
Then you log onto this damn place.
You come across @Luc and his quest to find skin bracer, not to mention other aftershaves.
God help you if you come across one of @Marco ’s magnificent posts. The man oozes sophistication and knowledge on each topic he writes about.
Then one of you posts about a blade I’ve never considered because I love Nacets, and I read your in depth blade reviews and comparisons.
”I don’t need to buy anything new. My set up is just fine.”
Then why the hell do I have 4 different soaps, 3 aftershaves and 200 Gillette Silver Blues sitting in various carts that I keep coming back to?
WHY!?!
Don’t you know that I don’t need any more gear? That my bank account is content and my wife hasn’t questioned my humble stock of hardware and software in quite some time? I’ve been living in peace and harmony.
Shame on all of you for emphasizing the benefits of classic shaving, or… or describing that “scritch” you get from that nice new boar brush.
I don’t need anymore information on your lovely lather bowl, or that sale on that website where you found spectacular deals.
Nope. I’m not falling for it fellas. I’m in total control and I’m just fine where I am. Take your marvellous collection and scram!
…now that my wife isn’t reading this over my shoulder anymore, Is 200 blades enough?
