Boney M ftw! ..wait....that felt wrong. I really still like them tho. Does that reduce my coolness ranking in any way?
I think it makes you even cooler.

don't forget the Cat5!In order to be a *cool* shave geek, you have to make the requisite trip to Canada to smuggle back Green A.V. Just ask Lynchmeister.

you will know you have reached true shavegeek-hood when your wife/significant other walks into the room while you're watching a mantic video, and your first reaction is to hide it and bring up a porn site (you know, so she doesn't think you're doing anything weird...)

So that got me wondering. Am I officially a shave geek or am I just cooler than everyone else I know now?
To the outside world yes, that is true. But, subjectively, among geeks, there are degrees of geekiness, and therefore of geek-coolness.
As I stated in a previous post, I picked up some Aqua Velva based on all the great reviews on it here. I had it sitting on the counter in the bathroom and my wife said to me, "What's with the Aqua Velva? Isn't that stuff cheap?"
I said, "People in the know HIGHLY recommend it and you know what, they're right!"
She said, "There are people in the know about Aqua Velva???"
I said, "You don't know the half of it... there are people in the know about all things shaving. These guys can tell you the history of after shaves, what they think about different shave creams, they have videos of different shave techniques, they can talk about how great a particular razor is for days on end. If I ever have a question about a problem I'm having shaving, I post it and within minutes, someone has some great advice for me. It's actually really cool!"
She said, "Yeah, reeeeaal cool..."

Newb here who also picked up some AV for the same reason (plus I wanted my wife to know that there is something about an AV man...). For the record she hates the stuff and I secretly sneak some on before leaving for work.
Also, as a newb, I respect all the shavegeekness that I've come to enjoy so much on this forum. Who else understands? (certainly not most of the guys I try to 'share' with).
Now I'm off to Windsor, Ontario to get me some green AV!!!!!

Watch out for the border patrol/customs. (again, ask Lynchmeister)
Ok, I'm officially asking! What happened?
LOL...ok, so no actual AV smuggling going on, or any search and seizures at the border or anything, just stories elevated to legendary status...gotcha. I was trying to figure out why AV would be considered a controlled substance or something, lololol.
