Am I the only one?

[MrMoJoe]

A typical trip to the bathroom for me goes something like this.

1. Take care of business.
2. Wash hands.
3. Notice the tube of Erasmic on the shelf. Remove top and take a whiff. Nice! Replace.
4. Ahhh . . . there's the Cella; take a whiff.
5. Hmmm . . . the Mama Bear's Spicey Lime may be my favorite . . . gotta take a whiff of that.
6. That goes great with the Ogallala Bay Rum with Limes & Peppercorn AS. . . (whiff)
7. And that TOBS Mr. Taylor AS is great anytime . . . (whiff)
8. Wife: "Honey, what are you doing in there?"
9. Me: "Nothing, be right out."
10. Yes! Proraso, that's a classic . . . (whiff) . . . man, that takes me back to my first wet shave!

And so on

No, you are not the only one!
Exactly the same happens to me!
Including the wife who always asks: "Is everything OK?"
But all these things are part of the beauty of wet shaving!!!

No, it's not just you! I also take the time to give my DE's a quick buff (even if they don't need it), straighten the brushes, check to see if I might need a shave...

I experienced something similar, only for me, it was more along the lines of...

8. GF: "Honey, what are you doing in there?"
9. Me: "Nothing, be right out."
10. GF: "You're smelling your grooming products again, aren't you?"
11. Me: "No!"
12. GF: "Don't lie."
13. Me: "OK, then yes."
14. GF: "God, you're such a freak."

+1, on this one... but I have to admit... I'm one of the "lucky" guy's... who mostly need a shave.... TWICE a day!!!!!

 

[Trawlerman]

Hehehe I know that feeling all too well

 

[DFrancis]

This is the reason I now keep things in a drawer, it helps a little bit, but only a little.

 

[Jorocom]

Yep, it's like there are magnets attached to my shaving products and my nose!

 

[OldSaw]

Am I the only one?

Yes, you are. You need help.



Pack up all of your shave soaps, creams and aftershaves and send them to me for proper disposal. If you purchase any more products just have them drop shipped to my place and save yourself the trouble of repacking and starting your therapy all over again.

 

[oscarbowman]

That sounds about right but is it normal to make several trips to the bathroom in the day just for another sniff!!

We have a seperate toilet and don't actually have a WC in the bathroom and I'm running out off excuses for being in there!

"I'm be down in a minute honey I'm just ..............ah...I'll be there in a minute!"

 

[ShavelockFoams]

Nope. That sounds about right for any devoted wet shaver.

Your not the only one who can't resist sniffing the Erasmic.

 

[Jaymo]

I do the same thing. I smell all of my AS just to compare them.
Then I smell my VDH and Arko shave soap.
Then I fondle my razors.

My wife usually asks me "Did you fall in?", "Is your stomach ok?", or "What did you do, buy another damn razor?"

This sickness runs deep, and it's drug resistant.

I can't walk past my bottle of AV or Master Bay Rum without opening and smelling it. Same goes for my vintage glass bottle of Old Spice.

 

[dpmtherrien]

Gee, I thought everyone did that.

 

[brianw]

There is at least a weeklong psychiatric conference in all of this... and yes I do the same thing

 

[BurkDarkpatches]

Nice. I usually stop at #3, though.

I keep my shave stuff in my laundry closet so every time I walked by it, I open it up and get the awesome smell of Williams.

Since I started wet shaving I spend more time in the bathroom than my wife and 14 year old daughter. Sometimes just looking at my stuff.

Give her another year and she will only come out to go to a friend's house or school.

[Hansel]

LOL...You aren't the only one

I give the products a sniff now and then, but I'm really prone to polishing all the finger prints off my DE's...Even when they don't have any...
