Correct! Doug and Al.Lockup all your other razors in a timed vault, to open sometime next year.
Discipline isn't easy at the best of times.
As @AimlessWanderer Al said, you've got to want to do this.

Thank you Dave.
Welcome back, Cal!
Really great to read a post from you again. How have the electric / excel shaves been? I didn't know you could still get those blades.

Thank you Kit.
The electric and Sensor Excel shaves were adequate and fast... but I started to miss the "luxury" bit.
Congratulations on your "promotion." I can't imagine where you find the time!

Thank you Al.
The answer is I don't. I am very bad at it and expect to be let go at any moment but in the meantime will approach the task with my usual clumsy enthusiasm.Thank you Kit.

I have been assigned to the safety razor forum, which means I am spending more weekday shaves with a safety razor to keep me up to speed.
Time is an issue. My own answer is to drop my shaving standards to "good enough for work" on most days. This means a one pass shave, no prep and a shower afterwards with one of my two preferred razors - the Muhle Rocca or the ATT M2. This still gives me time to chat on the forums and fit in some honing every day. The shaves don't blow me away but they are as quick as an electric shave and get me through enough of the day that I don't look like a tramp.

What a great way to start the week...
Welcome back, Cal! I'm not a bit surprised to see you back, but very very happy you've returned.
Lovely kit, too. All that red!
Happy shaves,
Jim

Welcome back Cal! You were missed by all! That sure is a red line up. I love the bunny reflection in your GC84 cap (of course). 
This is an awesome day! I heard Big Nurse has been looking for you.

Medicine time? I hope.This is an awesome day! I heard Big Nurse has been looking for you.
Oh my, yes! We all have a life time supply of it. Jim's been hitting the hard stuff:
Our fearless leader has returned from the abyss and is seeing RED!
It's great to see you back Cal but I noticed a problem right away, which explains Raves sniffling.
I know you've been away a while and we can get over some slight memory loss, but Cal, that is not a Fatip!
We'll bear with you in the interim lol.

Thank you Mike.
I spent some of the incredible amount of free time I had (during my sabbatical from B&B) playing around with my favorites to discover what I would enjoy as the Finally Fixed Five. So no need to confuse me with facts, I've made up my mind.
But... "getting my mind right?" How unBOSC, no way my friend.
Haven't you always?
And don't think I'm not grateful for it. - Thread starter

Thank you Anthony.
A "Finally Fixed Five"? You mean there is an end to it all?
I had thought I'd found similar, but then I discovered that with BOSCness comes boredom. My boredom comes a lot quicker than yours it seems, but either way, time tells no lies and we shall see...
