You know you're a shaving fanatic when...

[WittyAg]

(fill in the blank, meant to be a joke thread. Let's see what you can come up with).

- you try putting Rogaine on your face in an attempt to grow a beard faster.

- shaving reminds you to go to work, not the other way around.

- you spend more on soaps/creams/lotions/balms than the Mrs.

- you "save" so much money on vintage shaving equipment that you go broke.

When you spend more time replying to threads like this one than you do taking the kids to the park. Shame on me.

When a Jiffy parcel of shaving goodies arrives (again) and you tell your good lady wife it's just some more half-priced Dutch porn.

When you join a forum to talk about shaving with other men.

 

[luvmysuper]

When you can talk about Big Fellows and Red Tips without smirking.

-- When you take the time to set up your morning shave the night before, and go to sleep anticipating it fondly.

-- When you go into the bathroom solely for the purpose of sneaking a whiff of your recent shaving soap acquisition.

-- When you see nothing wrong with using words like "acquisition" to describe the purchase of toiletries.

........when you see nothing wrong with public faceturbation

 

[shm]

- when you check out your face at lunchtime, thinking it might be time for another shave

- when you have 25+ back-up razors, "just in case"

- when you try to whisk up a decent lather, when doing the dishes

 

[WittyAg]

- you no longer have a room in your house known as a bathroom.

- you become more concerned at a loose badger hair in the sink than several off the top of your own head

 

[Icemanxxxv]

You know you a shaving fanatic when you can't stop rubbing you face and saying to yourself now that's BBS!

 

[flcrx]

That, even after a BBS.. you simply start "lathering" again..

 

[redbike]

When you have a spreadsheet with your "Shaving Plan" on it.

That's one of the best replies in this thread.

Or Chubbies.

Or if you don't even get the joke!

 

[40_Caliber]

When the dog won't let you try out any more soaps or lather on him and won't come within 20 feet of the shave-den!

 

[Naked Ape]

When you casually suggest to your good lady that she might get a closer armpit/leg shave using your Merkur HD and TOBS Rose/Trumper's Coconut. Hoping, against all odds, that she'll become just as obsessed as you are and start sharing the cost of weekly (okay, daily) purchases.

Or is that just me?

Oh yes, and when you find yourself checking out other guys' faces in queues, on the television and on the bus. (At this point your friends have stopped calling round as often as they used to.)
