You know you've got AD when...

[lmennuti]

Alright folks, I've searched and searched and didn't see any threads about this, so if there are please point me in that direction and ignore this thread.

Otherwise, please chime in!

You know you've got AD when...

- You have a "rotation" of; Razors, Blades, Soaps, Creams and silvertip brushes
- You've got a saved search (or searches) on ebay for particular shave gear
- You started having your newly ordered shave gear shipped to work, so you don't have to explain why you "need" that item to your wife
- You know what a Moss Scuttle is...And you want one...In small AND large.
- You try to entice friends/family into Safety Shaving, so if they too become AD'ers, you'll have company!

You see a "helpful" post by some "neighborly" gentleman titled something like:
"50% off XXX.com sale"
and your response:
@@$#%!@$@%%!

If you break out in a cold sweat when you are traveling on a strange road and see an antique shop that you never knew existed . . . and it is open . . . you might have RAD!

If you ever:

1. Reply to a thread on B&B and tell the world that you really aren't a big fan of Fat Boys,

2. Buy a Slim Aristocrat from a member after the above post also indicated that you do prefer Slims, but everyone knows that the '48-'50 Aristocrat is truly your favorite,

3. Buy a cased Fat Boy on eBay, increasing your bid in the last seconds because it was still under $30​

. . . all within the span of one hour on a Sunday evening . . . you might have RAD!

When the toughest choice you have to make during your first cup of morning coffee is "What razor do I want to use today?" . . . you might have RAD!

When SWMBO tells you that she found a cased Toggle on eBay that you might want to take a look at . . . you might have RAD! (and an enabler, too)

When your son (who lives on the other side of the continent) buys a very good cased pocket edition Old Type from a guy on Craigslist, polishes it, and sends you photos of his "new" $10 razor . . . you might have RAD! (By proxy)

You’re trimming bushes in the yard and wonder if they would look better in a “fan” shape as opposed to their current “bulb” shape.
Yes, I really did have that thought last fall. Sick, Sick Sick.

...you have a medicine cabinet full of so many creams and triple milled soaps that you can shave well into 2014 without buying another thing, yet you immediately order the next cream or soap to merit a 30+ post discussion thread on B&B.

.....you are running out of "friends" who need razors....yet all the razors for your "friends" are strategically hidden in the closet.....

When the only friends you have left are those belonging to an internet shaving forum

What about those of us who didn't have any friends before belonging to the shaving forum?

... when you volunteer to whip up some shaving cream for your wife to shave her legs with so you can plow through the tub faster and order more.

 

[Mr. O]

You know you've got AD when you're in a store you go out of your way to check out their shave supply section.

You know you've got AD when you're in a store you go out of your way to check out their shave supply section.

- so true.

You know you've got AD when you check the B/S/T forum more than once a day and find things you have "always" wanted and never knew existed.

You drop off a prescription at Walgreens and immediately walk over to the shave area, (even though you know they don't carry much of anything that you like) and spend 20 minutes "just looking" at the shave stuff hoping that maybe you'll find some new product.

I actually volunteered that this morning.

 

[MisterDarcy]

- You started having your newly ordered shave gear shipped to work, so you don't have to explain why you "need" that item to your wife

Always did this, so the UK postal services couldn't leave me one of those annoying red cards at home that says (I'll paraphrase):"We tried to deliver something that's marginally bigger than your letterbox, so you'll have to travel into the wastes of an industrial park in the middle of nowhere to get it. Ah-hahahahaa!."

Well, that's my excuse.

We should list all the ADs, as they add up to quite a bunch:
SBAD
SCAD
SSAD
ASBAD
ASSAD
SRAD
DEAD (!)
PSAD
EdTAD
SFAD

Any others?

 

[Loner16]

You start showing an interest in going with the wife to Antique stores... Something you wouldn't be caught dead doing before!

... when you volunteer to whip up some shaving cream for your wife to shave her legs with so you can plow through the tub faster and order more.

Exactly. I've done this numerous times.

 

[bythbook]

the linen closet your sweetie "gave" you - for your 100% exclusive use as a shave den - is too small. Full. Jam-packed.

Really really full...

...and there is so much stuff it's personally embarrassing to even plan to begin an inventory...

...and there's more stuff in the basement - "BST, someday" stuff...


...and you cruise BST/dbay/vendors looking for even more stuff.





That, my friends, is when you know you have ADs.
