I'm getting bored. I think I'll go pick out a razor and install a new blade for tomorrow morning's shave.
I do that too.
I've had dreams about shaving.
The Confessional is now Open...
- Thread starter Duggo
- Start date
I do that too.

I snuck in a bottle of Aqua Velva into the shopping cart while the wife wasn't looking.
Walking past the bathroom late at night I had to open up the Proraso and take a wiff.
I can change.

I have a long tooth comb NEW being replated, but it was taking too long to get so I bought a short tooth comb NEW in the mean time. I'm glad I did it too. Is that wrong?
I started out as a 'vintage only' guy, but now I'm a 'newly manufactured' guy.
I'm so confused!!

I am addicted to Osage Rub but, I can admit I have a problem. Fortunately, the Menthoholics Anonymous group is giving me a lot of support right now and I may soon wean off on AV.
I have a Conair Hot Lather machine that I use to heat canned goo (Barbasol with aloe). I put it into a lather dish and sprinkle the scent I plan on wearing that day before mixing and applying it with a brush.
It feels.... good on my face.
I'm so embarassed.

I'm a N00b wetshaver.
After reading B&B, I bought a M3 and Fuzion.
I bought the $25 AoS kit and yet have only made my own lather Once in my Lifetime.
I've watched Mantic's videos at least 2X in my short career, yet I only do 1 WTG with my new Lord (according to Mantic is a CAP - Cheap A-- Product).
I go into work looking unshaven.
I've read Kyle's Prep at least 2X times and the ENTIRE thread following it, yet despite my N00b status have yet to try it (see above on making lather).
I've used Aqua Velva only because my Drill Instructor made me and have since refused to use it afterwards. I think it smells cheap.
I've recently had a desire to buy something that smells like sandalwood (where'd that come from).
There- I think I'm qualified now to be a nominee for the shaving confessions Hall of Shame.

YES! Same here! I often dream of just standing in front of the mirror shaving. It's either incredibly narcissistic or a sign that I have Alexythimia.
[napoleondynamitevoice] what! [/napoleondynamitevoice]
Wondered the same thing (but in my own voice)...
In my own defense see my edits below
I have plenty left of the Black Opal gel and I despise waste.

I didn't want to make myself seem so insolent to those of you wise to the ways of the world. Forgive me. I got caught up in the competition of one-upmanship.
or maybe it was AoS I was reading...

I didn't catch this until after I bought it
See above...besides, most of the guys I work with don't care much about appearance. At least I ask my dry cleaner to put creases in my jeans
.I'm trying to use up the gel and to only learn one thing at a time; blade angle and WTG technique.
This is true...but I'm thinking about doing the drug store smell test

I went to Boots the chemist to purchase some aftershave splash, I went for the Boots original bay rum. I was admiring my purchase at home when I realized it was hair and scalp conditioning tonic! I had a shave that night and used it as aftershave.
I also soaked my slim adjustable in vinegar for too long, it is now tainted quite badly.
2 school boy errors in 1 week, I have lots to learn........

I wonder if there is somewhere we should go to get this fixed?
Wait...who said it's problem!?
I shaved with a Schick band razor this morning. It was great!
I wanted to get laser hair removal on my upper cheeks.
I've also hidden my last 7 purchases in the lower linen cabinet next to my nudie mags.
I love the smell of TOBS rose so much I put some in a film cannister - not so I can take small amounts on holidays - just so I've got a sniffer sample in the car.....
I've never seen a Badger brush before! 
Never tried or seen Talbac, Speik... well anything other than VDH soap.
I've never seen Shaving cream that didn't come out of a can.
But I ordered creams and soaps and a badger brush today! Even a Futur.

Both feet first is the way to jump in once you have dabbed a toe.
Good show!
