Thread: Intervention on aisle 3 please!

I need help.

A few days ago I ordered a razor from one of our fellow members here along with a French tip Wacker from elsewhere. Today I clicked confirm on 2 Harts & the first two aren't even due till some time next week. Included in today's orders were also another bowl, brush, stand and some new soaps & creams I've been wanting to try.

I'm afraid if this continues I'll end up pawning old razors just to keep buying more....

welcome to the fold, you are not alone.

Oh man you got it bad or is that good? So long as you are having fun and no animals were harmed it is OK.

We are ALL fallen, all of us. It's a sad, sad thing.

Helpful hint: If funds become tight one can stave off the crash by imbibing in some soaps and creams. Have you checked out the new line up of Musgo Real products? Buy just one or two; just a little taste, it'll make you feel well...

I tried that at an Art of Shaving store in Houston a couple of weeks ago. Somehow between choosing a tub of cream and checking out at the register a silvertip travel brush made its way onto the counter.

Ummm..hate to inform you but you're not gonna recieve much help from us here...lol

....I already do that....

I get people into straight shaving, sell them a razor and then buy another one....it's terrible...but I can't stop.

I've got 3 people in line waiting for me to finish cleaning up and honing some razors so that they can get started.

My Wacker 6/8 French point came in today! That makes me feel better as now I have a new toy to play with tonight and I'm only waiting on 3 more razors instead of 4. If I'm home when they all come in I'll post a pic of them, but it's doubtful as I'm leaving town for 6-8 weeks sometime late next week.

So I tried the Wacker last night. New razor, wanted to take my time with it and all. I have to say, it was very interesting. After about 25 linen strops & 75 on the leather I had my shower, lathered up & got started. I could hear it shaving, but it felt like the backside of a butter knife on my face. The only time I felt any drag was when I forgot to stretch the skin. The French tip was tremendously useful cleaning up under my nose as so far I've only regularly used round tips. That point got a little intimidating when I moved down to my neck though. I kept thinking any time now, that tip is gonna dig into a hollow and bite me good. Overall it was very pleasant, especially being smoother with a little less feedback than my 5/8 hollows. With that I was able to do a much more thorough job on my chin/neck & do a pass more than usual for that extra closeness.

It's definitely a keeper
