    OCD = Straight Razor Shaving.

    Straight Razor shaving = OCD

    It's obvious...

    Yeah think you are right, do you find that your stuff all has to be put in the right place, or everything isn't right with the world.
    Am already thinking about better ways to organise my equipment.
    MUST stay away from eBay.

    Yes, it needs to be exact. At times; I'll jump out of bed at night to re-arrange a chair in my room, or re-arrange the razors in their case. I used to measure all the windows in the house to make sure they were open by the same amount (sash windows). I can never ever leave the house without polishing my boots, and must always polish my cufflinks. I like the volume of the radio to be on even numbers; even if 47 is the 'right' volume. I strop 30/70 mainly because I like it to add up to a nice even 100. I'll trim my moustache and beard, go and sit in the lounge room, and then almost immediately get up and trim it again. I grind my coffee beans for exactly 15 turn of the grinder handle each morning. I am odd.

    You probably could have omitted the part about being odd, or did it just dawn on you after writing this post. if your moustache was slightly uneven would you keep leveling it up even of it was getting too short, or would you be able to cope.with it until it grew out?

    Oh, do you think it was obvious? :-)

    No, I'd have to even it up. But if it got too out of hand I'd have to leave it and just be depressed for a few days... :-(

    Yeah, I do the climbing sideburn thing, I have to put my finger onto the bottom of my sideburns at the back closest to my ear and the front closest to my cheekbone to make sure they are both at the same place on my face, can't see both sides of my head at the same time. Though I do get to a cutoff point too. I think absolutely no sideburns looks weird, I used to work with a feller who shaved right up level with the curve of his hairline above his ears. But my preferred sideburn is a full muttonchop, where I shave from my jawline down, shave my chin and upper lip, and everyone I know thinks that looks weird, horses for courses I suppose. Had to shave them off as wifeyo and daughter hated them.

    My wife thinks I suffer from OCD because of the way I organise my socks - She said, 'do you realise that's OCD behaviour?' I said 'you mean CDO'. She said 'it's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder'. I said, 'yes, but CDO is the correct alphabetical order'.
