Thread: Is this a newbie problem?? a new disorder?

I may have a disorder thrust upon me from a lifetime of shaving with canned goo.<---this is a primary culprit for many addictions suffered here at SRP, I believe.

More often than not, I find myself deeply inhaling from my brush when in the bathroom. The soaps and creams smell so amazing, particularly left over on a dried or drying brush.

I know I'm talking to some understanding fellas here, but have I discovered a new condition? I know I'm ill, but I'm going to blame it on my upbringing.

Rationalizing this behaviour, by telling myself that this behaviour is acceptable in the bathroom, but that the brush should never leave the house with me in my pocket, seems to be a tell-tale sign

Yes, it gives an entirely new meaning to "Up your nose!"

And BTW...

How do you DO that?

Sniff whatever the heck you want to in there; I do. Just don't talk about it.

I discovered one of the un-named disorders. (Feelin' special )

The brush sniffing is merely a gateway. One day, you'll mature into twisting the lids off of creams and inhaling the purest way possible.

In the mean time... step away from the brush and go find something (preferably "someone") else to fondle that will be more appreciative - lest we read a new post in the help section entitled, "How do you remove inhaled brush hairs?"

They are all on the backside of the toilet.

I too am a brush sniffer. I actually started with shave soap and cream jars though. (I am a lid-off jar sniffer, by the way. Ya know, for the full effect).

I have been busted doing it on several occasions, and I just grin without shame. Although, nothing beats the incident last week when I apparently was a bit too aggressive about it and went parading through the house with a bit of cream on my nose without knowing it was there. My wife noticed it, and didn't bother mentioning it right way, and instead chose to giggle about for a bit before asking me (needlessly) if I had been sniffing soap/cream jars. I felt no shame in having done the act, however, sporting the evidence around the house was a little embarrassing.

I bought some cheap but very good handmade glycerine soap from ebay that has a lavender scent to which i emptied the small amount of lavender essential oil i had left in a bottle. I do find myself smelling it but its fine, i can give up any time i want!

I remember Dr Spendur once told me he conducted a rehab session for a group of folks who had the very malady. He said the scientific name of it was proboscis scentosis shavararia. He said it was very dangerous because once it gets out of hand those affected start to exhibit deviant behavior by smelling everything much like a dog does. Once you start sniffing certain areas it spells big trouble for you.

Better watch out.

And I'd add: "And those you love."

You, sir, are obviously a wise and seasoned shaver!
