Lies can snowball (a 12 month view)

Lies I wasn't aware of, yet. (I even believed them)
It'll save money over disposable razors.
CA is a better coating for the scales and faster to work with.
I just need one DE for days when I am running late to work or travel.
I need to try a few other DE razor blades to compare for the best shave.

Lies I tell myself. (Because it might be true in some contexts)
I can restore old razors to support my habit.
I need more bench equipment to be able to restore the razors.
I need exotic hardwoods for stability and to resist the bathroom environment.
I can shave with my straight razors in the morning and my DE razors in the evening.

Lies I tell her (Because I only it need this once)
I only need 3 or 4 hones (or 8, maybe 12, but not more than 18) because the vintage razors naturally come dull.
I need to try a couple pre-shave oils for a more satisfying shave.
I have to have Hard Shaving Soap, Soft Shaving Cream, and Liquid Glycerin to be able to make Uberlather.
I NEED 2 or 3 Mugs for my different Hard Shaving Creams, then 1... or maybe 2 scuttles to mix the Uberlather in.

Lies I'll tell anyone that will listen (... and I know they will never believe me because I don't believe it myself)
I need some light, some medium and some dark hard woods because different razors need different shades of wood for the scales.
I will restore and sell over half of the straight razors I own.
I have almost selected the 7... 14... 30 Main Razors that I want to keep and I will sell the others.

This is a true story. I went to the bar one night with some buddies. We were talking to some girls when one asked why I am missing half my arm hair, on my left arm. I told her "I survived double duck cancer in my left arm." She told me I was so brave, and bought me my next drink.
