Thread: Does it get mundane?

I'm in the same boat as Hillie- I LOVE shaving, but because it takes so much time I don't always get to shave as often as I might like...which can be a pain, because sometimes I need to be clean shaven FAST....

Your beard can't grow fast enough. You"ll get it.

After about 2 years I still like the idea of a great shave. If you think you are going tired of it just don't shave for a couple of days, IT'S HELL ON EARTH! One good thing is that I seem to be only buying what I can use in a year or so, which is good! There is nothing like a good BBS shave.

Take Care,
Richard

I wouldn't really say it has become mundane. It is more part of my daily routine now than the nostalgia of the first few weeks. However, it is a part of my routine that I look forward to and enjoy, rather than it being a chore that I did when I had to (which is what it was with a Mach3). I suspect this is how I will always feel. I don't do it cuz it's a novelty, I do it because I enjoy it.

I don't ever see it getting mundane.

The pain from using a disposable was mundane.
The cords and cleaning and cheese grader-ness of an electric was mundane.

I've only been shaving with a straight for about a month or so but there is a big difference in the feel of it. Mainly...it doesn't hurt to shave anymore!

After a year, none of the thrill has worn off. I get closer shaves than I did at first, takes less time and I hardly ever nick myself any more. What's to be mundane?

In order to prevent this from happening I change my hardware around ocasionally. My mrs onced asked why am I constantly trying different things in my routine? I answered that there are two reasons: 1) Keeping shaving from becoming routine; and 2) find what the best thing for me is. Right now I am still looking for the best shave cream for me.

I still enjoy SR shaving and the challenge of honing various ebay specials. I don't think I could ever go back to any other method of shaving and be happy with it.

It's never become mundane for me, I enjoy the ritual aspects of SR shaving and then after I'm finished shaving and feel the results I love it even more.

I'll never stop experimenting with wet shaving in some form or another. Keeps things interesting.
