Thread: When this changes from Shaving to Obsession

When your kids are called Wade and Friodur

When the missus gives up her bathroom because it has been too stuffed with shaving gear, you know the AD's have worked their magic

Our main bathroom (and the one downstairs) is being completely renovated. Yesterday my wife said to me "What kind of shelves do you want?"

I said "Why does it matter what I want?" (NB: the planning of this renovation has gone past the point where I even pretend to care anymore...I am sure some of you know what I am talking about)

She said "Because this bathroom is where you keep all your shaving gear"

Now, I don't know whether that is proof of an obsession or not, but the mere fact that anyone's wife acknowledges that the renovated main bathroom (yes, the one with the bubbly bathtub in it) is your shaving bathroom probably means something rather profound.

James.

My wife has already committed to abandon our bathroom and move her stuff into the guest bathroom when the kids move out. This is without any prompting from me.

This could be pie in the sky. My daughter just moved back in for the 3rd time.

When your wife start to understand difference between honing and stropping, difference between pastes, stones, acknowledged in all famous razor manufacturers, can tell you difference between half hollow ground and full hollow.

Oh, and when she starts to explain to her friends how stones can be so expensive)))))

If your wife knows how expensive the stones are, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!

You know your hooked when you start drawing up plans for which wall the sink and mirror would look best in the home office lol how can I be expected to limit myself and my shave gear to one tiny bathroom?!

When SWMBO is out picking up horn material "while running errands" to make brushes and scales because your too busy working

When you start hanging around the lobby of your condo building offering to shave strangers male or female.

Taking a quick break from packing to add...

What used to fit in your dop kit now requires three boxes :/
