You know you're hooked when the person you are talking to has a look of deep regret on their face after asking you about your hobby.
You know you're hooked when you have no problem talking about your showering routine with random men on the Internet....
Or in my case, you travel for work and you sand a W&B in your room by the sink. I felt obligated to leave an extra tip for housekeeping do to the mess of the shavings.

That way there'll be no reason to have sharp edges and fingers near the eyes. Both of which are known reasons for blindness while faceturbating. :)
I laughed while reading through this thread.. And cried a little inside.
I like 3 as well I find myself talking to my parents about it and they just look at me like "thats nice". Also when my friend and are talking about it and our girlfriends just smile and nod. Fun TImes!!Quote:

My wife refers to it as "Razor Rattle" being a good wife she nods and smiles, and even presses pause on the DVR playback, lets me run out of steam and then presses play :)
I am pretty sure she by now understands that Bevel setting is really the most imortant part of honing too :rofl2:
You know you're hooked when you whip up lather not to shave...but just to smell it, feel it on your face, and check it for cushion/slickness/quality.
Got some "Whiskey" Soap today...did just that very thing.
When your out having a conversation with a guy and thinking to yourself "you need to learn to shave" or "I wish I could let my wiskers go for 2 whole days"
oh man, or even worse...seeing a guy with razor burn everywhere and having to do everything in your power to keep yourself from saying "i know just the thing to help with your razorburn problem there". :gaah:Quote:

yeah,you could say im hooked i'm at work now (underground mining)reading this thread and thinking how obsessed some of you are ,and than i look in my top left pocket and there;s a boker 301 r.p in there and my crib bag has a strop and metal polish just in case i need it.
:roflmao I bet she's already learnt to hone by osmosis & doesn't realise it.Quote:

This might be a little off topic, but here goes. I would like to see a honing competition between Lynn and Glen's wives. See which one has been paying the most attention.Quote:

My wife and I were watching a movie last night and just from the sound she said, "Someone is honing."Quote:

The first thing you grab after getting home from work is the morning's razor, a sheet of white cardboard, your camera, the morning's after shave, cream, etc, and then you spend the next 1/2 an hour taking the SOTD photo, another 1/2 an hour composing the (in your mind) much awaited post, and then the next hour and a 1/2 browsing 'the forum' ...
...and then you return after tea to check for new updates...
... and at 8:30 at night you're still there...
PLUS, on viewing the front page you see that you have three posts in a row in the Recent Forum Posts section, and you feel embarrassed about it, but want to respond to that ONE last post from a newbie asking for advice...because you actually believe he wants to know what you think...
When you burn your hand cooking breakfast and you are mad because the pain is going to keep you from getting some more honing done.
You know your hooked when your forearms are bbs, as well as your thighs and you have a bald patch on your belly.
No true addict would ever allow a minor detail like a third degree burn on the hand (or any or all parts of their body for the matter of that) to inhibit their scheduled honing to take place...:)Quote:

I wish Glen had not started this thread...It's brought up to many realities. After reading through this I'm beginning to believe that I have a real Problem! Many things mentioned here are things that I've considered.
When you purchased few razors and say to your wife that it's will be Birth Day present from your 3-months son, and also you had already bought and used some stones and strop which your wife might to present you in July:D
Btw now I'm trying to persuade my wife that I need more presents for my up-comming BD and that I forgot to buy razor when my son was born 3 months ago)))
You add your office address to your Paypal account so that SWMBO will not intercept or recognize packaging from mail deliveries. Then we can use the, "oh that razor? I have had it for ages.."
You know this is great idea, I need to make shave corner in the office, and I can come earlier and shave here with all razor, brushes, soaps and etc. LOL
I'm already have thinking to shave in my fitness-centre changing/shower room where I play squash, but I didn't want to shock people around)
I have thought of only buying ones with black scales for that reason!Quote:

Did you SEE Glen's hone set up?! (not saying I'm in any better place to judge, considering my jealousy of said setup)Quote:

I'm happy to be arbiter of good hone vibrations, Glen! ;)
Thanks again for the invites, truly an honor, sir.
