Impulse buy

Today after shaving in the morning, I entered my room and without any immediate thought or logic went to The well Shaved Gentleman and ordered Tony's beginner strop. I actually talked to him and he seemed like a geniunly nice person.

I've been using the inside of one of my suede belts which worked quite well, but wanted something purposeful. So Tony says it might even be here on Saturday.

I never intended on buying it, in fact I've been eyeing an Aspinal of London wallet for quite some time. But, I'm happy that I bought it now. Can't wait until it gets here :D.

My mom's response to the package will be, "More shaving stuff? >_>"

I do believe you'll be hearing that often ;)

I want a new strop but I end up buying more kitchen knives..... or sharpening stones... ARRGGHH!!!

Last time I almost bought my TM strop I got a phonecall that ended up in my buying Shapton Glass Stones... DOH!!

One of these days I'll ignore the world long enough to hit the "Pay for this" button....

Tony is a wonderful man to deal with...a true gentleman.

BTW, the beginner's strop is just awesome, too.:D

Thank you guys. Thank you also for your paitence when I cannot respond right away. Been really busy with the strop and my "real" job and sometimes just need a little down time.

We have family coming in from California tomorrow so will spend a few nice days with them to relax.

Tony

Haha I heard this from my wife just last night! And it was followed by "How much shaving stuff are you going to buy??"

To which I replied, "Less than all the replacement blades I'd buy for that M3 over the years :)"

Try, how much makeup are you going to buy??

No, don't go there. Some things you just need to let go. ;)

Indeed, you gotta know which ones you can win :p.

Received my strop today, complete with oil for it and some literature on how to take care of it. I stropped my razor just out of interest(no intent on shaving at the time) and having all the extra space is quite nice compared to what I use to have. The surface is a lot harder too, directions were to use a couple of weeks before oiling so I'll follow that. Excellent strop, there are a few hairs on my arm missing. Thanks for the great product Tony, it'll get much use.

Now when that Red Imp arrives my RAD(and SAD) will be calmed for the time being.

Phrase it like I did: "Sweety, I wish you'd wear less makeup, it hides your stunning natural beauty"

You won't be needing the wallet. All your money will be spent on shaving supplies....

I have the same problem with my wife....


Ever since my RAD... I've been having stuff sent to the job and because my wife works with me too, I open it quietly in the corner where no one will see me...

I feel so ashamed to have to sneak around like that...:( . I don't think I'll ever be cured of this disease....

I've even forsaken my occasional glimpses of naked woman online only to browse the BST forums..

But what's a guy to do :shrug: .

I saw someone post that shaving with a straight razor will teach one discipline. I guess that isn't necessarily the case!
