Buying Habits
Buying Habits
Anyone else notice an inclination to stop buying shaving creams and soaps and to start buying razors and hones once you've settled on straights?

Re: Buying Habits
Yeah, and it is far more debilitating on the wallet. I've even lost all interest in brushes, they have just become a step in getting Valobra on my face as efficiently as possible. Anything other than Valobra shave soap seems to irritate my skin now, so rotating soaps is out. All that's left is straights and aftershaves. And it is good.ScottS wrote:Anyone else notice an inclination to stop buying shaving creams and soaps and to start buying razors and hones once you've settled on straights?

Yeah, I've noticed. It's like when random drug abusers become real junkies....totally focused.....nothing else does it except that ONE thing...sigh.....best to stay away from that crowd....

That constant urge to turn that $1.50 eBay beater into the worlds best shaver is a dangerous thing also.
As for the Valobra, what can I say?? I blame the camping trip that I had in conjunction with finding a nice soap vendor (who I'm trying to talk into stocking Vineolia, by the way) on that particular evil.
My Norton 4k/8k is waiting for me at Woodcraft for pickup.
Gordon, is SMF a new way for you to pick up clients?

No kidding!
For me it was fairly easy to prevent SBAD - get a couple of high-end brushes and that's that...
Straights, on the other hand - totally different story. Oh, and later - hones too.
Richard - I am sorry to hear this about the other soaps, must be frustrating! However, lately I am only using one soap too (just a matter of choice, not irritation). We'll see how long this will last. (Maybe I'll get lucky and will be able to settle on it for good?)
