How many wet shaving items do you buy a month?

When one is married with children its often helpfull to have hobbies like wet shaving. Need to do something for yourself and only yourself once and a while, just not breking the bank doing it. I think my family's budget can handle the $50 limit.

 

I don't have a steady rate, varies month to month.

Let's see, in the last month I've bought...

Simpson PL8
Simpson Harvard 2
DR Harris Lavender Soap
Trumpers Warwick Gold DE
TSD Bay Rum
Hydrolast Round soaps

Yeah... I don't even wanna add that up :ashamed001

 

"Hi, my name is Mike, and I am addicted to Simpsons."

"Hi, Mike." :rofl

But if I only spent $18 in a month, I think my wife would wonder what was wrong. Last month I was on a TSD spree: two creams, Bay Rum AS and cologne, and Floid. And while I have slowed down some, I was spending about $50 a month just on Ebay (straights). Also bought some soaps from Colleen this last month, too.

 

Boy Palmetto I wish my wife had that attitude, mine seems to think that $1 is too much.

 

Try this,

She gives you guff for all the shaving stuff?

Put it right back on her, "honey how many purses/shoes/eyeliners/earrings/bracelets/lipsticks/ do you need?"

Works every time.

 

If all else fails you can always use the old standby:

"At least it's not porn."

 

Puts me in the clear for a while. As far as I know her total is 21 and mine is six.

 

True story,

My wife was messing around with my brushes, at the time all I had was a Crabtree and Evelyn Best and Omega Boar.

She says, "this is rough do they make them softer?". My reply "yes they do but they cost one hundred dollars or better".

Her responce (I kid you not) "I don't care you need a soft brush"


Yes I love my wife and you can't have her. :rofl




Here is the kicker, "honey can I have a new brush", "are you kidding me you spent one hundred dollars on one you don't need anymore"

HA HA, I got the Kent BK8 anyway. ::

 

I sold off the wife to pay for my various AD's!


But seriously, I'm not married so no worries there. I probably spend more than I should, but it ends up being just enough to satisfy my AD needs. There are certainly worse habits (albeit just as addicting) one could have.

 

About $20.00 per week - working on the razor collection.

 

I don't buy much anymore. I have 3 razors, 2 brushes, 14 soaps, 2 sample creams, 1 a/s balm, 3 a/s splashes, and 460+ blades. I feel I have too much. Nowadays I just do the rotation thing. If do buy, I sell something else to cover it.

 

Did a midnight requisition of one of her makeup brushes, you know these things are really soft and work great with shave soap. Knot size is terrible low, but one can't have everything. This thing is soft enough to be a Silvertip badger.

 

You took one of HER brushes? Does she know about it, or do you have a death wish?

 

:rofl U kidding me bro?

I can see using one of them things for talc, but for lathering? :happy001

 

Did you know that we are brothers from another mother? The 177 will do nicely... brother.

Don't worry the brush is none the worse for wear, got it a little wet that night to see how it would work. I caught her working with the brush the next morning. However, I am trying to make a point that makeup brushes work real well and in my opinion they are at a minimum silvertip softness. Although the knot size leaves somewhat to be desired.

 

The makeup brush would only qualify Jo Anna if you use the same brush for shaving purposes, as long as you use it for makeup only it does not qualify for this thread.

 

Aren't those made from [vbpg]250[/vbpg] hair?
