I Want to Know About the Shavepocalypse.

I've seen this mentioned in several threads, and what I want to know is.......

When will it happen?

Will there be Zombies?

Will I have to resort to cannibalism?

What are the tools I will need for my survival?

 

I think Jeff (stingraysrock) is our resident expert/paranoid/most prepared on the shavepocalypse. I think that if there are zombies, they won't be shaved when the shavepocalypse happens, if I understand it correctly.

 

Zombies? Not necessarily, only those who are forced to go back to the realm of canned goo

Cannibalism? Not necessarily, but some will have to learn to hone and strop blades and bring blades back from the dead. Oh wait, I guess there will be zombies!

 

After a decade or so when I exhaust my stash of crap that I have accumulated, I will grow a beard.

 

Does someone mindlessly shaving with the same cartridge razor and canned goo every morning count as a zombie? That's actually pretty scary, better order myself some reserves.

 

i better get shopping for some blades only got 12 months supply, Ohh i do have a straight and loads of cream so i should be ok. for now

 

Its actually happening slowly as we speak, Italy seems to be discontinuing more stuff than any country thus far, GB constantly reformulates their stuff making it worse after each time etc.

I also wouldn't expect much more than a decade of decent badger brushes either.

 

Sad, but from what I've read, probably too true.

 

Whatever it takes to get to the stores......damn, say it ain't real. I was hoping that it was all just some crazy ghost story designed to frighten noobs......I realllly need to get accumulating.

 

It is true that I have stockpiled thousands of blades, razors, soaps, creams etc... for the coming day when all of the Traditional Wet Shaving Products are withdrawn from the market.

I have also taught myself how to make traditional soap from rendered fat and lye.

The last part of my puzzle is to learn how to strike blades from obsidian so that I will finally be free from the tyranny of shave system patent holders!

Now if only I was like Crackstar ... and had every flavor of shave cream/soap available times 10 ... then I would be SET!!

We already have enough blades to last TSD for many years to come .. and eyeballing our bathroom ... enough lotions and AS to last for at least 10 years!

So, I say, bring on shavepocalypse!!

 

LOL, Jeff and Shawna will be like Reba McIntyre and John Gross in Tremors. Their Den will be armored....razors all over the walls.....ammo cans full of blades and jerry cans full of AS and SC.....a safe room built out of pucks of soap.

 

Well when it gets close, I'll make sure to build a safe room and stockpile a few hundred brushes or so, maybe a puck or two of soap too...

 

Cool Mang! I never saw Big Lebowski until I joined TSD, so I just grabbed the DVD... Now I am off to score Tremors...

 

One of the BEST movies EVER ... Now you know what I'm talkin' about!!

 

Tremors ain't bad but it is no Big Lebowski......just warning you. Oh, the sequels aren't nearly as good as the original either.

 

Don't worry about rendering the fat Jeff, just smear some fresh from a trimmed steak on your face.

Will be nice and slick, might not have a whole lot of cushion, but all the wild dogs in the neighborhood will love you!

 

It's the original Tremors or nothing in the Stryker house! :biggrin:

 

I'm still hoping for zombies. Every good "-ocalypse" should have zombies.

That being said, it's always a shame when tradition starts to fade away.

It's not just shaving, more and more we get told how to eat, dress, drive, play, etc.

People start to lose their individuality as everyone starts to conform to the same "standard" set by whomever (i.e. The government, The Corporations, Secret Societies, Aliens bent on world domination).

Zombies.........They're real!

 

I've never bought the Shaveocalypse scenario as after 4 years of wetshaving I've only seen a constant increase in the availability of shaving goods across the board. Too as wetshaving seems to be expanding wouldn't the expanding market generate more products. Michael Ham was quoted as saying its the Golden Age of wetshaving so I don't see the coming dark age.

I think because so many wetshavers are passionate about it paranoia sets in, its so good the fear of losing it becomes all consuming.
