The following has been adapted from the Alcoholics Anonymous' Twelve-Step Program for use by wet-shavers: We admitted we were powerless over beards—that our whiskers had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a method greater than a Mach 3 could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to The Shave Den. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves and our current shaving tools. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our multi-blade wrongs. Were entirely ready to have Mantic59 remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked GDCarrington to recommend a brush. Made a list of all epidermal surfaces we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to artisan soap-makers and high-quality manufacturers whose products we had been oblivious to. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong about a popular cream or blade's effectiveness, promptly admitted it. Sought through practice and purchase to improve our conscious contact with our face, praying only for knowledge of whether to bowl or face lather, and the 30-60 minutes to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to cartridge and electric shavers, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Hello, my name is Jerald, and I'm a soapaholic, Weberholic, Personna Labaholic, Aqua Velvaholic, and a Clubmanholic! Well, there are a few (dozen) more as well...
I'm glad that you found a source of comfort and help for your problem, Steve. I on the other hand am thankful that i don't have any problems. I am in control of my shaving habit. My shaving habit does not control me...it only controls my bank account.
I'm Brad I admit that I'm a Shaveholic, I'm addicted to Semogue brushes, RazzoRock soaps, Vintage Gillette Razors and so much more. I love my addiction for a great shave every morning, a shave that is far superior to any cartridge razor shave. Steve great post.
That was awesome. You should drop in more often, Mantic. Maybe you are right, Steve, I had to do step six 3 times this morning.
I just watched this for the fifth time and it still cracks me up—and removes all my defects of character.
