<teehee_23> Maybe in the winter
<teehee_23> Not the summer though
<teehee_23> I would blind people
<Sammy_Lee> they could even break their legs into zones and use different lathers
<Sammy_Lee> i am awesome!
<teehee_23> Too systematic :P
<MrTooNiceGuy> I can't trek you how tempted I've been to Shane my legs
<MrTooNiceGuy> Tell, and shave
<teehee_23> Trek? Bahahahah
<amanforallsaisons> LOL
<amanforallsaisons> gsgsgsgsgsgs
<teehee_23> <3 you MrTooNiceGuy
<teehee_23> gsgsgsgs
<KCBanana> I'm super pale teehee,  and I blind noone
<KCBanana> Gsgsgsgsgs
<amanforallsaisons> I have very hairy legs....
<Sammy_Lee> i'm asian so i only get to shave my legs once a month
<teehee_23> Eh, I'll still pass on the leg shaving :P
<amanforallsaisons> recovery from shaving them would be terrible
<shaveselect> hey aman
<KCBanana> Sammy  maybe we should tell nolr to do that with all the new soaps he has.  Hahaha
<amanforallsaisons> hello
<shaveselect> What's so sketch about shaveselect.com?
<MrTooNiceGuy> Same here, saisons
<Sammy_Lee> yes KCBanana
<KCBanana> One of us will have to tell him when he pops back over to its
<amanforallsaisons> In my humble opinion it doesn't represent a great value for those who have already started wet shaving....
<KCBanana> To us *
<shaveselect> oh
<shaveselect> welwl
<shaveselect> for new ones it does right?
<shaveselect> because if you can find the retail value of that for less than $40
<shaveselect> i will give you a subscription box for life
<amanforallsaisons> I don't know, I'm not sure exactly what products you have in the box
<shaveselect> http://photos-g.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xfp1/10808682_1517199965202990_1879200785_n.jpg
<amanforallsaisons> Is that a Straight or a shavette?
<shaveselect> shavette
<shaveselect> i could have put a straight
* Snoo60567 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 241 seconds)
<amanforallsaisons> ok.
<shaveselect> but it will be crap
<shaveselect> i can't afford to put a good straight
<amanforallsaisons> Understood
<teehee_23> Yeah, good call
<nbnoir> welp that was a waste of 3 or 4 afternoons
<shaveselect> and don't want people using a cheap straight
<teehee_23> ? nbnoir
<shaveselect> the shaving brush is boar and is famous in turkey
<nbnoir> I just spent the past couple of days binge reading the PvP webcomic because I forgot about it
<nbnoir> just finished
<shaveselect> the safety razor is one of the best low prices razors on the market
<teehee_23> oh
<amanforallsaisons> If I was targetting newbies, I would offer an option of either the shavette or the DE (what DE is that btw)?
<teehee_23> Is the safety razor a RiMei?
<shaveselect> yes
<shaveselect> but i'm going to buy rimei soon
<shaveselect> :)
<amanforallsaisons> and swap out the 20 styptics for one My Nik Is Sealed
<teehee_23> ^
<shaveselect> i give both
<shaveselect> so people can try both
<amanforallsaisons> I know
<nbnoir> shavettes are useful as fuck btw
<nbnoir> even with a straight, I think I'd keep one for beard touch-ups/lining
<shaveselect> i run the biggest barber supply company in toronto
<shaveselect> so i am not new to this
<shaveselect> like wet shave club
<amanforallsaisons> ok, no need to get butthurt
<shaveselect> lol
<shaveselect> well
<shaveselect> i just want to post it on reddit
<amanforallsaisons> That's fine. I expresed an opinion
<amanforallsaisons> vendors who don't tolerate differing opinions don't always do so well
<shaveselect> you did
<shaveselect> but you called it sketch
<shaveselect> so here i am
<shaveselect> to prove you it's not
<shaveselect> calling it bad is one thing, sketch is like i'm a scammer
<nbnoir> or an artist
<shaveselect> or that
<shaveselect> if you want
<shaveselect> i'll give you a free one
<nbnoir> my face is saying "EHHHHH!?!?!" while my fingers are doing the pointing guns thing btw
<teehee_23> Are the boxes $40 ?
<shaveselect> no
<shaveselect> $25 a month
<shaveselect> the first box is that
<teehee_23> What are the other boxes?
<shaveselect> shaving samples, aftershave, cream, soap, etc
<nbnoir> Col. Conk is truly the only thing in there that's staring at me like "why does this still exist?"
<shaveselect> col conk is a great starter
<shaveselect> yes it's mainstream
<teehee_23> Eh......I wouldn't call it great
<nbnoir> I couldn't give a fuck about that
<teehee_23> I think are are better things for the same price or less
<shaveselect> meh to each its own
<teehee_23> (Arko)
<nbnoir> ^
<shaveselect> yes
<shaveselect> i can switch to arko
<shaveselect> i was planning to
<shaveselect> but i think the urine cake smell
<shaveselect> will not attract people
<nbnoir> actually, curious
<shaveselect> especially newbies
<shaveselect> you know what i'm talking about?
<nbnoir> what is in the same price range as Col. Conk in bulk buying for what you're doing?
<amanforallsaisons> http://www.reddit.com/r/Wet_Shavers/comments/2n2sbx/dealsnew_products_thread_saturday_november_22/cma82bm
<teehee_23> Yeah, some wont like Arko
<teehee_23> But the performance is undeniable
<shaveselect> well
<shaveselect> there are many
<shaveselect> arko i guess
<nbnoir> you lose some people because of the scent of arko, you lose some people because of the performance of Col. Conk
<shaveselect> that's true
<shaveselect> however i think col conk doesn't have bad performance
<shaveselect> it's just worse than normal
<shaveselect> but the scent is amazing
<shaveselect> i can't let n00bs smell like urine cake
<shaveselect> i really can't
* Snoo60567 has joined #wet_shavers
<shaveselect> especially since there's no aftershave in the first box
<nbnoir> I use it as decorative soaps
<shaveselect> aman thanks i appreciate it
<nbnoir> see, I like the smell of Arko xD
<shaveselect> i can switch to arko
<shaveselect> right now
* Retrieving #wet_shavers modes...
<shaveselect> but i'm not sure
<nbnoir> my question is what would your options be besides those two?
<shaveselect> hmm
<shaveselect> well
<shaveselect> let me do some searching
<undream22> nbnoir, gotta be honest dude, options usually just confuse beginners.  They want the choice made for them.
<nbnoir> oh yeah fuck options
<shaveselect> that's true
<shaveselect> gotta be like steve jobs
<shaveselect> this is the iphone
<shaveselect> this is what you want
<undream22> I can't tell you how many phone calls and emails I field about our beginner kits, people just want to know what they should get.
<nbnoir> oh shit, Palmolive is cheap as shit too
<shaveselect> yes
<undream22> i think it is the vast majority
<shaveselect> but i heard bad things about it as well
<teehee_23> Yeah, or La Toja
<shaveselect> i could put a small proraso
<nbnoir> if you can get your hands on it, that stuff doesn't smell like you're rubbing your face in a urinal cake
<shaveselect> but it'll last very short
<teehee_23> Palmolive is good shaveselect
<shaveselect> williams? lol
<teehee_23> Good performer
<nbnoir> blech
<teehee_23> Not williams
<nbnoir> vomited a bit in my mouth
<shaveselect> lol
<shaveselect> but is col conk almond that bad?
<nbnoir> my question is
<nbnoir> Almond
<undream22> Most guys who smell La toja in my store put it back down.
<nbnoir> allergic reactions
<shaveselect> i don't think it's similar to peanut allergy
<shaveselect> it's very rare
<shaveselect> and i'm not sure even if it's real almond
<amanforallsaisons> you know what shaveselect if you're still offering a box for free to reassure the community how good it is....
<teehee_23> I'm not that huge of a fan either undream22 . But a lot of people love its performance
<nbnoir> undream22 have you tried the Erasmic stick?
<amanforallsaisons> I can recommend a few members who have the experience and ability to give it a fair review....
<undream22> nbnoir: no
<shaveselect> as long as it's fair
<shaveselect> i don't mind anything bad
<shaveselect> but let me know what it is
<shaveselect> so i can improve it
<shaveselect> create an account on shaveselect.com and tell me your username
<shaveselect> and i'll send you a free one
<shaveselect> i feel that this community is so pro maggard and artisan
<shaveselect> but none of you guys realize that all mainstream soaps started artisan
<shaveselect> to keep up with supply and demand, they had to get bigger
<amanforallsaisons> How about this....
<amanforallsaisons> I'll create an account....
<amanforallsaisons> I'll try the box, then mail it to another member of the community
<nbnoir> oh I love non-artisan soaps and creams
<amanforallsaisons> and so on
<shaveselect> sure
<teehee_23> Me too nbnoir
<teehee_23> MWF is a great soap
<shaveselect> but look at my post
<shaveselect> tell me what i wrote bad about it
<shaveselect> because
<nbnoir> but some people, like Col Conk is really bottom barrel, while Proraso has managed to keep themselves as a solid medium for a bunch of products
<shaveselect> i don't think you realize how hard it was me to to build this
<teehee_23> I like Proraso too even
<shaveselect> i'm not even american
<shaveselect> lol
<amanforallsaisons> That's ok, we've got lots of Canadians
<nbnoir> Proraso is like... the perfect middle of soaps and creams and stuff

<nbnoir> oh shit
<shaveselect> whoops
<shaveselect> stupid irc
<shaveselect> but yeah that's what i posted
<nbnoir> EVI, speak to me girl
* flotwig has joined #wet_shavers
<nbnoir> the only things I can think of at the moment would be
<teehee_23> shaveselect what comes in subsequent boxes?
<amanforallsaisons> shaveselect : username amanforallsaisons
<undream22> nbnoir:  You know, a lot of conk's products IMO are kind of money grabs.  Their brushes are really bad, I ordered a few one time.  They also have insanely overpriced stands, bowls, etc.  I've talked to their president on the phone a few times, and I just get a wierd vibe from him.  The employees that run Conk are super super nice though.
<shaveselect> i haven't decided the exact item
<nbnoir> I just look at it, and I can't take it seriously
* flotwig has left #wet_shavers (Leaving)
<shaveselect> what's not serious?
<nbnoir> Col Conk, I can't take them seriously
<nbnoir> it's the moustache
<shaveselect> oh
<shaveselect> lol
<shaveselect> i know them well
<shaveselect> in fact i know them all well
<nbnoir> not really, but I just look at it and I'm like... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<shaveselect> and could have AMAs of all the top shaving companies
<shaveselect> on reddit
<shaveselect> but i asked the mods
<shaveselect> and they said no
<shaveselect> because you are advertising your site with it
* Snoo60567 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 241 seconds)
<nbnoir> hey, I'd love to rattle around inside the heads of Castle Forbes
<shaveselect> b&b is so nice
<nbnoir> but that's about it
<shaveselect> castle forbes is expensive
<nbnoir> we're huge lovable pricks
<nbnoir> and delicious
<shaveselect> maybe i should be more mean
<shaveselect> lol
<nbnoir> not so much mean as... snarky
<nbnoir> we're full of snark
<nbnoir> except on wicked_edge, you'll want to try baby talk over there
<nbnoir> wear armor made of stirling samples while wielding a VDH brush and the Microtouch One, become their king you know?
<teehee_23> shaveselectwhat brand is the shavette?
<Mickey_Lee> Hey guys, I'm back and stuff
<amanforallsaisons> hey Mickey_Lee
<amanforallsaisons> did you get to try one of those samples today?
<shaveselect> we are branding our own soon
<shaveselect> but it's nothing high end
<shaveselect> not yet, at least
<Mickey_Lee> Yup, I used Leviathan and enjoyed it quite a bit
<shaveselect> the microtouch one is a joke
<Sammy_Lee> i'm still on the fence about how i feel about it amanforallsaisons
<nbnoir> that entire statement was a joke
<shaveselect> i'll have the weishi on my site
<shaveselect> for a few bucks
<nbnoir> except maybe the armor made of stirling samples
<shaveselect> of course i know :)
<Sammy_Lee> i didn't use it because i haven't grown enough leg hair to shave again :P
<shaveselect> i think i want to transform back to hipster
<Mickey_Lee> I can see why there was a mixed reception though, its not something I could use daily like phteven_j
<shaveselect> start from the bottom
<shaveselect> and be at the bottom still
<shaveselect> :)
<amanforallsaisons> No, Roam is my go to
<amanforallsaisons> Leviathan mixes it up
<nbnoir> another question would be why Feather blade packs instead of something cheaper?
<nbnoir> I feel like it's like loading up your boxes with 7 o'clock blacks
<Mickey_Lee> If I shave tomorrow I'm gonna try Roam
<Sammy_Lee> Roam smells like cowboys, damp wood, and steaks to me amanforallsaisons
<shaveselect> blade packs? you mean the white plastic?
<teehee_23> No, he's saying why Feathers instead of another brand
<Sammy_Lee> not sure how i feel about shaving with it, but i love the visuals i get smelling it, eric is excited to try
<amanforallsaisons> yeah Sammy_Lee
<shaveselect> feather has a rep
<shaveselect> for being the sharpest
<shaveselect> like kim's ass for being the biggest
<shaveselect> people aren't willing to learn to change
<shaveselect> the same goes for safety razors
<teehee_23> shaveselect does your $40 include shipping?
<shaveselect> it's not $40
<shaveselect> it's $25
<teehee_23> $40 challenge rather
<shaveselect> and free shipping to usa
<teehee_23> thats what i meant
<shaveselect> oh
<shaveselect> yes it does
<shaveselect> so find me the bo
<shaveselect> $40
<shaveselect> with shipping
<teehee_23> Alright I'm going to try.
<shaveselect> you won't be able to
<shaveselect> at least not retail
<shaveselect> some of the stuff isn't even on websites
<teehee_23> But, since you didn't say what kind of shavette, I can just find any generic one
<shaveselect> well
<shaveselect> i can't give away everything
<shaveselect> and keep in mind
<nbnoir> don't mind me too much shaveselect , it's just the jew in me trying to find ways to cut costs for max profit, even if it's saving some cents per box on blade packs
<shaveselect> lol
<shaveselect> well
<shaveselect> let's just say
<shaveselect> i get things for a good price
<shaveselect> and pass that good price to consumers
<shaveselect> so if anything, i'm helping you more than a small business would
<shaveselect> don't hate the big businesses they need money too lol
<nbnoir> oh we don't
<shaveselect> holy shit it's saturday night
<shaveselect> i have to meet some chick
<shaveselect> peace
