    We will expect to see a full, drooling report about its arrival and test drive in the 30 Day thread, the Haul, and other venues. Also, an appropriately shamefaced display of your Scarlet Letter in this thread (and please refrain from cackling maniacally while delivering it).

    Oh, and congratulations on a truly excellent score. Now stop waving your 50-year-old bottle of single malt Scotch around during the AA meeting... at least until you can show pics...

    Honestly don't know. It is a little outside of my normal 22-24 mm size range. Guess I'll either love it or hate it.

    I'm still in, but the force is powerful! There are a few mighty fine razors up for auction right now. Can someone shut down eBay for the next couple of day?

    Still going strong, gonna make this for sure. Had my first product-finish (Proraso Green tube) and it's a good feeling!

    Still in with no problems. I found another focus for my extra (yeah, right) $$$. Since I do amateur radio as well, I"m looking for those pieces of equipment I couldn't get while I was a lot younger. Of course, it will be more expensive but I'll save for those really good pieces and focus spending there. And avoid BST as well

    I had a little help this past month with a birthday. I got a razor and some soap from the family, and then a late gift certificate to Maggards. The rest of the year is all on me, though.

    On Feb 3, 2015 I received a jar of TOBS Rose. Since that time I have neither bought, borrowed, won, purchased, exchanged, traded or in any other manner acquired any shaving supplies or equipment. As of Monday that changed. I ordered two straights and a new brush from Whipped Dog and a new jar of MDC. The thing that set me off was the worst sight anyone could possibly see in relation to shaving. I saw the bottom of my MDC jar. Believe me, it is not a sight for the weak of heart.

    I think this would probably qualify you as officially out...;) Great stuff though!

    I'm still hanging in there. I almost had a week moment yesterday when I stopped into an antiques shop in Wisconsin. The straight razor had a small chip in the blade so I walked away I should stay out of these places. It's like an alcoholic stopping into a bar just to look.

    Hi all, I've been wondering where this thread boogied off to. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been a bit ill, and busy too. My life is a bit upside down right now. But anyway I'm happy to report that even though I have been investigating re-knotting a couple of brushes, and looking at a soap or two, I have not made any purchases yet that would boot me off the NB'17 list. I'm pretty much trying to stay focused on not buying any shave related products. But it is nice to look around a bit. Good luck all, and have a great night!
