This is what I have to last us a full year. Several different themes for most every month, at least one is razor inspired. Of course, many items overlap and can be used in many different themes. Many of you will find you're using a particular theme all the time anyway. No problem. There are no set rules. You don't have to participate for the entire week. Heck, you don't have to participate at all. This is just for entertainment purposes only. Remember... It's your shave. Enjoy it your way. By the way, no, there isn't a theme for every single week, just so you know. SEP 2 - Adjustable Week SEP 16 - Williams Week – a whole week to master the lather, and get over the smell!

Hey, you just might like it This thread is for schedule information only. Please click on the applicable linked thread above to discuss the theme of the week.
Any interest in continuing Theme Weeks? We're near out of scheduled themes. Anyone want to take this over, or @swarden43 do you want to continue the scheduling?
Organize. It's simply starting a thread to take up suggestions for future theme weeks. Then organizing them as Steve has done in the first post of this thread. Future theme weeks will be contained in the normal weekly SoS thread. (Used to be a separate thread. Seems redundant though to have 2 threads.) Offer suggestions for theme weeks that you can participate in, if someone offers to take this over.
