You'd think huh? I sure hope the brush lives up to expectations.... Anyway McGoohan swears that the Prisoner was not John Drake.
Except for consumables when I run out, no buying new stuff in 2016 - or forever. I like my life nice and simple. I did buy a new puck of soap a month ago, but only after the old one was completely used up.
Still fine here. Looked in my shaving gear cabinet and am amazed at what I have piled up.. Of course, you have to like Williams SS since that is the bulk of my soaps. But I do like it so should have no problem at all.
Here. March has been new Razor month. Been using my Fatip that was recently exchanged, used a new Slim that was gifted to me, and just used a NEW Deluxe today that I won in a PIF. I'll probably keep playing with these for a while, then try out the MMOC that I bought back in December but haven't tried yet.
I am trading a vintage Schick and some blades for a restoration project, but no money is changing hands, only goods I already own. Still here.
i bought some witch hazel a few days ... completely a consumables replacement purchase. it was my very first buy since the first of the year, though. no other temptations while at the big box store. i've had my shavex alum block for about a year. it finally got thin enough and broke into pieces at the end of last week. i'll be going to amazon soon to replace that. i'm sure the urge to 'look around' will be strong. i've had a hankerin' to try some Route66Shave soap recently. so far, i've been able to hold off on the purchase for me. i did purchase for someone else, though, in a recent PIF. that has, at least, lightened the urge a bit. after all that ... still in !
My wife and I were in Sally Beauty last weekend. Saw a bottle of Clubman (don't have any) and was eyeballing it. From behind me my wife says: "I thought you weren't buying anything this year...?" I sheepishly retreated from that aisle. Phew...still in! (That would be embarrassing, failing NB '16 over a bottle of Clubman)
over the past few days, i bought a beautiful s-4 black handled SS from holyrollah ... as a birth-year DE gift for my brother i got him some proraso green and an omega boar a while back to start him on his journey and get him practicing with a brush and lather. along with a homegrown blade sampler, this razor will really get him going on his move from cartidges to DEs. kevin also had a slim in my birth year, but i didn't make it in time. whew! i'm not sure i would have been able to hold off ...
63 ... q2 i actually have an I-2 slim. i love it! i have a little project going on to gather up five more for gifts for my sons ... four are DE converts and one has yet to start shaving but will soon enough. my first 'extra' for this work-in-process is an H-3. i figure it's close enough to a birth-year. i call it my conception razor ...
