I've technically reached the end of my year successfully. I'm rolling into year two and trying to whittle down my stockpile. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
I don't like to presume, as it makes a pres out of you and me, but when you say "nothing left"....do you have a Bill Neumann?(Wm. Neumann&Co.)?
Looking back at 2018, I made 2 shaving purchases. I purchased 2 aftershaves from Perry and then I found a Standard Razor, raw aluminum, on ebay and bought it. However, I've used up a couple of soaps and finished out 2 tubes of Bigelow shaving cream, so I'm still working down the stash...even if I'm out.
I’m still in and going strong! Of course, this is helped by the fact that I haven’t shaved in months, due to costuming needs for 2 different stage plays I’ve been in... Santa says, stay on the Nice list folks! Looking forward to shaving this off in two weeks!
No. And it turned out I didn't have a number of other soaps, splashes and brushes either. Which piled my NB'18 on the rocks in September. Which was still a lot better than 2017's March...
I'm locked in for NB '19. The den is well stocked with a great rotation of soaps and splashes, and my RAD is virtually non-existent. Giving this a hard push for next year. @Screwtape I'll get those Rolls parts out to you this week. Apologies for the delay.
Good luck with your NB'19 then. No worries about the Rolls parts - if you had got them out the door earlier, they would just have sat in a Canada Post warehouse longer, caught as the posties' rotating strike rotated through my area.
My No Buy 2018 went great! I didn't buy anything, except to replace products of which I was completely out. Otherwise, it would have been a Maintain Inventory At Current Levels rather than a No Buy. My only purchases were a bottle of Kiss My Face shaving cream, a cake of artisan soap (that very quickly transitioned to bath soap), a bottle of Nivea aftershave balm, and a jar of Art of Shaving shaving cream. The total was about $45, and I still have about 2 months worth of shaving cream and 90 percent of the after shave balm left. In 2019 and thereafter, I will buy a 100 pack of blades, shaving cream and aftershave balm as I run out. Perhaps an artisan soap instead of shaving cream. It's nice not being a shopaholic. Cost effective, too.
This is very inspiring! Thanks for posting a wrap up on your NB. I'm loaded for bear going into '19. A much better state (both with inventory and my ADs) than where I was at in the beginning of this year when I tried NB'18.
