I'm waiting for Mark to release the Simpson Beehive, I'm good for the moment with the crystal brush being inbound.
Yea I saw your major BLING purchase cant wait to see pics of that, Hmmm maybe we could start a new thread "PIMP MY SHAVE"
Its funny, I didn't even buy that brush for the bling factor, it was more of a symbolic purchase; the brush could have been an Omega boar and still meant the same to me. I will be sure to take plenty of pictures, however.
I am going to pick up an injector as I've never tried one and I'd like to. Other than that I think I'm set with DE's/SE's for a little while. I have a feeling I will be picking up some more st8s, though. Oh yes, and probably a brush. Hmmmm, I think a cream or two......... and for sure some more TSD soap. Now that I'm thinking about it, I wanted to try out a couple more aftershaves - maybe a TSD milk; I've always wanted to try that. As for blades...............I'm set for blades, so I think that will be the only thing I won't be obtaining this next year. I hope Santa kicks down a nice TSD gift certificate.
I'll buy a Gem Jewel or Ever Ready Streamline, if I find one in good enough condition at a price that seems reasonable to me. Same for a Schick G2 injector. Not holding my breath, though. I'd buy a Double Ring or a Darwin if I came across one at a garage sale for $10. Not going to pay anywhere near the going rate. In other words, I'm not going to buy a Double Ring or a Darwin. If some vintage Old Spice soap showed up for a low price, I'd probably buy that. Some really cheap vintage Williams or Colgate, if I just see it sitting there, well, maybe. I've stopped buying new soaps; it may be time to call it quits even on the rare vintage stuff. That's it. I've got plenty.
You will probably love BOTH those soaps....I just got an awesome shave today from the VDH luxury soap.....work it for a bit and itll build a pretty damn thick lather and it has a good but suttle scent.....and the almond soap by conk...is freakin awesome!! Nuff said ! If you are a lover of super lather...mix the vdh luxury with some omega cream and a few drops of glycerin and one drop vitamin e oil........talk about an awesome lather!
3 months into Wet Shaving and I have a lifetime supply of soaps and creams already. Probably 2 years worth of blades and maybe 5 years worth of AS, ASB, and various Pre-Shave products. With daily rotation it would take me almost two weeks before I would reuse a razor (did that stop me from buying a Futur yesterday? Of course not). Not too long ago I would have laughed at the thought of spending even fifty dollars on a shaving brush. Now I lust for Plisson, Thater, Kent, and Simpsons to fill my den (I must have a Chubby 3). I'm hopelessly consumed by RAD and loving every minute of it
No razors , brushes or blades , lack of interest in acquiring. I'll pick up some bargains in soap, cream ,aftershaves just for entertainment but they have to be bargains, this recession is kicking my #$%^. I don't have the money for stuff as in years past. I could read about a $60 brush and just buy it , put together that dream order from a shaving vendor and click. I want a barberpole by Zeus , a real one like in a barber shop, I'll just buy one, no big deal . Well those days are gone ,and frankly don't know when they'll return.
