    I haven't even looked at any auctions or sites related to shaving products so I'm feeling good about going the distance.

    Think I will try out some things like cold water shaving and also unpack two Stirling soaps samples that have been sitting unused for about a month on my shelf :)

    Haha, no I ordered some soap maybe 3 months ago and got two samples. I smelled them and then put them away not thinking about them.
    This No Buy July is making me explore my shelf and drag out things that have just been lying little used :)

    See, I'm putting old stuff to use and exploring/enjoying what I have :)

    Men jag tror inte att jag har nagot mer som det dar :)

    That's my plan this month too. I've got the Stirling samples I received a week or so ago, and my plan is to through all of them this month.

    I almost pulled a Joe! I needed to buy a new bottom bracket for my bike tonight, and found the one I wanted on Amazon. I wasn't really paying attention when checking out, and ALMOST bought some Proraso that was in my cart!! Caught it just in time. Phew!!

    My question is.......Can my wife buy something for me? "Shaving related" and have it count as I am still honoring the No Buy in July Pledge?

    He would probably enjoy it.:happy096:

    So does my "She Who Must be Obeyed"

    Hahaha good one. Almost pulled a Joe.

    This no buy July is not to difficult. I know i need to Work on my technique. And the decision to stick to proraso red has made it easier.
