NO BUY JULY 2015 or ARE YOU THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN UNIVERSE?

typo

 

Yes! What about the closeout on New Forrest brushes!?!? Ridiculous! I found myself trying to find a way to "technically" comply, but still get a brush. Maybe buy it, but leave it in the delivery package until August... But my rationalizations were not honest, so I abandoned that line of thinking! But what's with the adds?

 

Nawww - more fun to torture myself!

 

I know I have checked a few vendors to see if anything new came in lol

 

Well I was just informed that the Feather AS-D2 I purchased on a Massdrop shipped.

Neener Neener. I bought it in June.

 

I'm gonna give this No Buy July deal the old college try. In the last week or 2 of June I acquired, or initiated a transaction to acquire, an East German Tech, a Stahly Live Blade, a Fat Boy (subsequently traded to @RaZorBurn123 ), an Ikon 102 Slant (thanks to @RaZorBurn123), a new razor stand, a Standard razor from the Massdrop deal and some Astra SP blades. I think that ought to hold off most of my RAD's for a while.

Now if I find a toggle for $5....all bets are off.

 

On vacation in Rochester, NY. Every year I sub in a golf league with my brother- in- law and our buds. Thursday is garage sale for my wife, her mother, sister and her consort. He found me my first Gillette back on March. This time he scored a super speed and an old. My wife bought them and a hat box for me which really surprised me because she is usually on me about the shaving products I purchase. I'm posting pictures on the Haul thread.
BTW, I shot a 46 (league is nine holes) had a chip-in for birdie a couple pars and took 6 of 11 points. It's a riot every year.

 

I find that staying off the forum makes for an easy No Buy July. Starting today I'll try and slowly start coming back around

 

I tried that. Didn't work for me. I enjoy reading the posts. Some keep me in stitches. Plus it's a great brotherhood. I just keep telling myself "use what you have Donald."

 

Uuuuuughh........

 

Kinda like watching a pot waiting for the water to boil. BTW Are we using the International Date line as the expiration?

 

I tried making it East Coast based as I assumed most people were in that area but not sure what time zone it ended up giving me.
I fiddled around with it but it never changed - if anyone can find a better count-down GIF that would be great

 

I think we should use time from the member nearest the other side of the International Dateline. Say someone in Guam, Korea, Japan, or Australia. I'm relatively certain @RaZorBurn123 would agree.

 

A most excellent idea

 

45 as of this AM

 

I counted all the products I've got in my den that have only been used once. When I got to 30 and had only got half way through, I had convinced myself I could stand to go a month (or year) without buying stuff.

 

I'm in. Guess I gotta wait to get some menthol from TSD

 

I've got this figured out. We just need to give each other gifts!

 

I traded some money to TSD for some samples of m bomb last night.
