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.

say again?

I broke. I ordered some m-bomb menthol and sandalwood samples from the TSD shop, and left a donation while I was at it.

donations are ok, they were part of our original nbj pledge.
are the samples free?

no but I have to do something .. I hear menthol is good for sensitive skin, nothing I've tried is working out.

Then again, my shave den inventory is as follows:

2) DE razors
1) SR
2) back up SR (out for repair)
2) brushes one for soap one for cream
1) cream
1) soap
2) pre oils (one bought(nearly empty) one home made)
2) A.S. balms scents to match soap and cream
2) After shave splash (clubman original, and Old Spice)
2) strops (one store bought and one hand made)
(and I think I have to cut back on spending)

well your made it three days into your month long pledge not to buy shaving products.
now for the ridicule.
I hope your word is worth more in other areas of your life.
three whole days, really, way to show off your iron will.

I understand where you are coming from. I also understand that I have a high profile lifestyle. I am one of the front men for a rock band, I own a grooming shop, and am also a machinist engineer. I deal with a lot of people face to face, and I have to look good. I also have to consider my wife, when she says I need to do something, I do. She said my face was looking rough, I took steps to remedy that.
Blessed be friend, and enjoy the 4th.

In the end personal happjness/needs will always come before any online forum pledge If this was something you felt you needed to do I wouldn't feel bad for breaking NBJ - at least you gave it a try and fell off for a 'good reason' as opposed to me who is more likely to fall off before something is extra shiny...

I do hope you enjoy your purchases, and look forward to reading your reports on their success.
but, you can't be on the list of people who have mastered their hobby related spending.
maybe next year.
best of luck,
