    It's easy to sit there and call my client a crook, Your Honor. Because he is!

    the only way to save face would have been, to ask your friend the shopkeeper to hold the merchandise until you were clear to outright purchase them.
    he would have been happy to hold them for you, he's your friend.
    but you took the items into your possession.
    greed, impatients, and lack of self control are your undoing. better luck next year.

    Funny you should ask. I am thinking about a Feather Artist Club or a Kai next month. Any feedback?

    I enjoyed the feather. Its a pretty good shave once you get used to it. I haven't used the Kai, but they seem at least as well made.

    It is NBJ, not NAJ (No Acquire July), BUT, I do believe it violates the spirit of this adventure.

    Doesn't say you can't TRY to buy something.

    I can't remember the last month I bought so much shaving and Den related stuff. There's jumping off the wagon, and then there's wallowing in the addiction.

    Safari AS
    Safari AS Balm
    Safari Gift Set, contains the above, plus deo and soap.
    Brut AS
    Brut cologne
    Super adjustable razor
    Vintage Trac II carts
    Vintage adjustable Trac II carts
    Scissors to trim my goatee (and five other pairs of Wiss scissors- forgot to cancel some gixen snipes. I'll sharpen them all and then list a pair or two in the classifieds here)
    Brylcreem
    Murry's Super Light Pomade cream
    A hockey puck to raise the bottom level of my shave mug.
    and two pucks of Williams...just to remind myself that I really do dislike this soap.

    SWMBO is not going to be pleased when this stuff starts trickling into the mailbox. Lately I've taken to intercepting packages at the time of delivery and sneaking the contents into my shave related "collection storage boxes."

    If she asks, I've had this or that for a "while." (I don't tell her it's a "while" measured in dog time...dogs live in the moment, you know?)

    Edit: I forgot about the three tubes of euthymol toothpaste.

    Must be tough waiting for the mail each day, unless you've got extremely punctual delivery. Fortunately I can have my packages sent to my work address!
