    It's unfair you get a 8-9 hour addition :(

    GMT+1 here and the ship sailed long ago :(

    So....

    "No Buy 2016" has begun!

    My personal rules/goals are simple - no buys. No new brushes, razors, blades, soaps, creams, bowls/mugs, face washes, you name it.

    What I am allowed though is:
    • Trades, selling stuff.
    • Ingredients for homemade stuff (because much of it is needed elsewhere in the household as well).
    • Getting the White Whale if it swims by in front of me at a great price (Rubberset 400 brush/handle and/or my birth-year razor).
    • Replenishing inventory in case of discontinued products.
    What I mean by that last, replenishing, is that if, say, Proraso announces in August: "Hey, we've discontinued the Green line", then I'll allow myself to stock for life when possible. Some products I do not wish to live without, and those I'll stock up on if the word is out that it's being discontinued before I reach 2017. Those products, quickly from the top of my head but not exhausted, is Cella, Green Proraso and Swedish Super Steel blades.

    I do not, however, count on the need to replenish. But you never know - it's my disclaimer :)

    I look forward to a 2016 with much less stress on auction sites and online shops. Also I look forward to engulfing me in what I have, maybe even use something up for good. Last, but not least, I really really look forward to experimenting more with my home made Bay rum splash and with different setups for SOTD photography.

    Best of luck to ya'll!

    I inventoried my stock this morning. I'm curious to see how it changes over the course of the year.

    My inventory will not change much except for the soap's tub content to get smaller. I would like to get to the bottom of a couple of them. I may do a couple PIFs but will not take on any new soap inventory.

    I'm out! Who was I kidding! I like buying stuff. To celebrate I went ahead and ordered a blackbird because it was too cool not to have. So on that note good luck to all !

    Well at least you lasted about 9 hours - which equates to 0.1% of a year ;)

    I didn't even try, I like to buy this stuff also. I like to chat with y'all about it. scope out what everybody else uses. while I applaud those who wish to control their buying. I didn't want to try. good luck to those who did.

    Edit- No just one. I didn't catch that one of them ordered it in 2015.
