I've made two trades this month, which keep me in the game. Also received a brush bought last year... it' like a late Xmas.
I say, with only that one minor transgression, you should be welcomed back into the fold. However, any further transgressions will require a serious flogging
So, how's everyone doing with this? No problems for me yet, got plenty enough to carry me through the year with enough variation to keep things interesting. Be strong people!
Doing Fine. It will probably still be another week or two before I have to use any software for the second time.
I purchased one shaving item so far this year. I have a half inch left of Thayer's Alcohol Free Witch Hazel left, and was in the Natural Grocery store, so I picked a replacement up. I haven't opened it yet, but I believe it meets the rules of NB16 as I use it every shave and am actually running out. (I don't go to this store often, so didn't want to have to make a special trip in a week or two.)
I'm still confident. I did last year's first 6 months with no trouble at all and back then I had much less gear and software.
Still in. All I have to do is look at my stash of goods and I am reminded. I think I have enough blades to last at least 5 years if not much longer, enough soaps for at least 2 years, if I load like crazy every day and enough aftershave for around 2 years. I also have a Blackbird and may never need another razor again. And I recently traded for another brush, so I'm pretty well set.
I did buy a local Tech razor for a member here (Marverel) , so not counting that. Key is not to look behind the curtain. Hope I didn't expose a loop hole.
Still in. I have plenty of stock to keep me going for a year. And so far I seem to have the resolve. I realize I buy stuff just to accumulate stuff. Pity really. I do enjoy my shaving gear though. Not ready to click, "Go to checkout" and "Complete purchase" just yet. though I must admit there is some nice software out there. I am not much tempted by hardware. I have found my perfect razor. Soaps and creams, however, are another story...for another year.
I'm tapping out. This is going to cost me dearly with my wife but I want a couple things. I'm ordering a Maggard synthetic brush. And in the coming months I want to get a Blackland Blackbird razor.
Yeah. I really want a Blackland Blackbird razor, I'm thinking around my birthday (August) I'm going to slow down on my purchasing as I don't need much, I want a couple of things. One click at a time.
