January 2016 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic&Discussion Thread

I wonder if there is some sort of Wives of Shaving AD Sufferers support group they belong too. I think mine intends for a NB16 as well, but I'll have to see how that goes.

 

How do you float it? My wife doesn't pick up on anything I do. For example I've been hinting I really want fine platinum and snake bite as I'm running low. I sneaked a look at her orders online and I'm getting clean vetiver and L'orange. Highly appreciated and fine sank in but I'm still not skilled enough I birthday persuasion

 

That St James black pepper and lime sounds beautiful. But the packaging puts me off. I know that's petty but it's not cheap.

 

When she and my parents asked for ideas, I sent them links to the R66 page. I didn't try to get that specific on scents. Now, I already know that my wife didn't go for it, so I'll have to see if my parents bit or not.

 

If I remember, it wasn't too much more than the TOBS. I think it may be made by the same company as Truefitt and Trumper, but it was bit cheaper than either of these. I enjoyed the scent so much that I went for it. It was completely different than anything else I have.

 

My wife does it out of love, thinking I still like surprises.

 

Thanks avocado was one I totally dismissed and didn't even look at. I will certainly consider it.

 

Sure it's about £6 difference where I've looked not mega but that's an alum bloc

 

When you are trying to hold off from buying shaving related items, threads like that don't help much.


In reality this whole forum can present one with some difficulties.

 

It wasn't quite that much difference where I bought it. It was $5 I think.

 

I fully appreciate that, Im a man of simple pleasures but since discovering this wonderful hobby I've reverted to a 5 year old in a toy shop. Including occasionally stamping my feet!

 

That's brilliant I think all nb16ers should use that as an avatar. Make them easily identifiable, so us sensible folk don't rub it in to much.

 

Maybe a little artistic license, but you got the general idea.

 

Tom, TOBS Sandalwood cream was my first real shaving soap/cream. Like Charlie, I don't think you could go wrong with any of their scents. I have not used any of the others on your list.

 

I'm a big fan of TOBS Grapefruit. It has a very nice scent.

 

Sandalwood does interest me, I have to say.

 

I see we share some similarities.

 

Omg! Pho is my fave! I try to go once a week. There is a Vietnamese community near me that has several restaurants. I order rare steak, tendon and flank with Iced coffee. My wife eats plain steak. So good!

 

You'd love SJ. LOVE!

 

Amen.
