NB '16 ?

Ok folks now November
I held off buying consumables...
Still In. Who's with me?

 

Still in, not a single shaving related purchase all year and now it's all downhill.

 

Still here.

 

Congrats to all those hardy souls who can stick with. I"m weak and didn't make it. Maybe next year.

 

For those who actually made it this far...how much stuff did you actually finish off?

 

Stick of Arko, bottles of FW, Veg, one can Barbasol.

 

Several different DE blades, a puck of MWF and a tub of Proraso.

 

• Small Tube of C.O. Bigelow
• Tube of Coates Lime
• Tub of Eli's Extracts Cream I was using as pre-shave
• Tube of Institute Karite
• Small Puck of Mama Bear Hinoki Wood
• Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood Sample
• Mitchell's Wool Fat Sample
• Tub of Razorock The Freedberg
• Puck of Route 66 Bay Rum trial
• Puck of Route 66 Vintage Spice trial
• Ginger's Garden Oakmoss Sample
• Tube of Gucci Balm
• Only a couple of shaves left of my tin of Mike's Barbershop

 

Does Route 66 have a Bay Rum now, or did you get Rum Runner?

 

It was from her last trial batch before she opened up for orders. I don't think that particular scent made the final cut, though I really enjoyed it.

 

You got my hopes up

 

Keep your eyes open in the next few days for my November post in the Vendors Corner

 

Still in. No purchases, but blessed beyond my wildest expectations with gifts and PIFs from others

 

Ok only 19 days left...who's still in? I am but barely almost went out last month but didn't. (actually paid for a slim, but sold it for same price I paid before receiving to a memeber on a pipe smoker forum. Was a very good price and was going to use as my travel razor).

 

Still here.

 

I'm hangin in for the end too. I've been saving up my credit card rewards and gift money for the end of the year. So far, depending on Christmas gifts, my beginning of year binge looks like:

• Delta Echo or North Shore replate on my Fatboy
• Razorock BIG Bruce
• Custom synthetic
• Tuxedo knot to transplant into my old VDH Boar handle
• Ted Pella blades for my MMOC
• Old Type

 

Still in.

 

Still in. My purchases are going to be

- Vitos Shave Soap
- Jeeves Shave Soap
- Fine American AS splash

After that, will start selling off/PIF'ing some of my DE's (and donating to TSD raffles )

I really want to be a bit more spartan. My RAD and BAD has passed and now I am looking to be more minimalist

 

10-ish days ... still in

my next shaving dollars will go towards some route66 soaps

one of my sons heads back to the navy just after the first of the year

i may have to 'buy a few days early' so that i can share some with him ...

 

Still in. I'll probably continue to restrain on soaps, as I think I still have a year's worth left. I've got some money set aside for a few things though. Delta Echo or North Shore replate on the Fatboy, One or two IB synthetics, need to restock my SE blades for the MMOC, and I may spring for a custom synthetic brush as well...
