I bought a new water heater over the weekend (after cleaning up after the flood the old one caused.) Sorry I didn’t think to take a pic.
Well Sara a hot water tank IS shaving related....unless you are a cold water shaver . I applaud your new purchase and Welcome! That is probably the most $$$ spent so far.
Just because I am not buying anything, doesn't mean you should not. About the only way I will buy something this year is if I see a rarity that I have wanted at a reasonable price. Thrift store toggle, yard sale bottom dial, junk shop New 1909.... Wont happen... I just spent way to much money on a new bicycle build and used my discretionary income plus....
Normally I only post purchases of vintage shave related items. I don't know why I rarely post purchases of new items but maybe I don't want anyone to know how much of an addiction I actually have. This thread has given me boldness to pull back the curtain just a wee bit. Here's what I can remember purchasing so far this year. -Four, yes four big bottles of Pecksniff's Black Oak & Cedar Fine Fragrance hand soap (yes, it's that good!) -A new boar brush I didn't need but it's stiff and scrubby, it smells like a dead animal, and it's orange (well, it did smell but I cleaned it) -Nine soap/cream samples that I have absolutely no need for since I have boxes of unused soaps and creams (these are ones I didn't have already) -A bar of Nesti Dante Citron and Bergamot bath soap (even though I have enough bars of bath soap to give several away at my funeral even if I live past 90) -Finally, not shave related but in the men's grooming department; A vintage Swank telescopic shoe horn/brush. It might ? be shave related since it's partly shiny metal and partly a brush. Extends for an easy reach and folds for storage/travel. And no, I didn't need it; I just wanted it.
I already ordered a new custom razor. I am not planning on buying any soaps or anything else, but I will never be a no buyer.
So if you committed to a No Buy thread for this year, but you also follow this thread, is that like being married and watching pornography? Asking for a friend. Tedolph
