    I have no idea what I'm doing for the month. Other than the Yates being on deck I have no idea what I'll be using in the morning. I'm watching for inspiration.

    I do have a few Gillettes and they have been getting neglected as of late. Maybe when I finish off with the latest acquisitions I'll give them a run.

    Nice, Bill! Those blades and that soap were what I used for my initial wet shaving kit for the first year and a half. A cheap, floppy pure badger brush and a Vikings Chieftain rounded out the kit. No aftershave until I added some Afta Fresh about 6 months into it.

    I doubt that I'll commit to a focus or rule but I will give them each a three shave run.

    I'm in for January, which will be my 8th month participating in this 30DC group. Still doing some thinking on if I will do a rule or focus...
    I won't be part of the NB2021 crew, however I do have a goal of using up and scaling down some of my soaps significantly.

    It will end before the next 365 days have passed. I am just wondering who will break first and what item will cause it and the justification that will have them give in to the temptation.

    I placed a few orders this week so I'll have stuff trickling in to start the new year. Didn't want to try going in cold turkey.

    I never doubted that you had a backup plan, Jim! Lol!

    I see you and Jim are on the same track. I will not declare your destination, but that depends on the both of you. Who gets off of the train will be quite interesting. Lol!

    Thanks, Dave.
    I was looking over the inventory earlier and made notations of 3 categories:
    (1) what needs to be re-homed
    (2) what I'll just use until it's gone
    (3) what will remain a fixed part of the collection and repurchased when needed

    Lots of overthinking took place... :happy097:

    I still have a couple of Gillette tech razors on the way I purchased a couple of weeks ago off eBay. If anything this 30 day rule will help to break in this new Wilkinson shaving brush I picked up recently and have only shaved a couple of times with it.

    Very nice intro @Primotenore !

    In for January, running with lots of open edge gear as usual, various setups and fragrances. May try a couple 4-5 day mini focuses along the way.

    Also in for a No-Buy 2021. Have only 4 items inbound. All planned before the end of 12/31, one EdT, one straight razor, both paid. 2 of Evan’s brushes, he’s been put behind schedule with getting supplies in a timely manner.

    NB-2021 chant....

    And to all....Happy New Year’s 2021!
