I'm starting to get some of my soaps to new homes. Decided to focus on only gear that I enjoy using, and not use the stuff that is only partially enjoyable. Going to pull a bunch of stuff into a den clearing sale as well.
Hang in there. Maybe you can make a trade.... I'm not trading my Blackbird anytime soon but there are others who may find the next best thing. Remember "happy wife, happy life". Good luck.
Check out this thread --------> http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/blackland-blackbird-brotherhood-bbb.48627/ I have one and it has already become my favorite. I never expected to spend this much on a razor, but I am glad that I did.
Received the last order I placed on New Years Eve. It took 19 days to arrive from Scotland. It's pre- shave oil from The Executive Shaving Company. Now there's nothing new until 2017. I'm handling it well; enjoying my creams and soaps. I'm not even checking out the Fendrihan website anymore!
I would think considering the favorable dollar exchange rate between USA/Canada that sites such as Fendrihan, Italian barber and menessencials would be a steal for US and other customers with a higher dollar value.
I thought you were joking...so I checked and you were right...the Fendrihan stainless razors are half price. Great deal. However, I am waiting for the closed comb version before I order. I am not keen on the combination open and closed head on the current models.
This is okay. I had been looking for some original Georgetown Pottery brush scuttles and, once found, made the purchase. One scuttle goes back to 2009. I am still in for razors/blades/soaps/brushes; however; if I see unique piece of pottery, I will make the purchase.
I understand. I'm still going to try and stay on a no buy with a very short list of items that I will fall off the wagon for.
B&M, Bullgoose, Maggards among others. It helps to not be tempted by email offers. I'm still trying to finalize a design on a brush that began in Nov/Dec. Otherwise it's been fun restraining myself. There's been some awesome stuff on BSTs... really.
I am down to my last two Polsilver SI's, so I ordered some yesterday. Really not after anything, no temptations. Winter will be ending soon, and am excited to break out all the citrus and menthol soaps that have been hibernating. As I said at the onset, when Rod from Stirling announces what the Glacial lineup is going to be I will probably order a soap and an AS. The Blackbird has rapidly become my favorite razor, even passing up my ATT S2, and when the OC is released I might have to fall off the wagon for that one. Putting a big den clearance together so,that will fund the OC if it happens, and I will probably end up owning fewer razors at the end of the year than I started with.
I will join the NB 16 crew....... at least until summer. One step at a time haha! I've been spending way too much and I admit I may have been excessive in my pursuit of shiny gillettes. Just in case anyone is wondering, no my wife is not forcing me to write this at gunpoint.
