NB '16 ?

Absolutely right. This thread is not supposed to hinder generosity or financial support of TSD.

 

Books are not covered under the rules. Books about shaving are cool by me.

 

Is this thread NB16 or "Deals to good to pass up 16"?

So fun...

 

Day 55 done. 311 more. Let's do this.

 

Apparently you guys were the problem...Sniped an E3 FB on the bay, 12 bidders, $42 in great condition...
Call me the antagonizing devil

 

I'm having porridge as we speak! Breakfast before work.

I guess I'll have to wait with that bowl

 

Did not; it was new. I caved, but thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

 

I resisted temptation today. At an antique store in Huntsville, TX I found a 1959 Fat Boy, it needed cleaning but nothing scrubbing bubbles couldn't handle. The mechanisms seemed to work well and it was only $12. If it was a D (birth year razor) instead of an E I wouldn't have been able to resist.

 

I know NB '16 is in part about saving money...but I fear that in this case it prevented you from possibly making money as you could had easily flipped it for a profit.

 

Wow, That was real will power, but I believe my capitalistic nature would have taken over...glad that I was not tempted.

 

I have decided to define my NB'16 clearly for those interested. I write this because I am almost out of Thayer's Witch Hazel, which I use after every shave (I have long since dropped it from my SOTD photos) and I ordered a new bottle without hesitation. So...let it be known that I have not and will not purchase a new/used Soap/Cream/Croap; AS, EdT, EdC, Shaving Brush, Razor, Blades (I have plenty)since January 1, 2016 until January 1, 2017. I may trade---without financial outlay, for any of the heretofore mentioned shaving products.
Witnessed whereof Anno Domini 2016...etc. etc. etc.

 

Okay Primo, we're watching you...don't slip up.

 

Yeah, but that sounds more like work than fun.

 

Need a ruling...

If I pay to have new scales made for a SR blade I already own, is that a violation? The current scales are very off center and don't protect the blade properly.

 

Is it your only straight? If so, then I'm fine with it. If not, then I'll defer to everyone else.

 

Nope! Well, I certainly don't think so. After all, you have to protect what you already own.

 

Can the old scales be repaired?

 

I would have to say yes, unless you don't use the SR in 2016. That's just my opinion though. Paying for repairs is different from buying new, so an argument could be made either way.
