    Nice Work, Gents!

    We've made it half way around the sun. It gets easier now.

    Still in it.

    I gathered up all my odd and end DE tuck remnants, and am using them up in a "blade trial" with a shavette. Also, about to kill a bottle of Osage (I have more), AV musk, and FW.

    I liked it. Not my favorite, but it was nice.

    Forgive me for I have sinned. I couldn't pass up 2 vintage Williams SS for $7.00.

    Could we call this a rescue instead of falling off the wagon?

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    Only if you make penance. You must send the vintage Williams to me and go out and buy two new pucks as a replacement. Only after you have used both pucks will you be redeemed. ;)

    After a night's thought ahout this, I guess I"m out. Sorry guys but I couldn't resist "Vintage" Williams. It's a terrific soap and the price was right.

    Be stronger than me and good luck

    I did it primarily for the soap/cream. After 6 full months of restraint, I'm pretty sure I still have about a year's worth of stock left. I did pick up a few items via PIF, Gifts, and I exercised my exception. All of them reinforced my desire for restraint, because none of them were any better than the items I already have and enjoy...

    You can credit it to amazing willpower. That, and when you realized you've accumulated multiple years of stuff and are running out of storage.

    Still in, and must have Angels on my side. Went to a wedding on Saturday in Chino Hills. Know what's in Chino Hills, about 2 blocks from the wedding? West Coast Shaving. Luckily, they're closed on Saturdays.
