So T-Minus-4 and counting. I am okay with razors, blades, brushes, AS, and soaps (cream/hard/soft). I have a half or dozen or so vintage handles to restore with knots on hand. I may have to replenish the Clubman Jeris Osage Rub. It is quickly becoming my go-to after shave splash. But, you gotta be careful.....this stuff is so cold it frosted over my glasses. My biggest challenge is soap AD. Just have to use the wonderful soaps on hand. A most interesting year awaits us that have committed to NB16.
I'm killing the end of 2015 before NB '16... three brushes, a razor, an EdT on the way. Wow, fortunately only 4 days to go.
I've been stocking up on a few consumables so I won't have to buy anything. I don't know if I'm ready, but im willing and able!
I had some Christmas cash (had being the essential word here; I'm an addict) so I binged before the deadline. I ordered an EJ Chatsworth, TOBS Jermyn Street Collection Pre-Shave Gel and another 100 Astra SP's. I'm ready.
Spud, this is not binging...this is just good planning. You must have been a Boy Scout..."Always be prepared"!
The only items I may be purchasing would be supplies for restorations I currently have....but who am I kidding. I'll probably be the first to cave once I see a nice restore project presented. I wish you luck and ask that you give yourself a bit of grace when you fall. Cheers, Eric
Just got the last of my goodies for the next year. Purchased the last Shave Revolution Evolution synthetic brush and got a tub of Bourbon Room SS (more like a cream). So I think I"m ready.
Just picked up the 26mm Stirling brush, along with a couple of soaps, a tub of Soapy Bathman Irish Waterfall and Catie's Bubbles Celtic Knot. I'm trying to get in a trip to WSP before the new year, but if not I should be good now. The only thing I really wanted to try that will now have to wait is a Shavecraft Tech. Next year.
Found the secret box of blades hidden in a dark closet, so I am set with nearly 400 blades for the year - lets see - 2 blades per week times 52 weeks = 104 blades, so I ought to be good until mid to late 2018.
I've placed an Arko order. And with @Drygulch as witness, tendered payment for a strop to be delivered in early January. It's on.
Astra and Rapira Super Stainless primarily but also have Voskhod, Rapira Lux, Feather, Shark and a few others.
