    I guess I picked the wrong time to look at kamisoris! Although I guess it could be positive as I can shop for a month without making that impulse buy.

    My birthday is in July. No way am I going on a shopping hiatus. But I'd like to thank all of you who are. Best birthday present ever!:party:

    (Besides, I didn't buy any shaving stuff in 2014, so I'm letting myself go a bit this year.)

    Wow! A whole year without buying anything shave related. You must have all your ADs under control. :eatdrink047: :happy096:

    My only AD anymore is aftershave. I'm getting flak from SWMBO to pare down the collection. Then she has the gall to tell me she hasn't bought shoes in months. What's up with that?

    So, you are admitting defeat without trying? I think you are just trying to thin out the competition for self-opening Hungarian lather catchers with wild boar tusk handles...

    That Hungarian boar-tusk-handled lather catcher was mint. Mint I tell you!

    I'm in. I had to replace both my water heater and washing machine in June, so it's not like I have discretionary cash around for shaving gear anyway.

    No Buy July 2014 was an eye opener for me. I found that I barely put a dent in my then current stash. It turned me around on a few ADs.

    Yeah, same here. For those that participate and stick with it, it shows how much stuff you already have and how much you really don't need.

    I just recouped a little over 500 bucks selling off a bunch of razors I'd have rarely used. It's Austerity Summer 2015.

    I'm in. I need to stop buying anyway, and I've never joined one of these efforts before.
