    S0 with only a week until NBJ '15 begins what'll be the last thing you participating guys order in June before the 30 day shopping freeze?
    Making sure you got enough blades or balm?
    A last frivolous purchase before lock-down?

    :)

    Kinda like a last hurrah at the pizza buffet before the diet?

    That's not my style. I'm actually already on a NBJ with two exceptions:
    The Feather AS-D2 in Massdrop and possibly the Blackbird if the Kickstart makes it. Both aren't paid for but commitments were made. My Amazon/eBay jones is acting up already though.

    Oh, I'm not advocating such a thing - simply curious :)

    No, not self control. I just stayed away from this forum (and shaving forums in general). I think I checked in about once a quarter.

    You all are a bunch of enablers in this forum (if not in this particular thread). :)

    Well, after shamefully making it only about a week into last year's NBJ, I think I will sit it out this year. I don't have any big purchases specifically planned, but... you never know. You know?

    Nothing I need in the month of July—but I do have plenty of stuff to sell!
    But if no one is buying next month, I best hold off until August...:D

    I got a hundred dollar gift certificate from art of shaving. I thought about shopping their website before the freeze. maybe I'll just hold off.
    it's sort of sad when my bathroom has a wider selection than a store dedicated to shaving.

    Or wait until NBJ '15 starts, and see how many people you can drag off the wagon...

    Oh man, don't think I can do it. Planning a trip to major local flea market that my neighbor insists usually has lots of razors. How about I promise I won't buy anything but razors, does that count?

    Oh, what the... if @mrchick signs up for this so do I. :) I might be able to make it four weeks as I have the hoe razors and the goose to play with....

    The only 'disclaimer' I have is that this weekend I'm sending Jay @Delta Echo Razors my Fremont razor to, if possibly, have repaired. There might be a payment in July for that but since the order/work was initiated in June I'm hoping that is still allowed.

    Can we set up a pool, everyone chips in a razor, soap, or aftershave, and those still standing at the end of the month split it?

    or a big block/ log/ brick of some hard to find rare limited edition soap, the entrance fee buys it, the winners(whoever's left standing) split it up.

    An acceptable circumstance. I'm expecting a bill or two from purchases not made in July.

    I've got this covered - make several orders now, with delivery instructions that specify delivery about once per week thru July. Perfect solution. What's that? Not in the spirit of the thing? Whatever do you mean????
