NOV 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic&Discussion Thread

Thank you. It was my pleasure. Plus it allowed me to reduce the inventory so I can get some more soap.

 

I am there with you Vince. My only big purchase for 2016 will be another Wolfman whenever James opens up new orders.

 

Care should be pretty similar to a straight, so you have it covered. Looking forward to reading about it.

 

well that's all well and good Clint, but you do know that the last part of your comment is further enabling me!!!
(especially when I read your comparisons of the Mongoose and the Wolfman so carefully!!!

 

Sorry about that. Don't worry, even if you order a Wolfman it will take most of 2016 for you to get it.

 

That makes a lot of sense. Your experience with the pain stick should translate really well. Good luck in your search.

I enjoyed our lunch too and I really appreciate the soaps that you gifted me! I'm sure I'll enjoy them. It's nice to finally meet someone from the forum in person. As for scent, my nose may not be as sensitive as some others. I couldn't detect much from one of my Kiss My Face creams when I face lathered, but it came out better when it was in the scuttle. Maybe the Strop Shoppe will be the opposite. I'll try face lathering in the morning and let you know. My wife can smell things I can't and can hear far better than me too. I guess that's one reason why she's my better half.

 

Those are gorgeous!

 

Sounds like this month has been a good challenge!

 

I'll let you know if I find anything similar as well. I love that style, and frequently looks at SR like that, but didn't even consider that possibility! Looks like I have something new to drool over!

 

Great choices!! Two of my favorites

 

No you have your pain stick and 1 piece razor to keep you entertained for a while.

No not a No Buy 2016 "Rule" but a Enjoy What You Have 2016 "Focus". Remember you can take a break from a "Focus" and come back. At least that's my plan.

 

I thought I remembered reading your favorable comments on them.

 

The care is the same as a regular straight razor. I have a Portland Razor Co western Kamisori and its my favorite razor.

I find the kami is easier to manure because it doesn't have scales.

 

Clint, They have just enough menthol to get you going, but not enough that over takes the aftershave

 

While they look cool unless you and very good with straights I recommend a round point or a French point. I also have a Robert Williams Purist Kamisori and it looks cool and vicious and because of the extreme point I nick myself allot with it.

 

Everyone is at a different level of inventory, some have a 3 month supply, some a 3 year supply, and some of us have a 3 lifetime supply.

Never let the things you WANT
Make you forget the things you HAVE!

 

Funny story. After I get out of the shower I put The Veg on, my daughter comes in our bedroom 3 minutes after I had splash some on... "It smells like an old man in here"
