Survived the night and into the morning with no temptations (I even played with a little fire and checked the WCS deal of the day....pshh, Col Conk bowl?) The year is long, but I'm in this for the long haul.
2014 Shave Purchase Sabbatical, The Year of Gentlemanly Shenanigans.
- Thread starter Reckoner
- Start date
I have plenty of trade items, but I thought that was forbidden as well? If it is I might have to try to either not shave some days or go with the 34C that I have not used since getting the Cobra Classic over 3 months ago. However, I might have a few Kai Mild blades left from a box I had. If I can find 5 or so of them I might be in business.
I think that is one of the catches of the whole thing: needed to think through your exceptions up front. They are now locked in, I believe.
The 2014 participants:
2014 back up and 2015 Sabbatical participants:
Blades (the mixed sampler box):
New-ish alum block (started sometime in Nov 2013) next to my retired Bloc Osma that is too small for safe use:
Will continue 3017 all products I have so, for today's shave will be using Omega cream (about 40% left) again. Expected to last till Jan 16, 2014.
Good luck and stay strong people. Together we can make it.
Good health and a prosperous 2014 !

Yep trading is ok.
Yes, but you can't trade for Feather Pro's
Sure I can
Time to post a WTT ad then, lol
Still in.
Wow, didn't think it would be this tough this fast. That straight and strop lot in the BST is screaming my name and I legit thought to myself 'you can still save money and police yourself, who needs cold turkey'.
Still in though, but not happy about it.

Trick is to stay away from BST, unless you need to trade.
I already cancelled my eBay account (too much hassle and too frustrating using this store).

Well I'm not going to put together a massive picture of all my stuff- way too much going on to make it practical. But right now I'm tentatively going to work my way in this order through software.
1) Stirling Margaritas in the arctic: about 1/2 of the way done.
2) Proraso White Tub: about 3/4 still full.
3) Cella: About 90% full.
The Razor for January is going to be my ATT Atlas which I got for christmas equipped with an H Plate.

Argh, I took out the Arko stick and the smell is stuck with me. Very powerful scent! I hope I remember to use a synthetic brush when I start using Arko.
No I don't need the latest and greatest...want on the other hand? I just thought it humorous that this idea might be going on at IB to make the work days interesting, I saw humor in it anyway
Well gents. It was nice knowing you.
Perhaps I was a bit hasty in my entry. After talking with a friend just getting into the biz, I realize there are several things I'd like to do this year. Among them, brush and straight razor restores. Also I realized I had never used a beautiful gift from my mother in law, and she asked about it.
Thus, I present to you the first fail of 2014....
For the grand, whopping total of $1.64. I know I would fail sooner or later, so I decided to make something of a new record... 15 hours.
Le sigh.

Happy New Year, fellows.
First shave of the year was bittersweet. Prepped with Musgo Real soap, which should last out the year. Then lathered up some QCS rose otto on an Omega boar brush, looking at the growing bald patch on the bottom of the bowl. Shaved with a New SC loaded with a Personna red, and had a fine shave.
I have blades to last, but may find myself missing the soap, in April or so.
So, if trading is okay, is there some stipulation that I can only trade shaving items, or can I trade my Rolex for a cake of soap (for example)?
