2013 - Shave Purchase Sabbatical - Gentlemanly Insanity

[brucered]

errr........ Was this order "held" pending 2014?

Vendors have not held stock for me. The orders were placed just now, ordered off the website just now and paid for just now, no worries...it's 2014.

I just looked at the IB screen and it was calling me and I've been waiting a long to time to see those screens.

Make it 19 who finished, I'm off to the 2014 sabbatical now after I pick up a couple things.

Congratulations guys! In honor of all who didn't make it, or like me, didn't even try, howzabout some bacon eggs Benedict?

In lieu of a Canadian cheese sammich.

Ok, that looks awesome.

The other half made me pancakes and eggs to celebrate my success in 2013... ok, to celebrate New Years as well. lol

Happy New Year everyone and feel free to continue to post your "Sabbatical Orders" in here as they trickle in.

At one point this year I had about $200 more in products loaded into my WCS cart. Here's what's coming. The Harris is my treat for making it through 2013 and the Cella tub is a 2014 sabbatical PIF.

Two more things to check out before going back in for another round 1.) I love my SOC but am going to see if I can track down a smaller boar. 2.) I'm going to check out the antique store around the corner. Last year they had a big razor section in one of the cases: dozen or so strops, plenty of DEs, lots of straights. I'd like to pick up a nice vintage Gillette if one looks good.

Bacon Cheese on hold for a day. Kids/wife had a New Years Brunch planned and neglected to tell me

There will still be bacon, just not on a sandwich today

I wish I could say my first purchase was flashy: my Chefmate water heater (for teas and such) started leaking some time ago, and I replaced that this morning.

Congrats to those that finished the Sabbatical, you're my inspiration for this years effort.

Lets see.....

No fancy sammich or breakfast for me. Honey Bunches of Oats and Coffee

First purchases: My kids going to Winter Camp and needs a winter jacket, boots, and travel toothbrush.

So eventful, huh LOL

But, on my first purchases wish list for shaving is:
RR Baby Blue
RR XXX v2 (I will get some, you'll see)
RR/OTS Inauguration
RR/CC Captains Choice

The rest depends on when Joe at IB releases it!

The only real important part is still happening... BACON!

Congratulations to all who successfully completed the 2013 challenge. The admiration is deeper now that I have embarked on the 2014 challenge and already beginning to realize that this is no joke.

So for all those who made it, what are the days you get to stock up for this years sabbatical?

You have to start some where

Well I made it. An entire year with not one shave-related purchase. I could probably participate in the 2014 sabbatical if I wanted to, but going an entire year really tempered my acquisition disorders already, and I don't feel the need to collect vast quantities of shaving goods anymore. So, while I will not officially be in the 2014 sabbatical, I am also not going to be spending anymore than I really need to on shave kit, either. And if it turns out that I don't need anything in 2014, all the better!.
