#51 - Silky Glide - disqualified because I did not check in (I may have inadvertently checked into a monthly sabbatical by mistake). Anyway, it has been a full 6 months without a shave related purchase (I have some much stuff to use up at home, I could probably go another 10 years with what I have). Anyway, I am enjoying taking a break from impulse buying of gear (probably the longest I have gone since I started old time shaving). Stuck at home in downtown Brooklyn with the pandemic, probably the only stuff I spend money on is food, rent, laundry and cable/internet. Saving lots of money for when this is all over!
Thanks, but either way, I will be following along and keeping away from the BST and vendor sites!I hear ya on the cost savings! Even with the delivery fees, we're spending a lot less (even though I'm out of the sabbatical due to an aftershave purchase).
Personally, I'd vote to keep you in if your only transgression is a late check-in. I'll leave it up to the powers that be.
I’ll definitely say you’re still in!Thanks, but either way, I will be following along and keeping away from the BST and vendor sites!
What????? Perhaps you mistyped?I regret to inform you that I am out.
Well, I don't regret it that much.
Stay the course the rest of you!!
Tell you what I won't buy anything else and I will stay inWhat????? Perhaps you mistyped?
Okay, spill the beans. What happened? Was it a much needed part for the car, or was it.... Shaving gear???Tell you what I won't buy anything else and I will stay in

A bit of background... I have weird facial hair. Very thick, grows in all directions. I also have sensitive skin. I also love BBS.Okay, spill the beans. What happened? Was it a much needed part for the car, or was it.... Shaving gear???

This has made it darned near impossible for me to find a razor that works for me. Even B&B favorites, such as the Fatip, don't shave me close enough in 3 passes. And razors such as the Cobra, iKon Tech, are just cruel to my skin.
Over the 2019 restraint, through mutual loaning of razors with another member, I found two that worked beautifully: the Charcoal Goods level 3, and the iKon Standard.
I went with the former during the restock period, because, well, go big or go home.
Recently there has been a problem with it, however. The darned thing keeps coming unscrewed mid shave. And the problem is only getting worse. I recently threw up my hands in frustration, got SHMBO's permission, and ordered a iKon Standard. And some soap. And some aftershave balm. Because, go big or go home.
Of course, I will post pics of the hall once I get it.
