CCS/DFS/BBS. I chase after that fully knowing I haven’t developed the chops to do so without scraping my face raw. Unlike the other ADs, I can’t find a valid coupon for it online
I'm in a similar situation to you. That's why I gravitated to matching seven-day sets of SR's. Buying in bulk allows shipping from China with the likes of FedEx for relatively economical rates.Live and work in a place where your local income is 4.5 to 5.5 times smaller compared to USD, £ or €, and shipping of brushes is real difficult (high shipping cost)... I have never buy any brushes from the US, UK & EU.
Then again, Aliexpress is very near....and sales happened frequently. That's why all my brushes are from there...affordable albeit limited. Alas, my appetite for brushes from Aliexpress is for now very much reduced due to the looooong shipping wait. I am still waiting for my last 2 brushes...
I don't go searching & looking at brushes anymore...rather just look at soaps, aftershaves, Karve & Timeless.
In conclusion, due to limited buying power, I can only choose 1 AD....for now.
You're a sick man. I'm sure that some here can give you advice on how to at least treat the symptoms.I am becoming a minimalist one razor, one soap, and one brush. With blades I have an assortment to begin using once the Fixed Four for Any Month ends on the 31st. Except for blades, I will only buy replacement(s) when something is used up (soap) or breaks (razor or brush).
I wish I have your patience and skills for making up the matching seven-day sets of SR's!!I'm in a similar situation to you. That's why I gravitated to matching seven-day sets of SR's. Buying in bulk allows shipping from China with the likes of FedEx for relatively economical rates.
Patience yes, but not a lot of skill required. I buy new SR's, preferably 7 at a time and hone them up. I have a case made by local furniture manufacturer and have the engraving done by another local laser engraving firm.I wish I have your patience and skills for making up the matching seven-day sets of SR's!!
Brushes: Thankfully, the drama has ended. Synthetics FTW.
