I'm amazed at the pull I feel to buy stuff...even after I get a perfect shave with what I have. The fight continues!
Today's shave...in a word...perfect!

2021 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - Shave Trek
- Thread starter Pepin
- Start date
I have changed my mind about the sharpness of this blade. One careless pass this morning with what I perceived as a less than sharp blade resulted in three small nicks. In point of fact, these things are very sharp, they are just so smooth that you don't really notice how sharp they are. Still a great shave today with Shark Super Stainless(2) and Vitos soap.
That's a very underappreciated scent - good on you!
Still in no temptations !
@Its just me Ash
I'm also new to wet shaving (proper) and I have done enough splurging in December month, last year on soaps to last me a few years.
If you have enough shave supplies, then it is a good time to work on technique.
I'm getting good shaves, when I switch the items and I'm back to atrocious shaves.
Purchasing new shave items will make us feel good for a few hours on one or two days, but good technique will help us feel good all day long for weeks (until we suffer a bad shave).
Make someone your GRUME buddy and share your urges before you go ahead with any purchase.
I know I'm struggling every day with all the things that I want (not need), good luck with your self discipline.
Today's SOTN :5/10
Razor : RR Game Changer OC 84
Blade : Gillette 7 O'clock Black (2)
Brush : Omega 10098
Soap : Trigodon Wild Seas
A/ S : Alum Bloc and Anherb ASC

I just realized I don't see you on the crew members list, did you miss the ship or your on a different shuttle?
I re-enlisted just before we left the space port. Maybe I was in a Jeffries tube during the last roll call?

if you are hung up in the transporter I'm pretty sure Scotty can get you back.
Hi,
Yep. Scotty hung himself up in a transporter loop at one point. He knows that thing, all right!
Stan - Still In

Still in with my Shark Super Stainless(4). I shaved with Tabac. No aftershave or lotion on my neck today. I love the post shave experience with Tabac. Tabac Rocks!
