My dear sir, you are absolutely right. The truth is, if you want to be certain you won't buy anything, you don't register in the forum! I hadn't bought anything for 2 years. But since i did register and well, now i have more time to make more lazy shaves than before going to pension, why not play a game! In order to be a game, you mustn't be frustrated. Now that i have all that i need, i don't have to be frustrated. I will be opening new soaps for the next 2 years. Only i bought them while only failing 1 GRUME! The knowledge, says that if you want to stop thinking completely this as a hobby, you don't register. If you do, it changes. And then you must make your own plan. I have mine! Worst case? It fails. At least, it will be a funny way to fail!I enjoyed failing with the photo of the hawk more than i did in any other thread!
It is certainly better than racehorses like you say. But, storage space and wife also have limits!
Now, the easy way out, would be to simply send most of my creams to Burundi. But, i prefer sending them croaps or fresh creams, because they have tropical heat. A cream that i have expired 2 years already, is very probable that would go bad after a month in Burundi. Besides, creams i have that are citrusy, i like very much! So, i go solo Sabbatical! Even better, i will report back in late August. The less you think that you are restraining yourself, the better! Every day you remind yourself that you are in Sabbatical, it is worse! Looking everyday shaving photos doesn't help not wanting to buy either! Why didn't i buy anything in the past 2 years? Because i wasn't thinking about it. I was reading the forum, but i wasn't too much concentrated or taking part in it. This says a lot.How does Stirling Gin & Tonic shaving soap smell like?
I somehow missed your "out" message. I hope that we'll see you in May.
It smells exactly like a G&T with lime. It's a great pick-me-up before dinner on a hot summer day.
or irritation. Took a bit of work to get a good lather, all of my other brands of soap and cream work with my hard water but Noble Otter I find to be very finicky and the only soap I need to use distilled water with but I eventually got it figured out when I remembered the distilled water and eventually got a good slick lather. I got the Kai as part of the participation PIF and they were good but tuggy in my other razor but they are fantastic in the FOCS. I get up to 5 shaves from my favourites, usually 2 or 3 with most blades, so am quite surprised I will be hitting double digits with the Kai next shave.Kai blades are expensive but if I’m getting double the shaves of my other blades, fantastic shaves, it might be worth the extra cost.Gel boar is when you bleach the tips of the hairs to make them soft and broken-in from the get-go. I don't know if manufacturers do this but Neil over at Heritage Collection Shaving does it himself. He gets boar/badger knots and bleaches them to have this gel-like feeling on the face while clumping up when wet.
