Still in. First shave in a while other than neck trimming my beard. Shaved most of my 4 month beard this morning, leaving a longish goatee. 2 passes with my Towa and I wiped away 4 months of facial fur.

It has been a while but still in. Recently tempted by a Gillette new type on the bay (my exception), but the selling price was way to high for me.
After 2 extra shaves with the Muhle R41 it was time to use the FOCS again.

" Love me more than "shaving".
I hope our day is not "boaring"!
I know it's natural and not "synthetic".
and I promise not to "badger" you today.
you will always be my DFH (Damn Fine Husband)..."
to a special wife. She is a DFW.
Tuesday I forgot the Tallow Tabac gang, so I am pulling a 'Guido Scheme' (@JAHE) to continue my fellowship. I added a few swirls of Tabac to my TOBS cream.
.
The first pass with the Hawk (using the newer blade) was easy peasy. The DX was mostly for touch ups and a DFS finish.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

I don't quite get what you are asking. Can you be more specific, please?
Still in, but today was kind of a recess day so far. An excellent Karve CB showed up on BST, I stumbled on a website that sold the Green Cult 1.0 and I just spotted a Rocca on a local fleabay site. All razors I have on my wish list for consideration next January…pfff…
Breathe in breathe out. In through nose and out through mouth.
Still in!

Just go home to your comfy bachelor pad #44.
Be seeing you.
Another lazy (no stropping, honing, touch up hones required) shave.

Many moons ago, when I was whistfully eying some random sale item that I was convinced I HAD to have, my dad imparted some wise words: "there will always be a sale somewhere else tomorrow"

Truth.
So we're talking about making a razor, not buying a razor. That's an interesting quandary. Just my personal opinion, but as long as you don't have to purchase any materials or equipment to create the razor it should be fine.
