Looks like I'll only need to buy a couple styptic pencils, an alum block, and a few disposable cartridges and I'll be set.

I failed in 2016 when I bought a handle from my brother who started making them (it was $4 because I just bought the resin block--but it put me out). Since I was already out, I also bought a Razorock Hawk. If I don't get more blades for Christmas, that's the only thing I plan to buy before this starts.
 
All I need to restock in the next couple weeks is a handful of Kai DE's for my ATT Slant and various artist club SE blades for my Colonial General and Feather SS.
 
Not in, because I only keep what I need for a couple of months on hand these days and therefore actually run out of shaving stuff occasionally. With Christmas on the way, I also don't want to spend a bunch of money on shaving stuff for myself. However, I am looking forward to witnessing the coming zombie apocalypse as people fall by the wayside, succumbing to evil temptation. :devil:
 
Hi,

Yup. Because No Exception tends to mean Stop Looking. ;)

Stan

I'd agree with this. What got me in this years restraint is I looked - and then I bought a Razorock Hawk, follow by a Schick L and a Colonial General.
 
During my tenure leading quarterly restraints, I've noticed someone with no exceptions is more likely to complete the restraint successfully. This is purely just my casual observation, though.

:sailor:

Interesting. Do you stop looking all together? By that I mean, do you stop checking in to B&B? or just the BST, Vendor sites?

Good question. For me I have such a satisfying kit I just have no desire to hunt for anything else. My Tech/NEW Hybrid + Haslinger Schafmilch + Rudy Vey brush is all I'll ever need. The only vendor sites I ever check are the ones where I restock my Haslinger and razor blades, and that's only when it's getting time to restock which is only once a year now.

But I'm on B&B almost daily and enjoy it a lot. I'm just not here to search out the latest 'n greatest anymore. Although I do enjoy reading about other people's finds/reviews/searches/etc. I mostly post and/or read about coffee and Scotch these days - two thoroughly enjoyable rabbit holes on their own.

As a matter of fact, I'm enjoying a nice dram of Talisker 10 as I write this post... cheers!

Coffee and whiskey!! Two other things I enjoy. I'll join you with a glass of Pendleton.
 
Hi,

In my case, I stop just short of not checking into B+B. So, no BST, no vendor sites, no Epay, and no looking at sources mentioned in the various posts. And, even with all that, I have friends who make sure I hear about stuff. The PAA slant, for example, and last week a uber rare all sterling silver Gillette Old Type that was up for sale (and I did not get)...
