Ok, two years of restraint down, now on for the trifecta. Still 3017ing my puck of PdP No 63 - about 3/4 left - lets see if I can finish that this year and then work on the remaining stash.
2020 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - Those Daring Men with their Jaunty Razors & Jalopies
- Thread starter Pepin
- Start date
How long do you think it takes to 3017 a puck of PdP #63? It seems bottomless.
My hope for this year is to finish off 2 partial soaps and to have started a 3rd by the end of the year. It's hard to guesstimate how many aftershaves I'll finish off. Maybe 3?
First shave of the year down.

SOTD: 
Razor: Fatip Ulivo
Blade: Timor (3)
Brush: APShaveco SynBad
Soap: PdP No.63
Aftershave: Figaro Monsieur Ambra
EDT: 1939 Fiat 1500B
Today was the first shave of the New Year. Everything went well about it. It was a one pass wtg shave, and the Timor paired with my Fatip Ulivo was very efficient. The scent of PdP No.63 is captivating. The more I use it the more I find it a tease. It's almost as good as SV, so much so that I want to use an SV soap just to get that little extra edge. PdP is a fine soap. It's a keeper though, especially when compared to lesser soaps I have.
I'm feeling confident about going into the 2020 Shave Sabbatical. I'm stocked beyond belief in all categories and varieties of shaving accoutrements. The only thing stopping me is my own desire. Last time I lasted about a week. We shall see. If I were a betting man, I'd bet against me. This is something I really want to do though. For myself and for my own good.

There is a long road ahead. All the traffic lights will not be green. There might be detours. We'll still get to the end of the journey, though.
Thank you.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a first step..."
The first step was very pleasant - including: Shavemac Ebonite 25/50 Pure Badger, Southern Witchcrafts Valley of Ashes, Karve Gladius 3'' (D-Plate) with a Feather (7th use), Clubman Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum, Hiram Green Hyde - and I'm ready to enjoy every single mile.

Or you can trade some of your stuff.
Good luck gents and gals.

What were you planning to use to shave your head?
First shave with 3 days worth, PAA Ascension turned 1/4, nacet#7, Stirling Mita,Omega pro, cool water balm for the lady. 3 pass, somewhere between a Karve b sb and a c sb with a feather.
This sabbatical would have a lot more appeal if I was indeed traveling around the world...with Natalie Wood...and I got to fight some Euro-trash guy in the Balkans with a dueling sabre...but here I am.
In Ohio. And no Natalie Wood in sight. And I don't even seperate my whites from my colors for laundry...

This is awesome. Kids looking at me weird from laughing so loud. Thank you.
Project #1 for the year - evaluate my new Mamba to decide whether to keep it. So far I've used it a few times and it doesn't outperform my Tech.
