The bulk of my re-supply has arrived. My focus is on soaps that I know I like and some that I have heard a lot about but have never tried. I am now well stocked with Proraso Red and Arko that I have always enjoyed and miss when I don't have them. I added a puck of Mitchell's Wool Fat. I also received a kilo of Cella. I am fascinated by the prospect of cutting some off to use and storing the rest. I will figure that out over the weekend and I can always find someone who wants it if I don't like it.. I got a bottle of Thayers Witch Hazel Balm, Captains Choice Bay Rum, and Captain's Choice Balm. I already have Proraso Red and Green in the barber's size. Should be good to go for consumables. On impulse, I bought a tiny Omega brush for $7.00. I don't recall the model number but I think it is called Mighty Midget. How far wrong can I go for $7.00?
I am good to go for the year ( and likely beyond). Approaching 51 more weeks without buying, I know that I can commit to getting the most out of different razor and blade combinations, focusing on technique, and seeing what appeals to me about a soap. I know that I like boar and synthetic brushes so I can spend the time to see why I like one over another. Last year was a good experience in looking at what I have acquired and what I "need". The resupply was welcome and my wife says I was like a kid at Christmas when the supplies arrived. I am fortunate to be able to afford anything I want to spend money on but I want to be able to do so with some sense that I thought about and made a decision that has some basis in logic. Good luck to all for the coming year. I will confess that I have never seen Star Wars so I am at a loss to recognize much of the theme but the objective is still worth pursuing.
