Ship's log; 85% of the mission complete, all ahead flank speed.
Greetings from earth, question for the crew members. I'm in preparation for the 2022 trip, any advice on this? Best to indulge a bit during the last months before launch?
I'm sure you will receive better advice from individuals with a lot more experience than me, but here goes... If there are items you will need to get through the year, buy them now and have enough for the entire year. If there's something you think you may want later but don't want to buy now, plan to use it as your exception to avoid having it trip you up later; that way if you really really want to get it and can't wait until the restock period, you can exercise your exception and continue. And don't be afraid to lean on your fellow sabbatical/restraint participants for support as you will undoubtedly be faced with several temptations along the way. Good luck.

Have more of everything than you think you need.
Double the above.
Read the rules.

Stock up on William's Mug Soap.
I'm still acquiring food. The 13 x 13 x 13 size boxes from Amazon are perfect. They hold 48 cans of food. I fill some of that space with rice, pancake mix, and other things. Realistically, a box holds a 10-day supply of 2,200 calories a day. I don't eat meat, which makes things easier. I could improve the mix by cooking beans from scratch.
I mostly shop at Walmart for canned foods because it's much less expensive.
A stack three boxes wide, three boxes deep, and three boxes high holds 270 days of food. I have about 16 boxes full now. I may as well go for the 36 boxes needed for a year.
Still in and no temptations.
Still in and no temptations. I have even removed the Goatee for No Shave November. What can I say, I am a rebel!
Still in. Decent shave today. I’m not sure why but I just don’t seem to get along with the AC blades. I love how nimble the Vector is. But, my face is always a bit tender after using it. Not sure I’ll be hanging on to it much longer. Might be tempted by a trade for a timeless .68 scalloped baseplate with a smooth top cap and 85mm barber pole handle 
. Who knows 
Have a great day y’all!

Hi,
I am on a re-do of my ham radio gear and so have no money left over for shaving stuff.

Need to get a ruling. I think I’ll be in the clear, but wanted to check with the group first. It’s getting into the cold dry months where I’m from, and I’m considering getting a face moisturizer, personally I don’t think that would put me out. But I wanted to get other opinions before I make a decision. I’m making sure to not get an aftershave balm, got plenty of those already, this would strictly be a face moisturizer. Thanks y’all! Stay strong only a month and a half remaining!
I think that is a general skin moisturiser which is okay; good for the hands too.
Ship's log; not long now to completion of the mission.Cheers. Thanks mate. I figured as such, wanted to make sure I didn’t do something shtoopid and blow it this close to the finish line!
Hi,
OK in your case. But not in my case. This, because I use Lubriderm lotion as an after shave. Pretty much only for that. I use Udder Balm on my hands, which works better than anything else for hands. Too much oil and grease here on the farm, and that means cleaning with diesel fuel, then GoJo then Dawn. Poor old things need help on a daily basis!

Still in. Tried a Derby blade again and still have no luck with them. Tossed after one shave. Happy Holidays everyone!

Cane? I'm Able!
In, with firm resolve. I am ready for next year as well with no need for resupply!
I’m still hanging in there. I definitely need a few soaps and maybe I’ll pick up a new brush during the restocking period.
Hi,
I'll not be restocking either. I'll just copy over my blades exception from this year since I didn't need it, but might next year.
