2022 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - Shave Trek Season 2

[KQY61]

Hi,

I have updated the crew roster with those who I haven't seen check-in as: Out.

If I missed a check-in, or anyone is a few days away from a belated check-in, just post and I'll move you back up to the In crowd.

That'd be 13 of the crew. On Friday the 15th. Hey! Friday! You are the 15th, not the 13th! Sheesh....

[Invicta]

I have updated the crew roster with those who I haven't seen check-in as: Out.

I was wondering when this was going to happen. They should have walked the plank seven days ago (rule 9).
I believe crewman #23 Benoni has checked in on 8th April but crewman #25 Lee93 failed on 9th April.

 

[md1234]

Sorry forgot to check in, life has been busy. Still in if you will have me lol

 

[KQY61]

Hi,

I have been extending timeframes a bit this year. So, I gave the check-in until the 15th. And, I'll make those corrections to my list. And, I'll count md1234 as just sneaking in.

And, I did see the latest out and just plain failed to update the list.

[ruckin]

Still out. Actually I never was in. I chose to not join in case I bought some waster stones. I did buy two and have been using them on the kitchen knives but the year is young and I am unsure if I will seek to try one on one of my straights. So I mostly just sit at home and play the home version. So far I have 1145 shaves on a brick of Vitos extra coco. I split it into three chunks and am just a few days of finishing off chunk number 2. My hope is that this time next week I will be on the "home" stretch. I also have 58 other unopened soaps so it is likely that I will have enough soap to get me through the end of this year, and the next and the next, and the next...

I should note that the dark side does have excelent cookies in case you are on the fence of staying in/out.

 

[Smooth and Sharp]

Feeling lonely on my deck

 

[KQY61]

Hi,

Maybe the lost crew are just in a Jefferies Tube somewhere.....

[Heron]

Still in. Every day is a new record for how long I've lasted in a yearly purchase sabbatical. And the contributors' brush I was saving until I broke the record is excellent.

 

[Pepin]

The list of red-shirts is growing. Must find a way to save them from destruction.

 

[AZBronco]

I've been working on using the same soap for the past month. It's developed a good sized donut, so I think I'll still with it for another month or so until it's all gone.

 

[ADudeAndHisDogs]

I’m still here. I haven’t bought anything. Hope I’m not too late.

 

[KQY61]

Hi,

Yeah. A tad tardy here. And, I had an extended check-in period. But, better late than never, I say. Just a few days, so I returned you to the roster as Lost On The Lower Engineering Deck.

The starships are rather large. Easy to get lost on, I suspect. Unlike, say, an X-wing.

Seriously, I was a civilian contractor who did a lot of DoD work and was always lost! Bases are bad, everything looks the same. The worst was on a aircraft carrier. Danged mazes, those are.

Hi,

Yeah, that 22 Contrib brush I got is excellent. No need for another brush for a long while, if ever.

Sounds like Hospitals. I’ve been lost in hospitals in 8 different states at last count. I was in one hospital that to get to the 5th floor in building A you had to go to building B and take an elevator to the 3rd floor, walk back to bldg B and take another elevator from the 3rd floor to 5th floor. No direct elevators in the building from 1st to 4th or 5th floors.

 

[kjbarth]

Still in. I think I missed posting a shave or two but definitely no purchases. Yesterday's shave - Used a vintage (I don't know, 1910's, 20's, 30's???) L'essor SE razor similar to a Henckels Rapide, GEM SE blade with plastic wedge, B&B Contributors 2020 brush, MWF, Floid MV A/S, Stirling Ramblin Man EdT.

 

[MuhleShaver]

I feel there's a Klingon conspiracy afoot aimed at reducing our numbers! Stay vigilant people - they appear as coveted shaving gear to lure you in and then...vaporize you.

 

[MuhleShaver]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's shave as I haven't removed stubble since Friday.
#51 still in.

Lived and worked on one for 3 years and still didn’t know my way around…

 

[Thomas Darkblade]

#33 still in. I forgot about the checkout, I'm not sure if it is too late now.

 

[byDoms]

#34 still in. Sorry, I have been pretty busy over the past weeks and forgot to checkin… too busy to look around for new soaps or other shaving stuff, so still doing
