Here are the pics from my Friday 13th away mission that led to my demise....

To be fair though the Wolfman was my exception!

I do have some Gillette Rubie's on their way but I couldn't wait any longer to post!

I appreciate that my own Tabac hoarding lead to your stepping down from the sabbatical. But in my defense, it was completely unintentional.

For those still in, I applaud your effort.

Lol, it was my own fault. I bought my first jar of Tabac in late December to prepare for ShaveTrek but neglected to use it until Feb or March and loved it!

It's now one of my favorites!

I hope all who remain succeed! I plan to join again next year!

( I think I have enough Tabac now to make it through a year! )

 

[elmo_koffman]

I'm sad to admit that I'm out. An auction for Razorock Gamechanger .84 was too hard to resist. Now I have ambivalent feelings as tears of shame roll down my flawlessly shaved face It was a good time and I really hope to see you here next year.

[ShavingPanda]

Still in! Enjoying what I have. Two trades so far. A couple items I'd like but no rush as I have lots of gear, although Eleven's amber, oak, patchouli might cause an issue as it's discontinued.

I have been working on my sample stockpile. What I thought would take a month has taken several months with more to go. Amazing how long some smooshes of soap can last!

With trying samples, I am appreciating the artisan super fatted soaps when I have time but also appreciating the classics that lather quickly and easily.

 

[Crisp Rat]

Still in, but struggling. Saw 5 (or 6) vintage razors in antique shops on Saturday that I would have loved to bring home. I didn't, but they have all been swirling around in my head since then.

Hi,

Yeah, the old razors seen in the wild are my most difficult to restrain from buying.

Stan - Still In

 

[Benoni]

And I'm out, finished my Zingari Splash and soap recently. My skin has noticeably improved after using the sego base and recovery splash so I had to restock. Will try and show restraint for the remainder of the year but with this, I'm formally out for 2022..

Dang, but hard not to if a noticeable improvement of the skin was observed. The sego base is

Hi,

Aw, poo. Hmmmm. Can a Commodore say 'poo'?

Don't get me wrong, I like poo. Or, should I say my plants like poo. Cow poo the most. And we have a few cows and one big old bull I named Hamburger when he was born about 15 years ago. And, that Boy can Poo, believe me! He's not ever going to become hamburger. By now he's so tough even a meat grinder won't help. Gonna take both the Bulldozer and Tractor/Loader/Backhoe to put him in the ground when the time comes. Did I mention he's One Big Boy?

[kjbarth]

Still in. Yesterday's shave.

 

[kjbarth]

I have a question and am pretty sure I know the answer and that I'm ok. But I'm an honest person and will ask anyway. I signed up for a pass around for a shaving item. No $$$ exchanged, I didn't purchase anything. But, it's something new that I didn't have before. I checked the rules and the restraint Wiki and saw nothing that stated that items in pass arounds were against the rules. I haven't received it yet. Am I ok to continue?

 

[KQY61]

Hi,

You are OK. The key is: No $$$ exchanged.

Stan

 

[ShavingPanda]

Just avoid any temptation a pass around may create though!

 

[KQY61]

Hi,

Yes. There is that!
