2022 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - Shave Trek Season 2

Still in. Today's shave. Very nice. Nice and smooth. 2 days growth. I decided to do a 2 pass straight shave today for the first time in a looooong time. I'm regaining my confidence so thought I would try again. Glad I did.

Hi,

I found you. All too easy as I move folks lower on the list when they fall out. The Still In list is short enough these days to readily find anyone on it.....

Stan
 
Checking in.

No temptations so far. Between a new baby and a new job, I have no time to think about shaving. Actually, I have to be as quick as possible in the morning, so I switched to a DE and a boar brush. Since I am probably abusing my brush, I will skip using my exception (badger brush). After all, my beloved Simpsons 59 resides in the cabinet these days.

All that being said, I still love my shaves. Simple, economical, effective. I'm using a couple of sticks currently, switching between Tabac and Speick, that were usually reserved for travelling.

I killed a tub of Cella during the summer, plus a generous sample of SV tundra artica that a friend gave me last year. I also used 2/3rds of a D.R.Harris puck but, I 've had enough of it and will probably PIF the rest (or relegate it to shower duties). I might succeed in killing an ASL as well until the end of the year. My Pitralon Classic and my Speick are running low.

Good luck everyone for the last quarter! #10 still in.
 
Q3, #52 still in.
I managed to transition to Tabactober very well, finishing up a soap, splash and scent all around the same time. My puck of soap is the old tallow formula, and it truly lathers beautifully, I'll definitely miss it once it's done.

Congratulations to all still in, we're in the home stretch.

Frag: 3 (Gravity, I believe it's a Dana product. Quite forgettable, and really I'll stop using them altogether once done), Coty preferred stock, and a no name Farenheit knock off
Soap: 4 (Fedrihan Robusto, Proraso green cream, Anne Bonny croap, Stirling Grapefruit w/ menthol)
Splash: 6 (Leviathan, Anne Bonny, witch hazel, Aramis, Midnight Stag, Pinaud Citrus Musk)
