2023 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Year of The Prisoner

[Doc4]

Hi,

And, I'll begin checking folks off the list today for the Final Check-In!

FWIW, I made it through to the end of the year after my one travel-related slip in August.

I know, I know, that's right up there with "I successfully quite smoking three times a day" but I do like knowing that I got back on the horse and finished the ride. Kudos to the guys who actually made the whole year without any purchases!!

I got pretty sad because I'd been thinking about making a batch of hard soap. Then I realized that is buying shave stuff to use.

How do you like that comte?

How do you like that comte?

I do not like it it was too floppy and it knotted up on me. I actually threw it away.
