Hey Guys
Today is my birthday! No big plans but the picture gives a hint to NEXT year's age. I am also using my birth year razor.

Happy Birthday Dan, @iver! 🎆 🎊
Please take care of yourself and each other.
 
So, my xwing is getting full. Or, I may have done a thing. You could say that I am crashing this plane with no survivors.

It started with purchasing the MWF. That was what put me out. And to be completely fair I would do that again,

Not pictured is the one in my shower that I use for shaving. Again, that there has me set up for soap for the foreseeable future.

But then, since I was already out, I saw a good deal on Afta preshave, which may have been discontinued. So I got some.

My wife found a great deal on my favorite super balm...

Then I finally got around to reading about Bootlegger's...

I also tried them

Most of the ingredients were easy to get, so I got a lot of them.

Unfortunately, some have been discontinued. I had my eye on some Master's, and got the last know big container available in the world, that I know of.

I wanted to try some bootleggers tobacco aftershaves, but the crucial ingredient is vitos colinia tobacco, a product that has been unobtanium for 5 or so years. this took a little longer to track down. my efforts were rewarded (see what i did there??).

In all I don't really regret any of it. i will say that anyone who says their ADs are under control is lying.
Hi,

Yep. X-wing is not a cargo ship. You should have found a YT-1300 instead. Maybe with an actual cargo pod attached to the front of it. ;)

Hi gentlemen, I'm not in the restraint this year, but still not out. I just finished off a tub of Stirling Faskally a few days ago and had a good shave with B&M Leviathan this morning. I'll probably be out pretty soon as I have my eye on a few things. However, with home projects taking up most of my spending cash these days those desired items will most likely languish in my cart and not get purchased.
 
It took me five tries but I finally had a serviceable shave with a single edge razor, Schick Type-C open comb. Blade was a yellow shick, I think. That might seem pretty minuscule to your daily schick shavers. I was quite happy since most of my DE shaves are great but my single edge shaves are terrible. Just thought I'd share it with the group. I hope all of you are having a great day.

Hi,

So. if you are Not In, but don't buy then you are Virtually In. ;)

I suppose if you then buy you are Virtually Out?

Anyway, good job with being In with the Play From Home game.

Hi,

I am being tempted!

Over in the Slantember thread....Dapper Dan stuff. Which, I always thought was a movie prop....


Here is the latest such post.

I replied I could not, being in the Restraint and the Leader and all.

But, if it were called Dapper Stan......

Stan - Still In

Lol you are human! ( just teasing )

Put it on your re-stock list and then lose the list so you don't dwell on it!

I think that was my error this year 🤣.

Hey Guys
Kathy and I started sketching this month. This was my subject yesterday.
Most days we go outside and sketch in nature. We both use fountain pens.
"Rose" Monday is great because it is my only MdC soap. The result was a DFS+++.
Please take care of yourself and each other.
