2023 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Year of The Prisoner

Still in and staying strong
Time flies way too fast for me to even think about buying anything new, so it's easy for me so far
Maybe I have everything I need already? Who would think that having a stash full of soaps, collection of different brushes and razors, plus hundreds of blades is enough to shave your face I learn something new every day. This GRUYERE is pure zen for me. Using and enjoying what I have, slowly thinning down my oversized stash one soap at a time. No temptations, even after learning recently that La Toja is discontinued and potentially Mitchell's Wool Fat will be reformulated. It's all good, no worries. I guess in 10 years when I will finish all soaps I already have, most of them will be discontinued 
Stay safe and it's good to still see you here.

Needed a quick shave on a Thursday night, broke out the white Proraso and Colonial general. Got two passes in, lathered with a wetted hand.

Still In GRUME & GRUYERE
I don't see Lather & Wood products on B&B very often but I really enjoy this soap, especially the scent.
I am glad once again to be amongst my fellow GRUMEers and GRUYEREers.
Welcome to all the new guys.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

The little wooden tripod cost $1 at a dollar store
You enabler you!
It's Polish brand Groomen. This aftershave is called Earth, and they have also another one called Fire. It's good, but you don't need it

Gentlemen, I fear I am soon to be crashing my x wing.
MWF is going vegan. The new formula is inferior to the old. I don't know if I believe inventory can last until next year.
Did we do an exception for La Toja, or any of the other discontinued products this year?

Hi,
I don't recall such. Just one for Above The Tie unless it wound up a TreeWhale.... And that was due to their being a B&B vendor.

Lol couldn't help but notice your signature "17 hot dogs?? why not?" whats that about or maybe from? I can.. assuming the regular sized Schneider hotdogs (not sausages or jumbos etc), maybe eat... comfortably 4, prob 6? and be breathing hard? 7-8 and we get into "strong chance of upchuck" territory...

RazoRock Wunderbar razor
Silvermax blade
B&M LGC soap
r/wetshaving Zenith Stirling green brush (B35)
Shavologist Brut Aftershave splash
Excellent shave, great soap and razor combination.
The brush is Break-in smoothly, still eats lather but definitely improving with uses.

Beginning of the week shave, normally these are rushed affairs, but found some time, went back to my RV brush. Its a lovely shave, a nice way to start the week.

Hey guys, I think I'm going to proactively withdraw myself/bump myself out, something used came up and it's in the exact configuration I wanted and I managed to finagle a good/better price. Nothing has arrived yet and I haven't even "CONFIRMED confirmed" yet to even buy anything but... yeh. It's been a pleasure.

Still making my rounds as Warder. I have experienced two digressions - both were razors in my wish list. At present no need for new ones. I am focusing on bringing my soaps down for the remainder of the year.
I have said it before. This restraint has been very informative and changed my views of my hobby. I am closing some rabbit holes and feel good about that.
Cheers to all still in!! Keep it up!!
