#53 - I am still in - kind of tempted to make a purchase, but a cooler head prevailed. I can make it through the rest of the year. I have such a huge collection of brushes, soaps, creams, shavers, blades, A/S and colognes that I could do fine if I never bought another piece of shaving gear (but don't worry, I won't). I have been really busy at work but I am retiring in a month, then will have more time to post. I am going to take a trip through SE Asia for about 6 weeks beginning around Halloween, so I will not even be home to make impose purchases on line or at Pasteur's. The only item that I really want to buy is a knot for an old brush handle I bought about 10 years ago, so I can do a restore, but I can wait until January for that. I have to measure the old know size with my calipers (never used this kind of tool before) and use my dremel to remove what is left of the old knot (never used this kind of tool before either). So we are over 3/4 of the way through the year. Hang in there fellas!!!

I've been spending money on air guns lately. Bought four in probably as many months.

Set up for today is a simple one. The razor the Mrs. got for me for me this past xmas and the brush she secretly ordered for me before Shavemac closed down the configurator.
The past year or so she had grown fond of just a few combinations and unable to tolerate many scents due to the last drug regimen she was on, and it just so happens this was a favorite of mine as well.
A week ago today she passed onto glory after a lengthy hospice stay on the hospital, and today we have her celebration of life.
She was ready to go and her body was tired, and even though the last week she was with us she was mainly unable to communicate, the loss is very real.
Give your significant other an extra hug today gents.

Sorry for your loss Mike.
She'd have loved how you are going to smell at the service

My condolences to you and your family Mike @midwestshaver71. You state it very eloquently that you celebrated her life knowing that she’s now in a better place. And that doesn’t in any way deny the fact that you have also lost your life companion, your love of your life. I hope you can find comfort and support from your other loved ones. And if not, we are here with virtual shoulders and beer or something stronger to talk and help you through.
Best wishes to you brother.
Hugs,
Guido

My condolences, Mike!
Hi,
So sad to hear this. My heartfelt condolences. I know all too well what you are going thru. My first wife left us early 2008. And my second wife lost her first husband and sends her condolences as well.
