2025 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Battlestar Galactica Year

[Guido75]

Now we are talking.....

One limited edition Semogue is likely all that it takes…although I believe @Balin got one last year already.

And @Balin already has the most limited of brushes - so zero need! He has got this!

I almost signed up. But maybe @ClumsyBull and @Shaun asleep will join.

My Black Friday order from the Goodfellas is still processing, I desperately need these razor stands. Baili BRB3PS and Yaqi Pagoda Mirabilis are next. I was positively surprised by the Yaqi Trifecta and the Suneko blades, even if some seem to be covered in something oily.

I wanted to join with the exception of Lambda razor stands and a block of Cella, but joining for the whole year, I would miss Black Friday sales. No way!

If I could make it all the way to Black Friday 2025, that would be tremendous accomplishment! For starters, I just have to get through January.

Hi,

Um. Shouldn't that be you? And I be Colonel Tigh?

Although, I do have this whitening hair thing going on, but it's not like Lorne Green's....

Of course, you might prefer to be Commander Kane. That was the coolest role on the show!

Either way, time to dump my Prisoner Number Two avatar....

I just figured out why I don't know anything about the theme this year... based on the wikipedia.
I didn't get to watch tv during the first series (1978-1980) due to parents. During the later series it would be hard to watch due to a lack a of a tv. Probably good for me to remain as an outsider and double down on my cookie baking.

Ruckin - still in the decade sabatical and might sign up for the next decade too (without a restock)

I don't need to sign up... the dearth of exciting new releases has already decided that the coming months and years would be pretty dry for me in terms of purchases... of course, let me click on the trifecta that @Iridian has be raving about so much... hmmm

This should be a walk in the park to me, sign me up!

 

[Guido75]

This should be a walk in the park to me, sign me up!

You mean as long as the park or the walk doesn’t include shaving shops, right?

 

[KQY61]

Hi,

Uh, Oh! I have a shaving shop - which I have not done other than drive right on by - in the next town!

Hi,

Is all right. I barely recalled the 24 theme show. I caught on fairly quickly, Swiss Army Knives found!

You can always read the mail of our chatter, beginning with Saga OF A Star World. Which was a full length movie than was then turned into a TV series. Originally, IIRC, it was in response to Star Wars and then morphed from film to show.

And, as I already mentioned, special effects props which were completely real.

[KQY61]

Hi,

I just dug through boxes of DVDs - I have a nice set of shelves and way too many DVDs to fit, so older stuff is boxed up in a closet - and I do have the entire first series. Not large as there were only 24 episodes. And the first season of the second series. I guess that's about when I thought if it as (a) too draggy and (b) wandering too far away from the original story. I didn't get any further seasons. But, I did get a special movie called Razor, which I didn't even recall buying.

If we really get into the second series next year, I'll have to visit eBay.

And, I'll rule ahead of time: The special movie Razor is allowed as a purchase as you can't shave with a DVD or its packaging!

Pure Optimism! Henson are a tech company so I'm expecting an update sooner or later.
