Am I the only one who has been compensating and rediscovered a hobby of acquiring items for it? I've been doing grip strength training for a long time, but now I feel the need for more handles and new, better grippers. Is compensating this way just another form of cheating?

Sounds to me like 'koopwoede' purchaseanger. It sounds better in Dutch.
It isn't that you need anything it is just that you want to buy something, anything.
I personally wouldn't call it cheating in context of gruyere but at the some time I would not advise giving in to it.

Perhaps, but, the damage is done and I have failed in my mission.I hear you. A Ti Osprey would indeed be an investment I couldn’t explain to the LOTH either... good thing is I'm not into Ti
Let's see where the journey with the ATT will end... the return policy might be your escape pod.
PS: In!
I can still get 11 GRUME months this year...
Maybe, but don't blame yourself.
Sometimes the itch just has to be scratched. The experience made will definitely help you with staying in the GRUME race for the rest of the year.
Before returning the ATT slant, try different blades first. Only today I realised in my Sunday shave that a blade can easily make or break the shave.
Looking at you, Dorco.
Cheers!

And call it a momentary lapse of reason. I might entertain that thought, Bill @WThomas0814 - I had to learn to get into restraint too and Stan @KQY61 was very supportive in 2023/2024, so??
Hi,
Hmmm. I can't say as I recall anyone having returned the item they bought before.....
I'd be OK with someone returning that way. Like they had taken a spacewalk looking for Cylons sticking to the outside of the hull.
Wouldn't that make those Cylons Cling-ons?

Wow... that would be awesome. I am, after all, a recovering addict.
I will defer to the collective judgement.

Restraint can be a tough cookie - especially when diving in head first for the first time without building that restraint muscle.
Someone went for a spacewalk without having the right exception in place. We were able to correct that now! And so a rookie restrainer was brought back on board. He has vowed not to look outside anymore!!

The S1 is going back. With an asterisk, I'm happy to be back in.

Doozy of a negligent mistake today. Cleaning up, fools pass, auto-pilot...almost potato-peeled my bottom lip. Gave myself a deep 4 mm cut under my bottom lip. Thankfully, I reacted quickly and froze! Bled for an hour. Glad it stopped.
Still in, no problem. Pulled out a couple Euro creams and AS splashes. Some of my early choices when I stepped up my DE game and bought the matte Futur in Spring of 2023.
May you all have a good week ahead!

Gentlemen, I must report my failure in a moment of weakness. Yesterday I took my elderly neighbors to a local flea market. While perusing, I spotted a minty Schick G4, the Schick 66 razor. I got it for 8 dollars. I've always admired the blue handle and chrome texture head. So I must depart your brave and valorous ranks.
In!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Still in and a BBS today
Razor: Ever-Ready 1914
Blade: GEM SS PTFE (1)
Soap: PAA Atmotic
Brush: Omega Jade Boar
AS: PAA Atmotic splash

An open door may tempt a saint, after all... and when this door leads to estate sales or flea markets, anything may happen!
Still in, no desire to acquire anything related to shaving.
Welcome to the Darkside.
