I just realized I've been here 4 years, wow time flies! The only thing I still buy is soaps, but not with the gusto I once did.
So here's something funny. After thinking about how long it's been since I bought shave stuff and posting this, I found out about a great deal on AoS sandlewood pucks. I bought 6. Score. And to go with it I had to get my favorite AS, Saint Charles Shave Sandlewood.
I think that talking about restraint diminishes one's will to exercise it.
Funny how that works! Better stop thinking about big brushes.
