Happy Father’s Day to all B&B dads! As a gift, my wife surprised me with an order for a new ‘wish list’ razor. Does that mean I’m out?

Still in

Saw a bakelite offered in a mail. One I would like for my collection.
The sudden rush took me by surprise.
Guess what: I didn't break, even though the image of the razor haunted me a few times.
I am at ease now, the craving gone.
Good shave with the Lea cream. First use. I like it. A lot.
Wierd, huge tube. I don't mind: I like wierd.

Still In, I think? I did receive 2 Tabac pucks from my son, who also wet shaves. I introduced him to it for his birthday last September. The gift was not hinted at, but I think my wife told him that I had been using Tabac lately. I did give him two soaps and two aftershaves, Moonsoaps Havanna and Stirling Executive Man!

I haven't shaved yet today but will post a pic when I do!

I'd say you are good - and a good dad, too!

No shave today, Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all B&B dads! As a gift, my wife surprised me with an order for a new ‘wish list’ razor. Does that mean I’m out?

"2. No personal shaving purchases in the month. Members may purchase shaving related items for others to encourage the hobby/lifestyle (PIF or Gifting). Members are not allowed to request any form of compensation in return, nor are they allowed to sample or test those gift items.

3.a. Gift Cards (including eBay bucks, Amazon gift cards, credit card reward points, etc.) cannot be redeemed for shaving items, even if the cards were purchased and/or received in previous months.
3.b. The "Birthday Rule": Members are not allowed to ask for (or even hint at) shaving gear as gifts for any occasion."

my interpretation of these rules is that you can not buy shaving equipment for yourself or ask for it, but, there is no rule against your wife figuring out by herself what your wish list razors are and buying one for you of her own free will. Therefore you are still in, provided that you did not ask for or hint at wanting that razor as a gift.

in either case, enjoy your new razor

Day 19, 63.3% complete.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #3
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid.

Loaded the MWF as heavily as I could, and got a ridiculous amount of lather. Got a comfortable near-BBS.

The MWF has weighed in at 250g for the last 6 or so shaves. The empty china pot (minus lid) weighs 180g, so the soap is "stuck" on 70g.
