MOAMC - The Mother of All Mail Calls

[N6GQ]

The "MOAMC" - The Mother of All Mail Calls, haha. So this isn't just November, its October as well, but I finally got around to finally taking a picture of it all.

The razors, from left to right:
Tatara Masamune
Rex Ambassador
Rex Konsul
Pearl Flexi
Razorock Game Changer .68
Razorock Game Changer .84
Leaf
Leaf Thorn
Gillette Slim
Gillette Fatboy
Rockwell 6C

The rest should be relatively straightforward.

Of course there are probably about 1000 blades in my cupboard that I didn't list here, a few hundred of each of the popular types (Astra, PermaSharp, etc) and a good number of others as well. Also many Stirling samples - I really like the Stirling products overall as some of the best value in shaving.

I'm relatively new to wet shaving but shave my face and head daily. Before all of this I was a Mach3+Cremo guy, and still use those when I travel internationally so I don't have to carry the stuff involved, but at home I enjoy the time and process involved in taking my time and enjoying the ride.

Thanks for reading, blessings to my shaving brothers, and most importantly, look up!

Well I’d say this qualifies as Treewhale status! Might even surpass it!

I have a tendency to go "all in" in hobbies I like This happens to be one of them. Others include espresso, fast cars, metal detecting, and the list goes on. Probably should slow down a bit haha. Cheers, brother.

 

[SharpieB]

Holy crap. Nice!

@N6GQ , you might be able to get your shaving and espresso needs met by Stirling, but they might not have the automotive and metal detecting supplies you crave.

Enjoy your top-tier shaving toys and fragrances. Very great looking selection there

Thank you so much... I'm feeling a bit better about my Sept to early November razor purchases. When we left for Bali on August 23rd, I only had a few of the same razor, i.e., the ESC Claymore Evolution. I also had three Vintage Gillette razors at Back Roads Gold for Chris Spencer to replate.

My wife had a very good jewelry haul while we were in Bali and that prompted my modern razor purchases. Counting the 4 I have en route at the moment, I added 13 razors since September. All of them are pre-approved by well established B&B regulars, thankfully. I haven't tried them all yet, but so far, the ones I have used are stellar.

That is quite a haul, and lots of great choices.

I agree that Stirling is a top-tier soap and great value. Other than my MdC, I could happily use Stirling as my lone soap. I particularly like the Barbershop scent.

...and I see that I am not the only one that packages his Stirling samples in individual zip-loc baggies.

 

[BigJ]

WOW!! Terrific haul!!

 

[BobbyB]

That is enough hardware and software for several years of shaving. I would not know how to store it effectively.

 

[Whisky]

Great PIF! I'm in, I'll even pay for shipping.

 

[Mike M]

So I take it you'll be in December's GRUME then

 

[losing]

I'm in

 

[N6GQ]

So I take it you'll be in December's GRUME then

What is that?

 

[BudgetShaverGuy]

Me: What about love?

Al: Biochemically no different than buying large quantities of soaps, razors, and aftershaves

 

[Mike M]

What is that?

Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End it's to help those who've fallen down any number of rabbit holes helping people to give up buying shaving gear on a month by month basis. Think AA for shavers

Ahhhhh! Yes, that may be something in my future!

 

[Mike M]

Ahhhhh! Yes, that may be something in my future!

We've all been there or are going there and not everyone manages it, just ask @Guido75 and @lasta
I've dropped out of a few GRUMEs myself, but at the moment I seem to have a handle on my buying

Sweet Jesus!
Did you rob Pasteurs?

 

[ShortRound131]

It’s ok you’re saving money lol kinda… very nice!

 

[cryhavoc]

Wow, way to really Treewhale it! You spent more on razors alone than I've spent period in the last 5 years. I suggest joining us in the December GRUME.
