I'm in! My September strategy for distracting myself from possible purchases is that it's Big Razor Month, in which I will shave only with my 4 largest razors, in an effort to get as comfortable using them as I am with my small razors.

My wallet cries.
I haven't noticed this before, but sitting here after using my Catie's bubbles "Irish Coffee" and.. I'm getting wiffs of cream and coffee every now and then and its quite nice. Also face is noticeably moisturized w/o having to put in any face cream. This is really nice.. is Catie's Bubbles known for a lingering scent like this or no, I just have a brick for a nose?
 
Tomorrow I will try out my first DE and pre B&B kit…

I’m in. I’ve gone off the rails a little lately. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed entertaining my SAD and HAD habits the last few months. I should be right to take a break now in September to save up for the Black Friday sales.

I'm in for another month. I was going to skip September as there were a couple things I wanted to get before winter, but my legal counsel @SharpieB and @FoolishMortal advised me to make a late night purchase on 31 August and then sign up for September. So here we are!
 
I guess I'm ready for the September festivities. The runup has not been auspicious. September is Big Razor Month for me, when I have resolved to shave only with my 4 largest razors, two kamisoris, two Western.

Yesterday I shaved for the first time with an Erik Anton Berg razor, a 4/8. I'd been looking forward to it. It was the worst shave I've had since I stopped routinely drawing blood. Turned out I had picked up the wrong razor, still a Berg, but not the one I honed, and the edge was just as it came from eBay. I'm honing it now, of course, but it's off limits for September.

Today I shaved with my tiniest razor, a 25mm tamahagane kamisori. The alum complained some. I need to get more used to this razor. Having the heel and toe so close led to some minor mishaps that produced discomfort but no blood. Can't practice any more, though, it's Big Razor month, and this is the most off limits razor of all.

Still, I'm looking forward to grappling with my big razors. If I'm fully comfortable with them by the end of the month, that's enough.

I need this. I fell away from here and was in GR for 5 years. Kinda went nuts again recently. Lol. I’m all loaded up, ready to play by the rules.
