I think I'm broken - there's nothing I want to buy!

Ha, good point!

I did toy with doing a series of blade reviews and keep every other variable the same - but need to acquire the blades. In fact, I shall stick to this idea, as I think it would be a good resource if not just for myself, but perhaps for newbies who are looking out for blade information.

What blades would you be looking for? I can have a rummage and see where I can fill in gaps for you. :)

Thanks buddy :)

I've yet to decide on what to cover, but will be buying a whole bunch of brands from various vendors to ensure I get a good coverage of what is available from UK based vendors who deal specifically in shaving gear...support the small business :)

Can we see a picture of your inventory? I find it hard to imagine that you have everything you (don’t) need :wink:

Ha! I'd need a wide angle lense for sure and space to take it.

I know I could fill plenty of gaps, but have little desire for anything on the razor front (granted, I'd like a Drew Dick custom blade and associated strop/stones), but most other things I've got plenty to fit my needs :)

Only shaving crap I've bought in 2018 has been the Rockwell 6C...

Cheap + Easily Attainable + Very Good = Absolute Winner

Anything else that comes along that matches this combo will find its way to jb7.

The soap lark is madness... too much, will never all get used, f all difference from one to the next in many cases etc. All me Wickhams Super Smooth went off, so lesson learned the hard way there too.

Becoming a miserable git feels good... I own my credit card, it doesn't own me [emoji3]

I've got my soaps down to a selection of manufacturers (P&B, OSP and Wickham) so have slashed my soap buying possibilities there :D I may give some of my others away to make some room.

P&B with the octopus and me Rockwell 6C... after climbing to the summit of my shaving journey, these are the two I have settled on paired with getting my technique to what I think is about 99%.

It's true. The self imposed purchase ban for 2018 (that I've now broken twice) seems to have quelled any real desire to mass purchase any unnecessary items.

Is there a cure for this or am I doomed?

The Wickhams witch doctor can help, but you have to enroll with your credit card details. :okay:

As MPH said, buy a watch. But then join the TZ-UK forum and realise that there's a whole new world out there, just begging for you to fritter away some (or in my case, a stupid amount of) cash. Or if you're one of the Phillistines who are happy with getting the time displayed on their phone you could always take up photography - now there's an opportunity to flex the plastic!

Come on, always there is something to buy!

I will try another Phoenix & Beau, I don't even smell them! I just get them!

But, there is something about these soaps that many of my friends can't understand. How to lather them. I told them, DON'T give it water at once! Dribblets only!

I must begin a class and I will be the teacher. I have reached to a point that my lather I made is for 6 full passes, no air bubbles at all, dense, slick and if I leave the bowl on the kitchens table then definitely an hour later I will think that I forgot the frozen yogurt out of the fridge.
