No Buy 2018

[YMMV]

I have bought quite a few affordable DEs and there are not many left to try. I can only think of the Fatip Slant right now, which has not (yet?) been released.
Also I have found that more expensive DEs do not always live up to the hype. I love my Rockwell 6s, and my ATT S1 and S2 though. I cannot afford to buy a few premium DEs that I would have liked to, just to try them.

When it comes to brushes, so far I am perfectly happy with my 30mm and 26mm synthetics.

Proraso green, MWF, Saponificio Varesino(s), Speick, Tabac are all perfectly good for me. No need to stack any more.

For now...

I am building a base for my brushes that can take up to 6 brushes so as to have an excuse not to buy another or sell one before I buy another.
Sent it so as to be paint, didn't take it back yet but I got another brush.
Without selling another

You must make another base and buy five more brushes. No other possibility.

I just named one a "travel brush"
I am sure, I have read somewhere that now it doesn't count!
Isn't it?

 

[Thug]

Does selling a Fatboy and buying a Karve with the proceeds count?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Tzimisce]

Is there a chance to name it "a travel razor"?

 

[Batch300]

In the wonderful world of Accounting and some imagination, that might be called an "exchange of like property".

Don't worry you're not alone, those Taj bodgers have claimed a few scalps

 

[Thug]

I don't think I've actually done too badly.

2 x Black Eagle brushes and a Karve razor being the sum total of my purchases for the past 6 months.

Oh I must have missed this thread.

You haven't failed.
You didn't want that bodger, you needed it.

Absolute necessary purchases don't count.

It's a great brush, enjoy it.

Six months is an outstanding stretch. Nothing to feel badly about in this purchase. Enjoy your new brush.

I'm too weak, I can hardly last out a month without buying something shaving related, good luck to you who have wills of steel, as for me I have my eye on some soap (group buy ) a mug, not me ,one for drinking from (group buy) and a razor as soon as I can get the money together, a NOS jobby, can say no more just yet! P.

That's not weak, that means you are not a quitter.
