Might get back into straights it's been years..I still have an old Dovo somewhere in storage...we'll see. Other than that some Czech and Speake soap as Proraso seem to have run off with all Valobra's stock.

Forgot I already have the Enoch and Hiram on order, as well as the TNNSER. And I have some nice vintage ones on their way (Famex, Swing, Bohin, Gillette ABC, strivel).
So, I have probably already spent my budget for the next decade

I'd like to get hold of another DG Milksteak soap. Sadly the first one I bought reacted to my skin.
There's a couple of soaps (Southern Witchcraft being one) I might buy but frankly I'm left disappointed by most of them.
I know I'll be buying more unscented ones next year.
My main goal is giving Straight Razor shaving another go. I've been thinking about this for sometime now. I know @Wayne brought up the topic up a little while back too.
I've been speaking (hassling more like) @Dr Watson of late about it too.
Finding a nice SR is a minefield.

Finishing off a few nearly gone creams and soaps, after that I will allow myself to buy some more bits...
In terms of software I have got a few of trips to the US in the diary for next year so I'm thinking of picking up some PAA and SW soaps & splashes whilst out there, closer to home there is the new P&B soap base on the horizon which is also of interest.
In terms of hardware my recently discovered preference for AC-SE razors and the acquisition of the Blackland Vector means I shall probably not be buying any more razors anytime soon, and I have a small selection of decent synth brushes that I'm also very happy with.

Lots of good affordable one's on the Bay Rob, just take your time and find a nice Solingen round point to ease back in. You are going to have to get it honed anyway just find one with a good edge and is still in good nick with little pitting and you will be fine.

Thanks Wayne. As mentioned I've been discussing SR choices with @Dr Watson over the last few weeks.
I'Il get Christmas out the way first then the serious search is on.

I think I'm done. Happy with what I have and won't run out of anything for years. I always keep an eye out for an interesting vintage brush.

No wants, just needs. Need to off load some soaps, some brushes and the odd razor. Less is fast becoming more here.
