My 2026 sabbatical, time to enjoy what I have

... and I forgot to mention Mike's Hungarian Lavender I had a sample of that a couple of years ago from @Mark1966, and liked it, but never got around to following up. ...

2 months down, 10 to go.
Still going strong but I would be lying if I said I wasn't occasionally searching marketplace/eBay for vintage Gillette's.

@LesC how are you coming along?

so far BUT I may weaken for another AD razor, time n budget will tell

I started my wet shaving journey just over 3 years ago, and in that time I have definitely fallen down the rabbit hole.
Whilst I have enjoyed chasing the next soap or hunting down that vintage bargain on marketplace, this year is a time to enjoy what I have.
After all I already have enough to pass down to my children (and likely grandchildren).

So this year is a no purchase year for me.
As many have failed before me I know it will be a challenge so who is with me?

And everytime I find something or get an urge, I need to remember I have enough.

After several years I have ordered 100 each of Kai, BIC Chrome Platinum and Nacet blades and I managed to get hold of a couple each of Amyris shaving soap and cologne that Stirling Soap Co. no longer produce. Currently in the post and just waiting for it to arrive in the next few days. With the blades and other soaps I have it will be another few years before I need to reorder stuff again.
