No doubt in the not-too-distant future I'll be ordering some Mystic Waters & Mike's Natural, as well as a good-sized QCS order for some shampoo bars and assorted shave goodies ($60 free shipping is a foregone conclusion).
But... I promised myself a reward - something extra special I wouldn't normally think of ordering - if I made it through the entire year. Aside from the B&B brush, I did just that. 2012 is in the books. All hail the conquering hero. And in the immortal words of Cliff Clavin...God bless the U.S. Postal Service!

Nice Price! You went all in. That is definitely a reward. Is that the glass bowl?
Very nice purchase Price...it looks incredibly classy!
You are in for a treat with MW and Mikes as well.

Actually, I think it's billet aluminum. It really is a work of art.
Oh la la. That is nice.
Oh yeah! I had C&S 88 and Oxford and Cambridge in my cart but put them back. Let us know how you like them.
I'm guessing AOS performance with better scent?
Nicely done!

I got travel pucks of each from Garry a while ago. Both are top-notch performers, but the O&C may just be my favorite scented shave soap ever. My little puck is down to a shallow ring in the bowl, so I was definitely going to pick up a full-sized puck. The bowl was my over-the-top reward.
OOooooooooooooo.
Impressive, Price. That's going on my list for 2014.

So i am not the only one keeping a list of stuff to purchase after the sabbatical.
Already added this one as a possibility.

It's been four days, man. Use your head!
Good news is that I'll be culling the herd of soft goods during the course of this Sabbatical via the 3017 thread policy of using something til you use it up. If I don't WANT to use it up, it's getting PIF'd (probably here where it may go to someone desperate for it) to clear out the den.

not sure if this was directed at me, but am I not allowed to have a Wish List? could be used next week, next month or next year.
i see nothing wrong with noting products that may be of interest in the future

Actually it's one of the three that I already have, Valobra, Irisch Moos and Arko. There's also a Tabac stick up by my parents, but that is two hours away.

Ah, the perils of the written word...
I meant, "Use your head! You've got to start thinking about what you're going to try come 2014."
Never too soon to do that.
got it...sorry Jay. My list is always on the go, sabbatical or not. when i see an interesting product, shaving or otherwise, i note it so i won't forget.
2y on here, and i have never seen the C&S that Price purchased and it's one i do not want to forget

Yessir. I use Evernote, and had already clipped the image into my "To Try" folder before the pixels were dry on Price's post.
darnit....i always forget about evernote, my wife uses it all the time. much better then my text list on my phone.
i just checked and i had used it a few times for other B&B stuff (bob farvour & RV handles etc). time to start a new section "Wanted" or "To try" as well.

Just started using Evernote myself a few months ago. So far I like it and recently started using it to transfer pics from my phone to my computer wirelessly.
Off topic, but best use of Evernote:
Whenever you see something SWMBO might like, clip it if you're online, take a snapshot and clip it if you're in the real world. My default folder is "Gift Ideas for SWMBO". You'l thank me when anniversaries, St. Valentine's Day, birthdays, Christmas, etc., roll around.
I stick a "Bought" tag on them when I buy them so I don't get the same great idea twice.
