I wanted to drop in and tell all of you 'Good job'. I tried restraint one year, and failed, but I can certainly cheer you fine people on!
2024 Shave Purchase Sabbatical - The Year of MacGyver
- Thread starter Guido75
- Start date
Still in. Haven't posted anything about my last two shaves. Tonight I decided to forego the open blade so I just did two quick passes with my CF Legacy razor. Lather was Stone Cottage Soapworks.
Another day, another "in". 
Cheers!

For those newer members who don't know who or what a "Treewhale" is here you go.
From the wiki:
Treewhale: A verb meaning, to succumb to various acquisition disorders and purchase exorbitant amounts of products covered in the auspices of Badger and Blade for the purposes of gentlemanly indulgence. Usually multiple treewhaling events follow with quick succession.
And the haul from @treewhale buying spree that put him out of the Sabbatical back in 2013. I guess if you're going to go out you might as well go out big.

My guess is that guy must think he’s going to live forever. That’s a lot of stuff!
Hi,
That was a fall-out of such magnitude that it has become a thing of legend!
I never drop out because I'd have to try and top that, and I am seriously daunted.

It was the year of Gentlemanly Insanity, so who knows. There was a few shenanigans going on that year.
Still in.
Not bad, for an abstinence year.
Hi Stan, love your avatar. I grew up a huge Prisoner fan. Have the boxed DVD set (if only I still had a DVD player!).Hi,

I hear Nolan will be doing a movie of it.

The funny thing is, he never signed up and was never in the Sabbatical. He joined unofficially in June and went "out" a week later.
He continued to buy like mad and the name took off.
I didn't to know that. I just assumed he had been in the sabbatical since the beginning.

The scent from this soap & aftershave is utterly sublime! The shave wasn't bad either
and the Merkur Progress was excellent as ever.
