New Years Shaving Resolutions!

[velvetgoldmine]

Here're mine:

1. I WILL NOT APPLY ANY PRESSURE!

2. I WILL COMPLETELY FINISH MY EXISTING SUPPLY OF SOAPS BEFORE BUYING ANY MORE!

What are your resolutions?





Actually, strike No.2

[Dharion]

I won't toss a product just because the first test failed.

2. I WILL COMPLETELY FINISH MY EXISTING SUPPLY OF SOAPS BEFORE BUYING ANY MORE!:lol::lol::lol:

[mdunn]

i will try, if at all possible, to maybe only buy one item a month

[profsaffel]

1. I will exert all effort and resources available to the goal of making more shaving purchases in the coming year, and to utilize the internet stores as much as possible.

2. If number one is accomplished, I must find a way to stay married to my wife for as long as possible. :tongue_sm

:thumbup:........:lol::lol::lol:....... +1

:out: That means only 12 new products a year! forget that....


Mine will be..... I will post in the SOTD, every day I shave. I think I can handle that one.

[MAK]

I will try to use many of the products that I have already purchased.

[Etoyoc_Rebmos]

I will continue to buy and try new products.
I will reduce the number of razors/blades/and products that I use to the ones I most enjoy.
In the event that those are mutually exclusive I will pick and chose between the two as need requires as long as one of the two above goals are met.

[thoughtcriminal]

1. To be able to get BBS on demand with a straight
2. To be able to hone a razor to hair splitting sharp
3. To have my lathering and stropping techniques up to par

A tall order for one who has never yet used a straight. But if I set my mind to it...

I'm betting #1 will win out that battle :D

[whitebar]

1. I will not buy 8 new brushes again this year.
2. I will not buy 7 new DE razors again this year.
3. I will not buy 14 new soaps again this year.
4. I will not buy 5 str8ts again this year.
5. I will start narrowing things down to my favorites.
6. I will buy an Ellis str8t this year! :biggrin:

[tpoof]

I will lift the straight razor off the face instead of sliding it over...

[sklegg]

I will evangelize to local retailers about all of the cool shaving products that I enjoy in an attempt to convince them to stock up!

Yeah BroJohn, I had to change my shorts on that post too.

[D.Irving79]

- buy more swedes
- buy a case of special reserve
- try alt inssbruck


and lastly. i WILL come across that big dusty old unopened box somewhere by chance that is full of nothing but 1898 gems or 1903 double rings.

[guitarslinger]

buy more swedes
sell some razors
use up some colognes
use up some creams

[Abdiel]

a good brush

I'm still using the green handled boar thing from wal mart. Works OK, but dangit I want better :biggrin:

[bythbook]

I will endeavor to buy only those things that I might, someday, use.

[If I live to be 179....]

[OldSaw]

I resolve not to make a resolution. A man's got to know his limitations.

[burnwood]

2. If number one is accomplished, I must find a way to stay married to my wife for as long as possible. :tongue_sm

amen

[mr00jimbo]

I will not buy more cluttering products, and will finish what I have first. (Or try!)
My technique can be honed further, and practise not new products, will be more beneficial.
I will rid myself of ingrown hairs and razor bumps!

[DeaconKC]

Find a Tech and a Super Speed with G3 markings.

[19Delta]

I will take on a new challenge, the straight razor.:smile:

[Bobtrumpet]

1. I will find the DE blade that gives me the best shave and will quit trying new blades. (I'm almost there so this one shouldn't be that hard . . . should it?)

2. I will use up at least 3 tubes of SC before buying any more.

3. I will PIF at least one SC/SS, and possibly one razor.

4. I will figure out how to get Tabac SS to work as well as many of the guys at B&B.

5. I will try that brassed open comb razor I bought months ago.

[TSWebster]

1. Perfect my Honing

2. In order to achieve no. 1 buy myself a thorough but not excessive selection of hones.

3. Prove that G4 dated 1986 razors exist (to date I have seen nothing past G3)

4. Find a NOS PreVulfix Chubby 2 in Best thus completing my Simpson collection.

[SRock]

I won't bother. I'll say silly things like, one new item per month, or I'll use up all that I have before I buy more, then I'll just go on line and ruin another resolution!

Let's go together for some dense brush from Omega for face lathering. Moderator Suzuki seems to have a large collection of Omega brushes, I believe he would know what to recommend.

I resolute not to buy online any shaving soap in the New year. International shipping charges are insanely high. Will settle with localy available products.
I resolute not to buy more than one luxury soap next year; have to have Jorris, and no more than that. Available just few blocks from where I live.
I resolute to watch my cholesterol so I can enjoy fine brushes and scents couple of years longer.
