    Not if you gave yourself an exception before you started. I am jealously guarding my two exceptions, and have cleared a couple of e-shopping carts already.

    Last year I held out until April. After that.... BOOM. 6 brushes.

    Sabbatical does not rhyme with Wet-Shaving.
    It's all about what you don't have...not what you have.
    After all, you have it already.

    Christmas and an engagement put a hurting on my bank account, so I've managed to stay away for the last few months. Starting to feel that itch again though.

    Last year when I decided to go on the sabbatical it started off fine. When I finally broke it was like the shopping flood gates burst open and I went on a shopping frenzy.

    It reality, its a good thing you jumped ship now instead of waiting much longer.

    I am actually at the point where I need a sabbatical to sell some stuff to re-stock! Does that count as a sabbatical?? However, I don't know if I can sell any brushes, just razors, creams/soaps, etc.

    So, if I sell stuff, the sabbatical is waived in the amount of the sale proceeds,,,,right ?

    That's the way I am figuring it.

    +1. I sold a bunch of shaving stuff last year, bought a couple little things, and ended up with cash left over. I considered it a success, so I've reset the shaving budget to $0 and started the 2011 sabbatical.

    Talking We're all doomed

    I just did an inventory of my soaps and creams (my worst ADs) and I'm worse than I suspected.

    25 different shaving soaps & 16 different creams

    This cures me of the desire to get more.

    On brushes I'm a little better as I "only" have 7. That's why I feel safer hanging out in the brush forum!
