    Default B&B Sabbatical (Brush Induced)

    Hey guys, I've decided to take a sabbatical from B&B... And as I don't belong to any other shaving forums this is my only connection to the shaving world.

    You may be asking why??? It is simple...I'm a big spoiled baby and I can't find a Somerset Chubby with a fan shaped knot to buy...

    While this won't matter to anyone other then me I have decided to punish the rest of the shaving world for not letting me have my way...

    So I will now exit stage left, kicking and screaming and throwing a temper tantrum...

    Hope to be back soon,

    Justin (King Baby)

    Good luck with your acquisition and welcome back once you come to your senses again.

    if you stay away, a Somerset Chubby will appear on the B/S/T and be sold right before you come back.

    LOL...

    I know, and last night I was "lurking" not logged in...

    My wife just laughes, we went out for dinner and she made the comment about me wanting to get home and talk to all my "boyfriends" on the B&B. I then explained the situation about the sabbatical and wanting a Somerset Chubby so badly...she almost fell out of her chair at dinner. I think the Japanese lady at the sushi bar thought something was wrong with her.

    It really does amaze me how passionate some of us get about this though, when I talk to soome of my friends here about wet shaving they just look at me like i'm crazy (which I may be), I just can't imagine that men wouldn't want to share in this if they already aren't. My son is 9 and he is already looking forward to it, he's been making lather for almost a year now... (Proud Papa)

    Have you checked with the ladies at Castle Anthrax? Maybe they have one to go with their Grail-shaped beacon.

    No, seriously, good hunting.

    Thanks Jim!

    I'm taking that into consideration, I have contacted Tabac and have a truck load being delivered...I think a pallet should do me for a couple of months.

    I was really looking for a Ch1 or Ch2 but I couldn't turn down this beauty...

    Hopefully someone at Vulfix is reading this - that is how a Chubby is supposed to look!
