Summer of Gentlemanly Restraint

[maxzoran]

I have a Waterford Crystal handle with a really terrible knot...have been thinking about reknotting it for a while. I think something like this needs to be done with super high quality considering the medium of what I'd be using...so was initially thinking Silvertip. That said, it may be something I just do for asthetics so may want to go cheap. What are we talking OTD Max? Meaning, knot, shipping, etc. Can you give a rough guesstimate?

You're looking at about $8 for the 21mm and $10 for the 23mm. I paid $20 in shipping for the 2 knots

[maxzoran]

I'll take it a step further and say BOAR IS BETTER than BADGER!!!

Oh lord....don't do it!!!!!

[7 O Menthol]

I have the HJM Black Fibre and I agree it is pretty fantastic. But, I think I may sell it because the Silvertip is pushing it out the door. Interesting that you say it is better than the vaunted (around here at least) Duke 2

Better than is all in the eye of the beholder... It works more quickly and with less product, but there are probably other factors that some gents value above those...

Oh lord....don't do it!!!!!

LOL..exactly. Hence the hit my head against the wall...

That doesn't seen too outrageous for what you're getting. I think this needs added to my list of acquisitions to make after the SOGR. And, it'll give me the push I need to start working on those handles...

[BigBull]

After selling my brush last night, I have net'd $62 in profit. I think that shows restraint.

Oh wait! I pulled the trigger on the SOC 2 band finest in Cherry right after the sell...puts me right back at $8 spent so far.

Nice! Now, go grab some of that KMF because once you try it you'll be glad you got it. Throw a squirt of the unscented in your normal lather and watch it EXPLODE!

Fine, done. Yesterday I picked up the KMF Mint, Green Tea & Bamboo, and Pomegranate Grapefruit. Eventually I'll buy the other 4 scents, pick my favorite 2 or 3, and get rid of the rest. The Mint and Pomegranate Grapefruit smell great. the GT&B needs further testing, but I think that's one I'll eventually get rid of.

I wouldn't buy these, but at $2 per tube, how can I not?

[NickyBobby]

Got a puck of Cade from SWMBO and she's ordered Royall Lyme AS for me. Thanks to her, I'm holding strong! How's everyone else hanging in there?

[maxzoran]

I almost bought a QCS Vostok from BST yesterday...but I decided to let the seller sell it to someone buying multiple items. Still in!

Ha! I was right there with you man! I've been wanting to try some Vostok...and it was 101 here yesterday and 100 here today. I almost caved...stay strong!

In truth...I told him I wanted it and really could have bought it, but it was a better deal for prof to sell it as a multiple item sale due to shipping. So, I let it go. I'm weak!

[razumny]

Still hanging in, though now that will become harder, as my last outstanding order has arrived, an Omega #599.

[rtb178]

Still in. Really hoping to finish off my valobra menthol this summer. In fact, I'm selling things to minimize the den and to make some needed cash. It's nice to know that you're going to use what you have before you get more.

[mikeschu]

Still in, though there's a soap and AS lot on BST that is dragging me to the edge. Think someone else bought it though.

[prsman23]

Oh man. I want that 599! You my friend are a lucky man! How is it? I love my Simpson Berkeley for its size just wish it was a silvertip ever since I've recently knotted a restore in silvertip!

[BigBull]

I fell off over some KMF. Now, I'm going intravenous...Ordered an '11 R41 and SOC 2 Band & some Osage Rub in the last 48 hours. Oh well...still following this thread cuz of the peeps, and the comedy...

Anyone want a hit?

Hey BigBull, isn't there a sense of freedom now that you've fallen off?

[Gray Wolf]

There's plenty in stock in my den, I'm in for the summer.

[Buster Casey]

Still in. 1 month has been way easier than I thought. I think I will restrain until 2013.
