I realized last night that I will run out of Barbasol Pacific Rush some time this year.

Could be worse... You could have been so giddy to order up some Captains Choice Cat O' Nine Tails before it hit midnight on New Years that you totally forgot to add a bottle of the Original Bay Rum too so you won't run out 1/3 yr in! Damn!

If any of youz guyz has some and doesn't like it, I may be bugging you around March/April or so...

One week down, and so far I've resisted a few straights in BST, a boatload of soaps, and a Simpsons 56/57. 51 more weeks! Onward!

Beware of the BST! A Morris and Forndran listed there almost sunk me more than once.

Week 1 in the books, no worries.

Speaking of cat o nine tails, I bought a sample when I got my bottle of original. I only used it once but didn't really notice any more sting. The smell seems sweeter than the original. Maybe more clove, even though there isn't any. Weird eh?

I may be saying the same thing after my last few items trickle in and i finally see how much i have.

I'm actually a little worried to lay it all out and take inventory pics.

Pretty sure I won't even have to touch any new products and can probably get by most of the year, just using up already in rotation items.

Um... are you guys picking on me or did I miss something? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I'm still in! I was relieved to find I didn't buy anything in the 7 hours I was sleeping last night.

I'm still in but was laid low by the flu since last week so I couldn't check in until this morning when I was able to rise from the dead and take some nourishment!

Wow, I had to catch up with almost 8 pages of reading to find some of you have a 4 way going on

Now time to go & take the sharpest blade I own (Feather) to hack away at this beard
