2017 Shave Purchase Sabbatical , The Year of the Walking Dead

@Pepin - I just noticed your avatar. In case you didn't know Chat Noir is also a hotel in Paris. I stayed there once. It is a bit funky but quite nice. My only issue with the place is it is over (or next to) a bakery and I work up early every morning to awesome smells.

Sounds like a nice place. Love the European bakeries and patisseries.

I first saw the Chat Noir poster in a Prague absinthe bar.
 
Anyone planning on working in a 3017 during the restraint? I'm gonna try to kill off some of my Crabtree & Evlyn creams.

I'm working on a brick of Cella. I may break down and use a bit of MWF, but the Cella is my prime (and has been for 2016)

I have about half a puck of MWF that I don't really care for... It seems like it takes twice as long to work it into a lather that is comparable to Tabac or Fine soaps. I may be blaspheming, but seeing as YMMV, it will be trade stock for sure if I start itching for something different. I'll have to 3017 it for a week or two to see if I can figure it out before I kick her out of my den.
 
What's this 3017 thing you speak of? :whistling:

You love each and every one of your soaps too much to be monogamous to one for too long, right? Do you have 365 different soaps yet, it would be fun to use a different soap every day. Of course that would be a lifetime supply of soap, and completely overkill! LOL

I am going to continue to 3017 some DR Harris Marlborough that I started Dec 2, 2015... I hope to be done in late Feb or early March. I will then 3017 some of the creams I have sitting around.

This will be my second pick of MWF. The first puck treated me well and I was very happy wth the scent so I'm hoping this one treats me just as well. Every so often the urge takes me that I want something different than Cella.

Yes, I'll try to stay with an after shave and soap until they are over then move on on to the next.
At least, that's the plan now, I try to simplify my supplies cabinet and keep only what I really like.
 
Ok, my orders for what I need to get through the year have been placed. I decided on a Trac II system for my travel carts. Now I've got to stop making groggy midnight bids on eBay for stuff I don't need.

I've got a bowl full of a bunch of mixed soaps I'm planning on starting either January 1 or when my current Stirling sample runs out.
 
Oh heck, instead of sitting on the sidelines, might as well join in. I should have enough supplies to make it through the year, so no exceptions for me.
