@BradWorld sounds like a 10kg filament order is in place before the end of the year.

No! But my 3kg filament order arrived on Christmas Eve!

@blethenstrom but I have appropriated your little badge and added it to my avatar as @Guido75 has done.

@Goblin thanks for the reminder! I meant to add the Gruyere 2025 badge to my avatar last week, and it got lost in the shuffle. Its done now! I just printed a sticker, and affixed it to that vintage Gibson SG, and retook the photo! :eek2: 🤯 :redface-new:

Are you sure that 3kg will be enough to last your an entire year? It is a long time after all. There is still time. 😁

The ruling is that if I am buying the filament for non-shaving projects, I’m good. 😎

If a guy uses olive oil as a pre shave, is he not allowed to buy olive oil for cooking? 🤣😂😄

All kidding aside, I use 95% of my filament for non-shaving projects.
 
Update.

I've chosen a razor as my exception, again. That's what I already did in 2023 and 2024. Knowing your Achilles heel is key if you want to complete GRUYERE succesfully. I absolutely know what I'm talking about.
After all, I failed my recent two GRUYERE events, since each time I bought a...

Does that mean that if I'm buying ingredients to make shave soap to give away I'm good?
I dont think so. I think the jist of the statement regarding filament was that if I buy 3D printer filaments for my job and have a little left over, making the odd shaving trinket won’t make me out of the sabbatical. Since it did not cost any additional money, nor was purchased specifically for shaving.

It’s likely a moot point anyway because with my recent filament restock, i will have enough spare filament to do whatever miscellaneous shave stuff comes up in 2025. 3kg of filament is a lot more than one would think. And I still have five or six spools of abs and other non-PLA filaments in stock. I was just running low on Black PLA which I need for a non-shaving project this coming week.

I would concur with that assessment.

I could make out the same with spare copper which is used for making deepwater lures; conceptually speaking …

But if I'm buying ingredients to make bath soap and I just do happen to have some left over stuff........
