Only 3 months into my 2021 sabbatical (and still doing fine), but of course I've been giving some thought to my shopping list for next year. I'm guessing the rest of us have been doing the same.

So far, these are on my list (and all subject to change or deletion, since I've got lots of time to change my mind)...
Alpha "Albert" brush (just so ...yellow. Irresistible :love:)
Paladin PK-47 Harlequin 28mm synthetic (if they'll make one)
Above the Tie X1 AC slant head (subject to reviews)
Maggard MR5 handle for my Hawk V3

Trust me :giggle: the MR11 Bulldog handle looks better with your v3 Hawk AC head and very moveable throughout your whole shave.

Hmmm, if I wanted that, I could have kept the barberpole that came with my JAWS, not that different in profile. I did give it some thought before I let the JAWS go...

Yes, I might definitely maybe want moar soaps, but I'm nowhere near a shortlist yet :unsure:
 
Great to see a few members sticking to their Sabbaticals no matter the jokes from the detractors.
As for myself, I'm happily using up some neglected soaps, blades and enjoying rotating between some milder razors with mixed results!
I have no real desire to add to my collection barring another razor or brush with preference for an illusive Wolfman but other razors have recently peaked my interest (Pearl Flex, Lambda Ares OC) and maybe another Synthetic Brush (Simpsons or Alpha)...?
The Vector seems worth a look at but then again do I really need more blades but plenty of months ahead for me to decide...
Happy Shaves! :)

Good to hear. I could easily go another year without even thinking about more soaps, and my hardware list is still pretty much a thought bubble (except for the Alpha brush). With any luck, @Errol will review the ATT slant and give it a total bagging, and it'll be off my list. :p

In my totally biased opinion, you definitely need a Vector in your den. Just think, it's half the price of a Wolfperson ;)

Your entire gobtrolop of a statement reeks of a sabbatical waiting to be broken .:LOL:

Good luck and may the soaps be with you. :LOL:

Well @Gargravarr, you’ll be pleased to hear that the ATT Slant has been ordered. When ordered the date of posting was to be 31 March, that is not far off and I’ve not heard of any changes. The bad news for you is the there have been no bad ATT‘s made up to now. Some mild, some aggressive but all good.

im waiting for the Vector Titanium, just love titanium! And then there’s the OC.

Now you're talking as Titanium is the way to go!!! ;)
 
Sabbatical has not a problem at all so far. There were a couple of weak times where @tim33z and some other members posted sales of A&E gear which was hard, but gladly got over them. Quite surprised at how easy it seems so far but the mind has still been ticking over for some hardware.

So far, I have the following in mind once this is over..

SS Muhle R91
SS Lupo 75

I admit the recent acquisitions from various members almost had me rushing to my spare wallet with the 'rainy day' $$$ but luckily most items that interest me are readily available so no need to rush.
I agree the recent Lupo's have me interested and a SS R41 would be nice but Muhle need to adjust to pricing before I'd be convinced I need one considering my pot metal one rarely gets used... :unsure:
