2015 Sabattical thread

I would be tempted as I managed around 365 days without thinking about it , however all I have in the soap / cream stash at the moment is 1/2 tube of godrej, 90% of a proraso tube, and some TOBS Jermyn St (which the wife keeps stealing). Almost enough to get me through a year, but not for certain.

If I had 100 soaps / creams like the rest of you it would be a no brainer.

Alcolado Glacial, do you have more than one bottle ?
If you've a bottle, I've a few items that I may be enticed to trade, all the help a fellow brother out :)
 
Only got the one 250ml bottle I'm afraid. I may be able to decant 1/2 out though if I can funds anything to out it in of you are that interested?
 
You do speak of it quite highly, so am curious to put it politely :)
I've a stick of Speick to help out your prospective sabbatical, yet naturally, only if interested.

As for the others that are partaking in this sabbatical (those with blade exceptions are excluded naturally), $1 for a tuck of Polsilver SI's inc normal post of interest ?
Subsequent tucks at my discretion for 50c each.
Willing to take a loss on these to have you back in the fold :D
You will thank me when you don't miss out upon specials, group buys and the latest/greatest product we're yet to try.

This is exactly how I imagine Australia

Just wondering whose honest enough to admit they've broken their sabbatical yet?
 
I promise y'all I'll be 100% honest - not cheating no-one but myself ultimately..
 
I'm in, with the following caveats. I'll have to buy some aftershave balm at some point and I might find things in China/Hongkong in June which are too tempting.

I could probably use one brush (I only have one), one razor, one model of blade and one soap all year. Being my only brush, Merkur 38C, Schick platinum plus and whichever soap I have enough of which is about 8 to choose from but I would pick proraso white or TOBs Jermyn St.
 
So one steps out (@Nonick be gone!) and another steps in... Welcome @glenos!

It's going to be what ever you make it to be. It's your length of string. (And don't get Chinese blades - unless you have death on the mind...)

Whoa! You mean business!!! I don't think I'm quite in for a Drubbings' special. But it's all your call. It is entirely up to you about how far you want to harm...*ahem*...help yourself. But as for me, I'm wanting to try all my hardware and use up as much of my software as possible. [emoji106]
 
Day 1 down. 364 days to go.

Welcome aboard mate.
Being the man who started me down Tabac Road with their AS lotion (I think yours was my first PIF on P&C), of which I thank you wholeheartedly, would you like their AS balm? Only used twice. Mellower scent just that balms aren't too good with my oily skin (Razorock is the only exception I've found). Yours if you want it....and PIFs remain in the spirit of the sabbatical mate.
 
Those not in the sabbatical or planning on exiting. There is a limited edition cold river select soap 'paradise' being made for the nook. To be released on the 15 January I believe.

Thanks for posting it on the sabbatical thread!!! [emoji31]

There are so many limited edition soaps (and brushes) being made these days- for the Wet Tubers, the A-list, some forums... Interesting and nice, but it'd be so hard to collect them all! It's a very clever idea from the Artisan brush & soap-makers PoV. I wonder why people like them so much?!? Sometimes it's just a little different fragrance, a different label and then - voila!

Is it because people like to be part of a smaller, "in" group? Or is a "souvenir" of their membership? Or just a chance to feel special? I know some (like the specialty brushes- didn't LaP or YB have a very nice Spanish made brush recently?) are a chance to get a lovely item indeed.
 
Or due to prohibitive costs for essential oils, particular scents are a limited edition to ensure they're not stuck with inventory that has a high value associated with it.
