Broke hahahahahaha

I still find this very funny but I'm also somewhat sympathetic. I have a 90% full tub of it myself I'm happy to sell you before midnight or trade afterwards.

We shall speak when I awake from my drunken slumber good sir, love your work

My 37c Slant arrived today, along with a tube each of Proraso and Tabac creams (belated Christmas present) so i'm looking forward to getting to use these from tomorrow. Still pretty confident i can get through another 363 days without buying anything extra.
Also, i ordered a Semogue 1305 brush from connaught on Dec 15th i think it was. How long does shipping normally take from the UK? It went to being dispatched on the 18th.
Thanks

Hard to guess at this time of year with the public holidays and all the extra deliveries that are required for Xmas presents, boxing day and new year's sales.... In the same boat with some of my gear, even just getting packages from Sydney to Brisbane is taking forever

1.5 days down only 363.5 to go or 8724 hours,but who's counting.
Hands up those who did the calculation

I’m impressed that we have no failures yet..

I did the basic one

another 363 days without buying anything extra

but yours is more accurate

That's how you end up with folks like me offering unobtainable items like a Wolf Whiskers Silvertip brushe or The Blade of blades, The Light Brigade in temptation

Okay, you can forward me some blades but I’ll have to pay you in 2019...


I should email some online stores and explain this situation...

Unfortunately it does not work that way

Probably for the best, I haven’t tried the mentioned items anyway, if they where any good they would still be in production, right

Hmm, lets see
AOS tallow formula
Williams tallow formula
Sir Irisch Moos
Haslinger tallow formula
Penhaligon's tallow formula
TOBS, GF, T&H tallow formula
Coates cream
Gillette DE razors
...and they're the one's I readily recall that are discontinued.

What survives is not necessarily the best. Just the most profitable

Am I doing it right?

Excuse me, I use a Nokia 3310... I don’t get emojis I get tiny little squares... I like smileys though

Am I doing it right?

I'm edging closer and closer to throwing my hat in the ring. What do we win again?

Nothing to lose but a banner to gain.
