No Shaving Purchases 2021 and other suggestions for the year

[Bogeyman]

Well, I blew "no purchase 2021" by around 10:00 this morning ...

I hate to gloat, but........

You should see what I got! You'll snort ... with derision. It's shiny, though. Shiny.

FFS - Not even 40 hours in to 2021 and I've already failed on my one soap purchase a month target. Just bought two Black Ship Grooming soaps. They were on sale though...... Maybe they can count as one because of that.

This is thread is kind of thinking aloud of sorts, but with the upcoming year would anyone be interested in participating in a thread where the criteria could be established later on but to not make any purchases for the calendar year of 2021?

Along the lines of themed months eg OCtober (Open Comb October), TabacTober, Arko August etc, would anyone be up for participating in a themed month? If so, do you have any suggestions? Another theme I have seen before, was using one soap for the month of February, I was thinking this could be extended a little by using various scents of the same base/maker for the entire month, eg any soap made by OSP, Signature Soaps etc.

If these sound like terrible ideas or good ones, I'd be interested in your thoughts.

I don't think I will be making any purchases as far as shaving gear goes this year, I will probably be buying EDTs and EDPs but that falls outside of "shaving gear" but I admit it can be just as much as a rabbit hole though! P.

1 soap a month..... i like that!!! Mine are apparently on their way with royal mail....

Really like the idea of one soap brand for a month .

Although not sure I could hack Tabac or Arko... Bloody love the Tabac performance and its the only reason I keep it around. Same goes for Arko, not sure I could wake up to a urinal puck for 28-31 days though..

Or shave fit?? You have to chose between alcohol and your new year purchases (own up!) What do you chose? Happy new year.

I was beginning to think it might be "make a purchase every day of 2021", but I got through today without. Still two hours, mind.
