I wanna go to more meetups abroad in 2014.
It is one of my favorite things to do, all the ones I have attended, or arranged locally, have been real fun times.Bjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

I'd like to say I'll buy myself a Mastro Livi but I don't think I can; definitely not before the latter half of the year, anyway.

To shave more with less.
Be just and fear not.

I'm going to have to say continue to improve my shaving and stropping technique, and get a good handle on my coticule. I'm in no rush in regards to any aspect, just want to take my time and enjoy every experience the path has to offer....all in good time!

I'm a relatively new straight shaver of about 18 months but have acquired 15 razors-1 Feather ACSS kamisori style, 2 new & 12 vintage western straights with various grinds from near wedge, quarter, full to extra hollow. I want to better master & enjoy the various razors, strops, brushes, soaps & several hones that I've collected this past year. I'd like to quit "saving" so much money and experience the Zen satisfaction of mastering what I already have. Thanks to all the fine folks for sharing in this forum because this past year much has been learned by coming to SRP and using the search function to learn from the discoveries of others. Happy New Year to all

I would like to begin working on the real ins and outs of honing. No longer just touch ups, but re-sharpening and polishing. Setting bevels. Really get into the science of honing as well.

I just started my SR journey 6 days ago, I have to say no going back to cartridges for me!
I want to learn how to hone, and how to get better at stropping. I want to let others know about SR shaving!!!Lynn likes this.

I want to get better at keeping my straights pretty. Even though I try to follow advice from the forums, my blades tend to accrue spotting, and my pivots get loose.
My couple of razors are plain-jane workhorses, but if I can clean them up and learn to keep them up well, then I'll feel better about shelling out for a "showcase" razor or two. (Or three.)Keep your pivot dry!

My resolution will be "spend no more on SR stuff", which automatically means I WILL spend more on SR stuff
