The essential oil combinations I use as an EdT are very reasonably priced and a great value as I only use 2-3 drops, at a time and they smell lovely. Of course, YMMV. Shy

my glass ceiling is whatever I can afford at the time. if I want something bad enough, I'll buy it. my usual mantra is to try to move current gear that I'm not using before buying more stuff though so it doesn't get overwhelming....

It took me 2-3 years to convince myself to buy the Pehaligon's BB aftershave splash. The price is really insane, but it was just a scent I had to have.

That's usually how I do things also. I have thinned out the stash A LOT from what I have had in the past. All of it fits into a small wall shelf now. I don't think I'll buy anything else unless it is something totally new like an ATT GEM style SE. I would like to pick up a British aristocrat to go with the other Gillettes I have though.

granted, we're talking about shaving supplies here, not $50,000 cars. Tongue

Yes, but I can't even seem to manage it for shaving gear. Sad

That seems to me to be a balanced and reasonable approach. You get to have a variety of shaving gear, but won't get overburdened by having a ton of stuff sitting around.

My glass ceiling is kind of like what Potter Stewart said about hard-core pornography--I know it when I see it.

$300 Manchurian brushes and $400 titanium razors come to mind.

Only $50,000 says the man for a car. I was just tempted with this lovely for a mere $160,600 USD at current exchange not counting getting it here unless I expatriate myself.
I'm not even on a 'beer budget' for my champagne tastes and people purporting to be my friends show me this kind of online porn.
It is not fair and I will not stand for it much longer.
.97 cents towards the next lotto ticket from my coin recovery programme.
