Even if you had received an email, it doesn't mean much.....there will be 5-600 guys hammering
the website at the precise time of the drop. Only the ones who know the ins and outs of such things succeed.
Luck also factors in.

Some guys are better at chasing these things than others. All you need is the drive to commit yourself 100%. Helps to have a desk job
where you sit at a computer all day with your browser open.

In case you feel bad about the missed drop, console yourself as I do....brushes are really the least important part of the shave.
Many will disagree, but for me it's razor, blade and soap that determine the excellence of the shave. Brushes do, however, make us happy.
With the way they look and feel on the face....and Varlet seems to score very high in those aspects. Im currently very happy with
a Muhle synthetic knot (I know, LOL) in a very sexy wolf whiskers handle. Been using it for a couple of months every day and don't even touch the badger.

But since I'm all razored up for life, I will eventually turn my attention to these Varlets...it's a challenge I wouldn't mind setting myself.

I see he's up to $310 for a 29mm....you'd think that would curb demand but seems to be the opposite. Human behaviour is so fascinating.
I can waste time refreshing with the best of them. I can fight the page monitors. What is hard to beat is the artisans that tip their friends to impending drops via emails.

It's not just Varlet either. DG does the same thing. Knowing who is in the Mozingo orbit, his stuff will be no different, I'm sure.

I'm not a sour grapes guy but...playing on a tilted field that has been presented as "fair" is inexcusable.

YMMV and all.

This is such bullshit in regards to Declaration. You better check yourself before you start spreading garbage rumors like this. I know for a fact this isn't true so don't even try to argue with me about it.

Haha. OK. I was referencing the drop that coincided with the Mozingo drop, specifically. But if you are sure I'm wrong in this instance. I'll be wrong.

LOOT, that drop is the only one he's ever given advance notice of to my knowledge. And he did it on Instagram, so pretty much everybody that would have any interest knew about it.

LOOT I used Distill Web Monitor plugin to automatically alert me when a webpage has changed. Might be worth looking into, but please read through everything and have correct settings in place.

Maybe anything other than snail mail/pigeon post is email for him. Give that man a break, come on.
