My Goodwill brass collection is really just spray paint and regret.

My buddy Marcus did the same thing at his shop in Akron. He hit 800 cuts around two years in and started going through his books, and it turned out like 60 percent of his clients were repeats by then. What really got him was seeing how many guys had been with him since his first month, some of them he barely remembered cutting because he was so nervous back then. He said it made him stop worrying about chasing new people and just focus on the ones already in his chair.

Tracked mine the same way and watching that gas savings add up kept me going.
