    Great photo Mark. Between the soap, aftershave and cologne you have the trifecta of Vetiver . :happy096:

    Is this a good time to let you know that all Kent brushes are 1/2 price at menessentials.ca as well, John?

    Just trying to do my small part...
    Seems like really good deals, fwiw. That massive Kent #12 brush that Jared and Keith both have is $175 CAN ($130 USD). I'm not in the market for one, but it sure looks like a nice price.

    If you ever wanted to feel a luxury silvertip, I cannot think of one that is more of a giant cloud than the BK12. I have never used anything quite like it.

    You caught me, I channeled shavefu and upped my game with a new toy.

    That is a classic picture, thank you for sharing.

    A perfect picture to match your custom title.

    That is a great price for a brush that is very special.

    Plus my wallet is already empty, which helps reduce temptation... So nyah to the lot of you.

    Menessentials.ca you said? Well, I don’t suppose it would hurt anything if I just went and looked, would it? And if I do see anything that I absolutely must have, there's always my reserve savings account....

    Alright you terrible, awful, horrible, very bad, no good Enablers, I went to the Men Essentials site and "just looked" at the Kent brushes. It turned out that not only were they 50% off, I could get an additional 10% for signing up on my first order, plus the shipping was free. Which brought the price of a Kent BK12 down to $165 Cdn, taxes in, shipped...

    Guess who now owns a Kent BK12 brush? :( :rofl::happy102::angry032::happy097:

    Incidentally, they still seem to have lots left in Ivory, Black, and Horn, as well as BK2, BK4, BK8 and travel brushes... Just saying... :cool:

    Thank you, Gents!
    Awesome shot, Rick!
    Fantastic photos, Gentlemen!
    Good luck, Clint! I decided a few years ago that going out on black Friday just wasn't worth it. Now shopping online while sitting on my couch, totally!

    Congrats on getting the Kent BK12. I've avoided temptation on shaving relating purchases. However, I didn't avoid all temptation, since I did buy a get a nice english field coat.

    There always appears to be a huge difference in price between Kent brushes and Kent combs. I snatched a comb for $9.99 from Clubman.com. Brush? Looked great but, naah.

    You guys have shown uncommon restraint. I won't even bother mentioning that Nuavia Rossa and Blu are $20 off a jar plus 10% off storewide at topofthechain.ca . 40 bucks US probably isn't that good a price for Nuavia anyway...

    Fantastic shave this morning. Took a pick of the amazing lather that I was able to make with my 30DCLE brush and matching @jtspartan lather bowl. Three passes, no irritation and DFS+ territory.

    And yes, it is Friday! Have a good weekend everyone!
