    With a lead of 24% and just 6 days left in decadent December, I believe it is safe to proudly claim that NO COAL LUMP is the winner of the survey.

    Beautiful photo and brush Mark. I wish they would make a CH2 Synthetic in that rod material.

    Great looking shave Doug. Looks like your Secret Santa treated you well. :happy096:

    Actually, sad to report that I left the gate open and the dog ate the cookies for Santa, and the sugar cubes for his reindeer. At least she didn't drink the juice.

    I felt festively inspired to do a multiple pass straight shave on Christmas morning. It’s too warm for a fire in the fireplace here, but the one on my neck should burn throughout Christmas Day. So... apparently technique trumps Holiday spirit too.

    A very nice relaxing shave this morning. Three passes and some serious touch up work just let the baby escape. I am glad I pulled out the SS for a run during my birthday weekend I will happily clean up the Super Speed and put it away until this time next year. While the TTO razors get the job done for me, I really just prefer 2 or 3 pieces DE razors. I hope each of you are able to enjoy the company of friends and family. Merry Christmas.
