  7. Anything besides a lump of coal. Because coal isn't decadent. It's just depressing.

    Pre-shave: hot shower
    Shave Gel: Nivea Men Sensitive Skin Shaving Gel (applied by hand)
    Razor: Gillette Fat Boy E-4 (set at #2)
    Blade: Wilkinson-Sword (3)
    Post-shave: Assured WH, Nivea Sensitive Skin PS Balm, Skin Bracer

    Just had time for a quick shower and shave this morning using my Nivea gel. It's one of my go-to shave lather products when I need a quick shave. I had a very pleasant, 2 pass shave with some touch-ups on the neck. I can't say I got a baby smooth shave but it was a darn fine one. The Fat Boy, at setting #2 still felt mild for me. Next I'll try #3.

    Hope all of you are having a great week as the Holidays approach!

  6. Stay warm, Jason. The advantage to winter storms is you have a perfect excuse to stay inside and have a nice, long shave ritual.
  7. Wonderful photo. Love the Christmas theme.

  8. Thank you, Sir!
  9. Razor: Gillette Fatboy G 3 1961
    Blade: Gillette Platinum
    Brush: Fendrihen Horn Faux Ebony Silvertip
    Soap: Route 66 Lumberjack
    A/S: Route 66 Lumberjack Balm
    Bowl: Timeless


    Another excellent 3 passes with a touchup under my chin. The Fendrihen brush whipped up the Lumberjack into an amazing lather. A near BBS shave was the result.

  10. A bunch of absolutely excellent photos today, gentlemen! Crisp pictures, great gear, and some wonderful holiday themes. They were very cheery to view today, thank you all very much!
  11. I love the fact that she enjoys wet shaving. No interest in straights, but you can’t win them all.

  12. That's awesome. At least she is having fun. I really like her photo presentation!

    My wife will be opening up a gift for Christmas which will have that same Lady Gillette. I'm hoping she'll try it, at least. She's been supportive of my addiction... I mean, hobby, and she's having fun with these photo set-ups so I think she'll at least agree to try it. Keeping my fingers crossed.
