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

  3. Some inspiring photos and writeups so far today, gentlemen.

    And inspiring pure envy here, @Boojum1 and @LOOT, your OC Aristocrat and Toggle both look absolutely gorgeous.

  4. Dang. Someone in here has a hydra.

    The problem with being the new guy is getting all of you straight.

    Haven’t had much of a chance to post the past few days. These were day 6 & 7 of the ‘crat jr focus. Face-lathered the Baker St this morning, what a great scent. Switched out the Feather for a Polsilver this morning and had a super smooth 3 pass shave. I touched up my neck as well, and would call this a DFS. Finished with the excellent Reserve Cool and ready to start some Christmas vacation time for the next week and a bit. Now I have to try and get caught up a bit on this runaway train known as the thread...
    Have a great day all!

  6. Very nice photos Jason.
  7. I doubt you all will see much of me until after Christmas, so I will just throw this out there :

  8. Great looking Fatboy and wonderful Christmas themed photo.

    Great looking photos Jason. The brass collar on the brush really takes it to another level.
  9. There's our little 30DC man. Great photo Andrew. Enjoy these days while you can, they end sooner than you think.
  10. Adorable, Andrew! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
  11. Excellent. :happy096:
  12. Thanks very much Clint.

  13. Love the filter and the Toggle appears to be in great shape!
    Sounds like you have the MWF mastered, John. Great pic!
    Hope you are feeling better today, Keith.
    Great combo, Adam! That brush you had redone earlier is looking like it is holding together well.
  14. Beautiful photo! Sorry to hear you had to go into the office today, Clint.
    My goodness, that 'Crat is stunning. Was that the original Gillette OC TTO?
    Cool photo with the black background, Brian. Some great gear as well.
    Pure DEcadence, indeed. Is that the toggle that was replated by RazorPlate?
    Great Xmas pic, Doug!
  15. Much appreciated, thank you.
  16. Thank you. Yes sir, RaxorPlate fixed her up for me.

  17. Thanks very much. :happy088:
  18. Thanks, Jason. The MWF seems to work well for me now when I use it.

    I liked your two shave photos earlier in this thread. How did you like Lavanille as a soap scent?
  19. Thank you Jason. I was in and out of the office fairly quickly. One follow up phone call later today and I should be able to enjoy Christmas.

    My wife, daughters and I are going out to a taqueria for lunch. Mmmmm.

  20. Thanks, John. I think I've used that sample 3 times now this month, and have really come to appreciate the scent. I always love B&M glissant lathers, and this is my favourite scent of the B&M samples you sent me.
