  5. And there it is..she called me....no travel day today, but we will have that chat by phone later.
  6. 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.

  10. 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:
  11. Thanks so much Jim! Hope your having a wonderful Christmas!
  12. Thanks Clint!
  13. Yes, it does
    Thank you and Merry Christmas Clint.
  14. 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.
  15. Picture no worky.
  16. 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.
  17. Merry Christmas

    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.
