Wow you guys were busy, I miss a day and fall behind 332 posts. Here is quick catch up. My first two shaves back home.
I landed Monday morning at 7am, I hate those over night flights but that is all that is available in between Phuket and Seoul. Took a two hour nap and then went to work with true dependable for me, Tabac, Yaqi silver tip and very sharp Riga Razor. It felt good to use a straight razor again.

Tuesday, time to get back into a regular routine and get with the decadent December theme. Today's theme is unobtainables or almost unobtainables. Not shown is AoS tallow soap, as endured by a famous opera singer
@Primotenore . The brush is a very rare and never seen in stores nor on the 'bay, a custom handle from a famous woodworker in Canada
@jtspartan (never in my pics but I also use his lathering bowl almost everyday). The razor is a custom from Ed Brice, so it is unique, unfortunately Ed is pulling back from making custom razors. There is also evidence in the pic of the influence of the stealth but most effective enabler Charlie,
@wristwatchb . The watch is not a Rolex Sub-Mariner, if you have the money you can find one of them. This is a MKII Nassau, less money than a Rolex but as rare as hen's teeth. To cap off the shave I splashed some vintage Antaeus.
