Merry Christmas everyone. This was my X-mas day shave so I broke with the 3017 and included all my products in the shot. I usually leave the AS and ASB out of the pic. When the weather turns chilly I move Cade ASB and Small Batch Shave Tonic Winter Reserve. The Winter Reserve is running low but thanks to my Kentucky brother from another mother I have a back up . One the stankist of the stankisks was over sprayed today . This Dovo is sporting her factory edge, which is excelent.

Next time I use the Clubman I will added to the photo. I keep my Clubman in glass, the only way to keep this fine juice.
Thursday, December 26 AoS Sandalwood~~Wald A1~~Gillette Tech/Wilkinson~~Paco Rabanne 1 Million Privé Pretty sure I'll being finishing up this 3017 in 2025. The synthetic knot on the Wald will be better suited for a cream.
Charlie, did you receive your Holiday wishes from Kent? I know you're a fan(course you sent me 3 of their combs). I'm so pleased Kent now has a relationship with King Charles and his family across the pond. Might make me buy a shaving brush of theirs with pride. As for what Primo said, I feel odd putting Clubman in line with "stank".(Course there's always the possibility I don't officially know what "stank" means).
This thread encouraged me to finally use up a soap. I tend to rotate through many soaps and rarely finish one off. I have used this soap exclusively for about a year. I don’t shave everyday, so it took a while. I have to admit , I’m looking forward to going back to some other soaps. I doubt I will limit myself again. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Have fun!
I have high regards for Kent, Paul. Great customer service and nice folks. I use a couple of their (now) vintage shaving brushes and really like them, not to mention having a lifetime supply of their tallow-based shave soap. I also like the combs (yes, I am a comb snob) and even their small nail brush. Looks like they have a winter sale going on now if you are so inclined to keep the global economy going and our alliance with the Old Country strong.
Congrats Brian. Mike's is in my top 5 shave soaps. I've got a couple of Hungarian Lavender pucks in the 3017 queue.
Nice 3017, Brian. The nice thing about this thread, is that you can still enjoy mucho variety with your other shave gear.
Friday, December 27 AoS Sandalwood~~Semogue 2012 SE Mistura~~Cooper Monobilt/Wilkinson~~Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco You can get a good idea of how much product remains in the Captain's Choice Copper Bowl. The Monobilt used today pays respect to @jtspartan I know he's well. Looking forward to him posting again soon.
