Greetings,

Early morning shave,

Last early morning shave and working shift of 2025 before I break up for the Christmas holidays until the 5th January 2026!...I've hardly taken any of my holidays this year so I'll have a nice long relaxing Christmas break.

I have mentioned before in my post that I find the La Barbiera shaving soaps works well with face & bowl lathering, building up a lather with a my damp boar brush gives great results adding water to the tips of the brush to get the lather to the consistency I prefer.

A close comfortable silky smooth shave to finish my shaving week off with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Bulldog Original Moisturiser.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

As The Shave Den enters its final days I’m wondering where everyone is migrating to. I came to TSD having posted on a variety of other boards but none matched the inclusive and welcoming community here. I’ve recently started to post on The Shaving Cadre and I’m still exploring others.

So, where is everyone going? Please post your likely new homes in a Reply to this post. Thanks

Greetings,

A very eclectic shave set up to start the weekend.

It's been a while since I last used the Vitos Vegetale shaving soap, which lathers up superbly and provides a slick protective thick lather with a wonderful vibrant marzipan /sweet almond scent with a small hint of coconut oil which lasts throughout the shave and beyond leaving a superb post shave feel.

A close face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Sensitive Aftershave Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
