That is way way cool for you.

My loving wife gave me money for Christmas. Some people would see that as sarcasm, but instead I'm genuinely glad she left it at that - I immediately hit up ItalianBarber and ordered some stuff:

-Tube of EJ Sea Buckthorn
-Rapira, Shark, Croma Diamant, Lord Platinum, Bolzano Superinox and Astra blades (About 90 between the brands)
-EJ DE87

I have a feeling it may be a bribe so she can get her mitts on my Merkur, but I don't mind, if she wants to switch to DE I'm more than happy to oblige too! I'll fire some pics up as soon as it arrives!

My christmas present from the GF, the omega boar is just for size comparison. really big badger brush, i will wait untill the 29th to use it in my scuttle (thats when I get home) as I have already shaved today, The handle has some heft to it very nice wait its a 6639 model

Dean I think its a 6239 which is a 26mm knot; either way that handle is like a vintage Plisson...

Wow Danny ....you've got quite the 'Chorus Line' there...The 'Shavettes' appearing daily at Danny's....LOL!! You've got some real beauties there....I can't think of any reason I would kick any of those lovelys out of my Shave-Cave....lol

Yes you are correct on model number Mis-typing from me, its like a marble effect on the handle very nice

Man...the mountain of lather that monster can produce....besure to tie a string around your wrist and the other end to the door-knob so you don't get lost, in case of lather over-load...lol...I have this vision (like a Chaplin movie) of your bathroom door bursting open and your sliding out in a sea of lather.....ha,ha,ha

You got that right...She has those 'Jessica Rabbit' Curves.....

A treasure....Full Review Worthy.....

Hahaha-do you know anybody who could play some sultry jazz in the background while they dance?

If the players could spend a little quality lather time with that 'Chorus-Line'.. ..I don't think that would be a problem...Whew, is it just me, or is it getting hot in here...

Thanks Alp, it is every thing that I wanted and am enjoying it every morning so far. The lathering bowl depth is perfect with the width and not quite as deep so I do not bang fingers and brush handle when making lather, just as I wanted.

Well my Christmas haul is small but amazing! From my parents I got a Simpsons Colonel in best badger. I knew it was coming but I didn't realize it would be as amazing at it is! I used it this morning and absolutely loved it!

Here are some shots pre bloom.




Here are some post bloom. It sure did bloom nice!

Here is a small sampling of some Christmas goodies.

Starbuck's Christmas Beans, homemade scarf, blade bank, GFT and GFT Limes.

As long as they engage in "safe lathering" I think it's a fair deal. Turn on the AC

So along with my other loot....today I got a Merkur 34c...and a tube of TOOBS lemon lime shave cream

From my wonderful wife! My initials are engraved on the front. "Always & Forever" is engraved on the blade. We had that song played at our wedding and it is something I write on every note and card I give her. 30 years this coming April! She's the best!

Very cool!!!! I can only imagine how its gonna be when me and my wife are 30 years down the line....only 24 and been married comin up on 2 years in july so we got a ways to go but I can only hope I can say we have been married 30 years some day!

Ive had one of those razor's Steve, very nice, and a fantastic gift,
