2015 Holiday Wish List

I don't know whether I even qualify for this. I have never shaved with an injector razor and would love to have "Gillette trac-II injector a.k.a twinjector" (with couple of twin injector blades) as my first injector razor.



BTW, my display picture is the ad of twinjector ft. telly savalas.

Yup that is it. That is all what I wish for

Thanks!

 

The surprise gift is always the best so go for it! However, I have enough blades to last me thru my lifetime so no blades please. I also have lots of soaps and creames. Would reall like to try a pipe with tobacco after seeing all the Pipe of the day posts. Love surprises. I know this is shaving related gifts and I don't want to deviate too far from the guidelines but I think its really cool when you receive something local from what ever area the sender lives. I will not be disappointed with a local gift from Secret Santa.

Merry Christmas..(even though its only 11/01)

 

I'm not quite sure what I would put on my wish list. Nothing shave related since I like to get that myself.
I am trying to get into running and probably wouldn't mind something related to that. But except a few more pairs of Injinji running socks, I am mostly all set.

Of course I wouldn't mind an Apple Watch, but I have decided on waiting for the next generation before getting one of those.

Hmm, this was a boring post and not at all festive, but I guess I have never been too much into the whole christmas thing.

 

Hello gents!

Santa knows have a sensitivity to tobacco EO, so he knows no Tabac or the like.
Santa also knows that a Vintage Pinaud Veg bottle has attracted my eye for a while now.

I would also absolutely love anything that Santa thinks I should try.

 

Being as I have enough DE/SS Razor Blades to last until after the 2021 Presidential inauguration, and more than enough shaving soap pucks, maybe a good pre shave oil or After Shave Balm. or After Shave.

 

Gesundheit.

 

Dear Santa,
My razor wants are slim. The only thing that comes to mind is an Ikon 102 or Schick type F or type A repeater. Unless Santa has an extra Wolfman OC
I have great memories of the after shave my dad used when I was a kid. I would love some St. John's Bay Rum for sentimental reasons.
Other than that, most of my experience with soaps and creams has been with TOBS and Proraso creams and Arko and TSD soaps. I would like to try others, especially tallow soaps.
I am good on blades.
I am always willing to try something new. I'm easy to please. Surprise me with something that you like.
Thank you

 

Here are some ideas:

Hardware:

A razor handle, like a Maggard MR5, MR11, or something similar, medium-sized.

Software:

Unfortunately, my face can't handle menthol or any kind of fragrance, but I love to use a variety of unscented soaps. I would love to receive either of these:

- Mystic Waters Sensitive
- Barrister & Mann unscented

If you have a favorite local coffee that you would like to share, that would fun, too!

 

Great idea on the coffee beans. I like that.

 

Great shaving accessory.

 

Dear Secret Santa...

I recently started my journey with straight razors and vintage brush restorations. So any items that can assist me with that journey would be greatly appreciated.

In parenthesis is where you can find these items.

Synthetic Brush knot - 26mm aka Ubersoft (EnvyShave on Etsy)

Finest 2-band badger knot - 26mm (The Golden Nib)

Vintage Brushes to restore - I'm partial to the taller handles or anything with lucite.

I could use a straight razor honing certificate or voucher (hopefully Gem Star Customs will honor such an idea)

Brush

Soap - LPL (https://www.razorbladesandmore.com/content/le-pere-lucien-shaving-soap-refill-100g)

Soap Commander aftershave balm

PAA aftershave/cologne (citrus/woody or barbershop type scents)

I like the idea of adding Coffee Beans to the list so I'm going to "borrow" that idea...(thanks @MoAllen)

I think that's just about it....Thanks!

 

Good one. That made me laugh. Thanks!

Any of the following would be nice to add to collection:

Saponificio Varesino Arctic Tundra Shave Soap
Beaver WoodWright Thomas Tew Aftershave Splash

Straight Razor honing certificate: https://www.etsy.com/listing/130720641/honing-and-sharpening-services

 

I have so much shaving gear, that I'm not sure I need anything. I am almost out of Phoenix CaD shaving soap, which I love quite a bit. Other than that, I'm quite a coffee drinker...so some dark roast is always acceptable ;-)

 

a set of 3 RISE MENTHOL shaving creams will do for me. No Menthol? Oh, all right..I'll settle for PROTECTION PLUS. Gimme de vintage!!

 

One of the following from Santa would be nice -Mystic Water shave soap, Mikes natural shave soap, Cold river soap works (as I have not used a soap), a lime aftershave or a boar brush.

 

Is that the same Mike who runs Mike's Beauty Supply(presumably a chain)? I found that on the web.

 

actually, it was Mike's Beauty Supply that I googled, but I see it's a different Mike now.

 

Ya better watch out, Norseman....Santa might fire a soap puck past your mask and into the back of the net for that!!
