I am hoping the holiday season is finding you healthy, happy, and well-rested. I was fortunate to receive AOS Lavender Soap in the teak bowl, Kell's Bay Rum Soap, Maca Root Shave Cream, and an AOS gift card. I was really impressed with the Maca Root Shave Cream, as it lathers very quickly and is extremely slick! Will use the others on Wednesday and Thursday. I still have to use MWF on Tuesday! Anyway, what did you get? Did you specifically ask for it, or were others keyed in to your favorites?
I had added an iKon H2O to my Amazon wishlist and then deleted it from the list within hours. I was shocked to find that TWGW somehow caught that I had the razor on the list and then later got the razor anyway (after a little research to figure out what and where to get it...) Yay!!! gonna give it a spin in the morning!!!
Being my first Christmas since I started enjoying my shaves I was quite blessed with many shave related gifts. Simpson's Commodore X2 brush Mitchell's Wool Fat in ceramic dish Provence Sante Green Tea soap De Vergulde Hand tablet & 2 sticks 3x Godrej creams Dettol Cool cream 2x Shea Moisture Ultimate shave brush Vie-Long 13061 "Zurito" horsehair brush RazoRock XXX croap Will also be ordering with some Christmas money the following: Muhle R41 Grande Tabac in bowl
British Sterling Cologne for me, nothing shaving related though. I did receive a 3 line Swaty as an early Christmas gift from my mom which is great.
EJ DE87 , some EJ Shaving Cream and blades (20 Lord Platinum, 20 Bolzano Superinox, 20 Astra Platinum, 10 Shark, 10 Croma, 10 Rapira, and 10 Merkur). Still have money left over so I've been hunting eBay like a fiend trying to find a nice FatBoy for a non-insane price which hasn't been successful thus far, may settle for a SuperSpeed. I love when my wife supports a hobby

I made a trade for a Barbasol razor that arrived on Christmas Eve. The only other thing sharp enough to shave with was a Spyderco Caly 3.5 in Super Blue that my father gifted me.
I didn't get anything shaving related... Mostly because my GF doesn't know much about it. Thinks the razors are pretty and the brushes neat and smelly nice with soaps. But thats about all she knows haha, I am trying to get her started but need to get a all natural soap without dyes, scents... well unorganic ones. ANYWAYS, Looks like you guys all lucked out especially with the secret Santa exchange.
I got lot's of cash, weird as I am 46, but the siblings sent cash cards, and the parents embarrassed me with a check.
