    Merry Christmas gentlemen and ladies of The Den !

    I’ve been having some photo work flow issues on the phone/tablet but now seem to have them resolved. Most of my workflow for the web is iPhone/iPad (two of them), and both Darkroom and Adobe Lightroom stopped being able to ‘see’ both iPad’s camera roll which made them kind of useless. Nothing worked until I deleted and re-installed the apps amd now they seem to be working normally.

    I’ll be posting images soon! I hope ....

    Cheers, Steve

    Christmas eve shave, Tanifuji MaxFli 5000 Stainless 6/8, Strop Shoppe Russian Tea tallow lathered with a 3-band lotus-style brush by Scott Lockwood, and topped off with some Lucky Tiger. The LT fragrance goes with the Russian Tea really well, but as we all know, LT only hangs atound a minute or three.

    Cheers, Steve

    Merry Christmas.

    Great looking razor I like the color, I wonder how hard it would be to make a brush handle that color. I really think that would look great. :happy088::smiley respect:

    Rare that I post shaves, but here's one for Decadent December.

    Proraso, my fav pre-shave, just a little goes a long way. Noxema? Fuggettaboutit!

    Stirling unscented, because I love the puffs of rich thick lather from mutton tallow, but not a super fan of most of the scents offered (although Scots Pine is OK with me).

    Lather up with the StirlingBadger Fan. Could be the greatest value around in badger. Love the handle. I'd drop the cash instantly for one with a syn tuxedo fan.

    Did the stropping routine then hit the ugly mug with a hot washcloth and relathered. No shortage of the suds. I became a cold water shaver with safeties, but grew to like hot with a straight.

    First time out with this Cocobolo scaled Sunday Shaver that the Lovely Mrs Headroom authorized for Christmas. Shoulderless 5/8 extra hollow, expertly honed at TSS. My first one is sooo delightful, I wanted a 2nd for a measure for when I undertake a rehone.

    Treated the skin to the limeflavored Trumpers Skin Food. I'll always have some of this magic elixir.

    The glorious Stank of the day is Tuscany for the finish. A sweet clean fresh floral aroma that you are sure NOT to like IF you are into the smells of ashtrays, bar rooms, or dirt naps. However the gals in the Headroom household love it, and yea, I still got myman-card.

    Hoping everyone had a Blessed Christmas!

    Wacker Classic 2. Two days in a row with this one. A little tugging, so he went back to the 8k and then the finisher. This one takes a scalpel sharp edge.
