SOTD 24.12.2023
So either nobody shaved on Christmas or no one has posted yet? Either way, here's my SOTD from before my late shift:
1 pass head shave with a festive setup. NO Lonestar and festive? Yes, to me it smells like marzipan. Or at least very close to it. A nice comfortable shave.
The EdP sample smells nice, but I haven't worn it for long before changing into my work clothes. I'll see how I like this one.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!
Merry Christmas to you too!
The gold plated Flying Wing is 100% the most festive razor, and I'm a bit jealous I didn't think of itπ
Thanks DJ, have a fun and safe trip.
It really is the only gold plated razor I own - I'm not too keen on golden things, be it jewelry or razors. But vintage razors are an exception, especially this one. The plating coming off in certain places gives it a rugged charm. Plus it works really well for shaving my head and contouring my beard.
Btw, once you get back could you look through your pile of samples? Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to sending you the Reserve Classic, but there's a chunk missing and I can't remember sending it to anyone else.
I'll check Mount Smushmore when I'm back in the low lands π
