'Twas the morning of Christmas and time for a shave
I open the cabinet and the situation is grave.

Too many choices thanks for badger and blade
Hoping St. Nick would come to my aid.

The ideas came to me one at a time
And its hard to find something to rhyme.

So I grabbed my HD and favorite Merkur blade
The Shavemac was ready to lather the face.

QED Begamot can't go wrong there
After the second pass there was no more facial hair.

Some post shave care with an alum block
Then some SCS Tony's Choice Sensitive balm, not a lot.

To round out the event something quite nice.
A half spray of SCS New Spice.

A+++ shave today, my second in a row using the Greek olive oil soap for the super lather. The skin care and lather is top notch, while the eshave ASB w/ Shea butter was just a perfect way to finish off the skin pampering.
Happy Hollidays!

Jeff,
Ich wohne in Wisconsin und hier ist es auch wie Frühling! Grün und kein Schnee...leider ist es kalt.

Frohliche Weinachten!

Stick with it! I think you'll find once you figure it out you will consistently have superior shaves.

Nice pic btw.

This may bring about a gasp or two, but today I had too much lather. I had enough to contribute to some impoverished country.

The AOS lemon seems to create more lather than any other cream I own. This was also accomplished with a very small brush.
