SWMBO wants to know what to get me for Christmas...

**h22o999** · 10-31-2010, 03:12 PM

So my SWMBO comes to me with the question that any man who wet shaves loves to hear...

"Hunny, what do you want for Christmas?" My eyes light up like a kid in the candy shop. So i'm recovering from a bout with RAD, in the first year that I have been wet shaving I have accuired nearly fifty razors (RAD won this round)...

So now just when I think my addictive personality has stabilized, I end up coming down with SBAD. In the past two weeks I have ordered a chubby horn custom from Rudy (just saw pics of it minutes ago, I love that man!!!

), I am putting a TGN 22mm super silvertip in it. I found an old ever-ready at the local antique shop, did a mild restoration on it and put a TGN 22mm grade A in it. I also purchased a Simpson Wee Scott, and having Bernd design a custom over at Shavemac. Not to mention I have my original Vulfix 2234 in super, that I started this money saving way of life with...

So my question is this; I was looking at purchasing a Simpson, maybe the Tulip 2 in two-band or something similar. What do you guys think? It's for Christmas so money takes a back seat on this one...

Best Regards,

Justin

If your shavemac is not a D01 or a two band flat top D01, ask for one of them. I cant say enough good things about them. Other than that maybe a Rooney Heritage 3 band. My Stubby 3 is as good as it gets for face lathering.

The Shavemac D01 wins for backbone, and the Stubby wins for soft tips. Good luck with your wish list!

I've owned a bunch of nice brushes...kent, shavemac, rooney and simpson as well as a semogue and i'll tell you...the $60 simpson colonel 2XL is pretty hard to beat, especially for the price.

i like it better than my rooney 3/1 and while it isn't as dense as my eagle G3, it's still very dense and works equally well with creams and soaps. you can spend more for a simpson brush, but there is a lot of goodness in the colonel.

If my SWMBO sees this she'll freak out for sure...

The first is a 22mm TGN Super Silvertip mounted in a Rudy Vey buffalo horn handle. The second is Edo's PJ1 I just bought off of the BST. Last but certainly not least is my new Tulip 3 in two-band from Roy here on B&B.

Now...What to tell her I want for Christmas???
