Gentlemen,

Let us bid farewell to 2014 and welcome the new year. I hope that last year served you well and wish you all the best in 2015. In that spirit, this week's theme is something old, something new. For me, I'm wearing the Fahrenheit Absolute I just received for Christmas, and pairing it with some old favorites; vintage Yardley, some Gillette Platinum Plus blades and one of my oldest razors, a Gillette New Standard. Next week, we will return to one of the favorites, with a black and white theme. If you have any other themes you would like to see, please PM me.
