‘Twas the shave before Christmas and lest we forget
That double edge blades from PPI Gillette
Are sharp and real smooth all fresh from their tucks
That they float away whiskers like water off ducks

Nacet in my Fatip, tight under its cap
Awaited my lathering before its attack
Omega with Raktvål from North Carolina
Painted a great lather with slickness none finer

Mama playing Stardew and Wee Babby asleep
My razor hit stubble not shallow nor steep
It flew through my whiskers like Bonnie and Clyde
All against the grain and all in the Gillette Slide

And what to my wondering eyes did appear?
A stubble-free smile as I grinned ear-to-ear
Now you’ll read me exclaim before I’m out like a light
”Merry Christmas to all, may it be dyn-o-mite!”

12/25 Christmas Day shave:

IMG_0917.jpeg

Atelier Durdan No.7 razor (1.1 plate)
Vie Long Boar
Grooming Dept. Pomp Soap
Duke Cannon Ice Cold balm

Great Christmas Day shave. I've been enjoying the Atelier Durdan No.7 passaround which is coming to an end. The Vie Long boar is a sloppy and floppy pig fest but a good time had by all. I think I got it free or as an add on from a BST purchase a few years ago. I should use it more as it is fun. I'll certainly use it more than the once or twice per year which I've been doing since I've had it. The Pomp soap is amazing and eagerly awaiting the Black Friday order from Aion Skincare (formerly Grooming Department) as I purchased 3 pomp soaps and 2 pomp AS splash. All in all DFS+

December 25, 2024 Wednesday shave

Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (2)
Soap: Cella red
Brush: Omega 10049 Professional boar
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Nor'easter

Today's shave was carefully planned, using specially selected items, since today is special. I figured that I had better get with it and use a boar brush since DecemBOAR is quickly running out. The Overlander is in a class of its own, always a perfect shave. The shave was truly terrific.
