🥶 ❄️ ⛄️ 🧊 🎄 SOTD - “Winter" Theme Week - December 16th to 22nd, 2024 🥶 ❄️ ⛄️ 🧊 🎅

[SharpieB]

Hi there fellow B&Bers!

This week’s SOTD Theme is “Winter”. We are looking for some good winter shaving items and winter themed SOTD pics.

This year the winter solstice falls on Saturday, Dec. 21, officially kicking off winter in the Northern Hemisphere. It is getting colder out there for many of us and if you are anything like me, out comes the spicy and stronger scents.

We want to see your winter shaving stuff. Show us and tell us all about what you use in the colder weather. Apologies for our friends in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and others in the Southern Hemisphere, but you can play along with whatever gear you are currently using!

We want to see pics that include your favourite winter soaps, AS and fragrances! Bonus points if you incorporate non-shaving components into your images. Snow, winter wear, hot cocoa, etc.

Nothing winter themed? Please still post a pic of your usual shaving setups. Or post pics of your usual SOTD or just tell us all about it. Let’s see lots of themed posts this week!

As always, the weekly themes are just a suggestion, but being creative and having fun IS mandatory. We encourage you to post or shoot photos of your Shave Gear of the Day regardless.

Let’s see your winter shaving gear and winter themed photos!

Decent shave, pretty smooth and close enough but a little redness from too many touch ups around the adams apple.
Wish I could join this theme, but it's a predicted high of 41C/106F today, hope everyone else stays cosy and warm though!

Pre-Shave	Face wash with Cera Ve Face Soap
Soap/Cream	Cella
Brush	Omega EVO
Bowl	Captains Choice Copper & Old Spice Mug
In Razor	Mergress XL
Blade	Personna Lab
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Every Man Jack ASB
Fragrance	Jimmy Choo Man Intense
Rating	10/10
Comments	This was my second consecutive time using the Mergress XL and Personna Lab blade. I dialed the Mergress to a 3+ setting and the result was a very close, smooth shave. With that setting, for me, a gentle touch is essential. Today’s brush was an Omega EVO. I have two of these Omega brushes and find them better than my other synthetic brushes. This was the 31st shave from the Cella soap. The lather was rich and slick. This was a perfect BBS shave. Have a great day and week, folks.
