A blessed and happy Thanksgiving to you all. One of the things that I am thankful for is B&B and the great moderators that make this wonderful community possible.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower Razor: 5/8" Wade & Butcher "Special", Hollow, Spike Point Brush: 22mm New Forest Silvertip Badger Überlather: Al Raz' Custom Shave Creme + Glycerin Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer Cologne: Penhaligon Opus 1870 Result: After a nice strenuous hike in the mountains with my wife on this crisp, Thanksgiving morning, I was prepped and ready for a nice treat. As most of us know, today is a special day in the US, and a special day calls for nothing short of a special hardware. The wade & Butcher is one of Glen's restores. Since I know the kind of edge that Glen put on this beauty, I know what to watch out for (last time, I almost killed myself
). However, a razor is just half of the shaving equation...a special razor requires the best überlather and I can't think of any better way of making it than by using one of the best shaving cremes in the market...i.e., "Da Bomb". The custom scent (Cloves, Orange and a hint of cinnamon) is truly intoxicating and very fitting, especially during the holidays. What a treat
!!!! My face feels so smooth that I could even skip Friday's shave altogether...but, that ain't happening. Now, I am ready for tonight's eating frenzy. View attachment 133736
I wish all of you who celebrate this special day a very happy Thanksgiving holiday. Have a great one gentlemen

Glad to shower and shave this morning. Needed to make some extra cash this year so I put out that I would smoke or fry turkies this year, the catch was that they had to provide the THAWED turkey. I had 20 people wanting smoked turkies and 50 wanting fried. I had THREE smokers going and 2 fryers going since 5pm yesterday. The last person came about an hour ago and I have finally calmed down to help my family with our dinner.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And to all of our troops overseas missing this time with their families a super big THANK YOU. Be safe and I hope you can be with your families soon.
