Long sleeve shirts, winter socks and a robe. Works for me.
Cannot complain. Santa found and looked after me again this year.
New undies, check! New comfy warm wear, dbl check. Lee Valley gift card, triple check.
Few watch accessories from my lad. A wooden case to hold them all being one.
Still space for one more really nice one, hehe. Maybe next year..

I spoiled the missez this year with a very warm winter coat! She will need the extra layers this season.
Plus she looks great in red!
Attachment 345714
The usual things like a new Hoodie (I love Hoodies) shirts etc: but she also got me a bottle of the New Johnnie Walker High Rye
WOW !!! can't believe how smooth it was, last night in front of the woodstove...
Hope everyone is having a great Christmas..
I didn't open a present this Christmas and I am happy. My missez and I especially after being together for a while get what we want and it is hard to buy for each other. Christmas eve I picked up my new safety glasses and she is still looking for the new phone that catches her eye.
Covid still is having its effect and due to a couple of my immediate family having it has delayed my immediate family get together until the 7th of Jan. I will get with the grandchildren then! :D Nothing bad but I hope that next year we are all healthy at the same time.
no presents to open this year, Mrs. and I went to visit her sister in Nashville and decided that would be our gift to each other. That makes it easier anyway. She was sick all weekend so we didn't get to go anywhere or see anyone. Kind of a bummer weekend.
I keep telling the kids that I don't need or want anything. BUT they never listen.
My oldest daughter got me a jack shirt, my youngest daughter got me some homemade treats and some commercial venison and elk sausages and my son got me a little brush and a holder for it.

Yea Yea I know. It's really not a chinese razor, but the box is! It says F.W. Engels in the other side of the blade. Never had one of these but it looks like a good shaver. I'll let you know. I am going to use it tonight.
Nice one John. That one is in really nice shape. Engels razors are really tough and you should get a lot of good shaves from a single honing.
Pretty nice, John.
Think I have an Engels. Good shaver.
Pain to clean around those Bo,steers but a pretty blade!
Enjoy.
From China? Unusual!
FW Engels was a New York based Distributor of Solingen-made razors.
Excellent FWE Special. I have read several times that Barber's preferred them. Likely one of the best ever. Enjoy!
Oh! That is Hansel and Gretel on the tang!
Sorry, didn't see the question till now:
I love the cream, typical luxurious lather that TOBs gives. The scent is warm and slightly spicy. Does remind me of a tobacco leaf with maybe some leather and vanilla. It might be my new favorite.
Santa took my wife, two kids, and three of their friends down to Florida for winter break. Two days at Disney too. Santa was extra generous, as the kids are getting older and big family trips might not be their thing for much longer. (daughter is 22 and son is 21)
I shaved with that FW Engels last evening. The shave was incredible! I have some very smooth razors, but that one has taken the cake. I can't get my wife to tell me where she got it or what she paid for it though. She just said, "Gifts such as these are to be graciously accepted and never questioned." I guess there is wisdom in that....
I got a weight bench and a new pipe knife.
My mother in law bought me beer, she knows me well :beer1:
We do a secret Santa on my side as all the kids basically clear out the banks lol, my secret santa got me a new cooking apron, some measuring devices and some dried chillies.
