Thread: Any suggestions?

So I've got a dilemma...

My wife and I are buying our own Xmas gifts this year and it's got me stumped. We've limited ourselves to $100 each, and I've got no clue what I should get, though I know i would like something shave related.

I've thought about SRD's felt strop with some diamond spray...then their modular set up...but then I think about a finishing stone...or maybe a 3" strop...and then I think maybe another razor...then I think about being confused on not know what the heck I want.

As far as what I've already got: 5 razors (1 new, the others vintage), a 2" strop, crox on balsa, and an old 3 line swaty. For soaps, I have a couple of the SRD ones, Cella, and Mitchells a Wool fat. Then of course there's a couple brushes and mugs somewhere in the mix.

This is driving me nuts...it's a lot harder to buy things for myself than for her!!! I'm sure she's laughing on the inside at my frustration.

You could by "50" Gold Dollar razors,,,

Hmmm...as much as I'd love 50 razors, I think I may just pass that idea up

Let's think about this logically.
You have limited yourself to $100 each
The modular strop is around $90 if I recall correctly
The strops can be had for under $100 easy
You could get several soaps and be under $100
The Naniwa 12k is around $75
And the diamond spray is fairly inexpensive....
Yup all of them are under a $100 each you should be good to go.....

Seriously looking at what you have in your line up a finisher would round it off nicely unless you have a want or need for the larger strop?
But this is just my 2 cents.

I like the way you're thinking! Too bad my bank account wouldn't agree though.

Go with cologne, a nice bottle of Arlington & TOBS Eton College,,,I just got both for under $100.00

I'm sure his wife would rather have him wearing the cologne, than walking around with a Naniwa 12K in his pocket,,,,

I don't think I'm looking for a cologne or aftershave at the moment, the ones I have I enjoy as well as my wife...so for the time being, that's off the list.

Hey this is a variation of a quote from an old Mae West movie: 'Is that a Naniwa 12K in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?' Not many members will get this one.....Geezer?
