A nice shave today!
While shaving I stopped to think how much I have to be thankful for:
A warm room!
Controllable hot and cold running water!
A sink with a drain.
A choice of fine razors.
Really sharp blades for a pittance.
Great soaps.
Clean towels
A wondrous list of after shaves.
Clean clothes to wear.
A great coffee blend brewing in the kitchen!
And:
Friends such as you!
Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Thursday morning


Joseph Smith & Sons near wedge 13/16
hot towel & noxzema
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Semogue SOC 24mm boar reset @ 47mm
alum block & witch-hazel





Mild and partly overcast here this morning, 28ºF/-2ºC at 07:00, clearing this afternoon with highs 65ºF/18ºC. A great shave with the Joseph Smith this morning, this one seems to be holding it's edge nicely as well. The Mitchell's & SOC were aces, as ever. Standard pre- & -post, all for a lovely turkey day shave. Have a good 'un folks.

Happy Thanksgiving! Most people tend to focus on what they don't have. Today, no matter who you are or where you are, take a minute to focus on what you do have and give thanks for the blessings in your life. Then have a piece of pie, six or seven beers and watch some damn football! Love me some Thanksgiving, it's my favorite holiday.

Anyway, my Thanksgiving shave goes something like this:
Razor: Torrey Barber Tip
Brush: VDH Badger
Soap: Geo. F. Trumpers Eucris
AS: RazorRock Alum, Skin Bracer
Finish: Polo Red

Quick Thursday touch-up
No prep
Gillette Toggle razor - Astra blade - custom silvertip badger brush - TOBS lavender cream - cold water splash - Thayer's witch hazel - L'Oreal balm - Piper Nigrum EdT

No Thanksgiving this side of the pond, but I do envy you guys in the US.
I think it's a great way to stop and think about what you already have in life and be thankful for it.
A quick touch-up today as time is short and me and the Mrs are out for drinks tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving Gents!
