    It should be pretty good if I do some shopping for myself again especially because I always combine Christmas and Birthday since mine is Nov. 20th
    I already have 2 things I want if I haven't acquired them yet. A Japanese straight razor and a dissecting microscope with a digital camera attachment I found the specific ones I want and am selling several things to get them so I may get them before then. What a shame that would be I'd have to pick something else on my list to get then.
    By the way what did you get. Please post Pics here if you can. Even if it'd not shaving related.

    1 kid hopefully it stays that way. I did most of the shopping if you did't notice in the list of items.

    Your wife is even more understanding than mine is, you lucky fellow! Congratulations and I hope you enjoy all of your gifts for many years. I will say that the finest Fathers Day present I have ever received was a large, very comfortable leather recliner. I lie in it every single day, and for longer than I care to admit.

    Awesome Father's Day present! If I got that, the Mrs. would get a "get out of Jail Free" card from me.

    My wife hasn't needed the get out of jail free card yet.
    I try to treat her as good as she deserves and I guess she sees that.

    I was lucky enough to be able to hang out with another member of SRP yesterday and He taught me how to properly hone the razors. With his help I got the Wade & Butcher shave ready and the other 2 just need a little touch up. We had a good time and I picked up allot of good tips on Honing, Stropping and shaving. I even picked up some tips on grilling since we had some T-bone Steaks with lots of great food and conversation to go with them and some Guinness to wash it down.
    Thanks to the kindness of that member (you know hew you are ) I'll be enjoying much better shaves and look forward to being able to one day pass that knowledge on to others
