Thread: Lets see your Christmas gifts!!!!

Well last year my fiance bought be a custom from Max and this year I get an Alex Jacques strop. With all of the talking and internet browsing I do, she's definitely catching on. I haven't had a chance to try the strop yet but it looks great!

oh and I have a vintage pocket watch on the way - hopefully I don't start collecting those as well

I thought that was to steady the hand ! I know I read that somewhere...

I have that strop and love it!

Me? I got a restored Rappenhagen, 2 antique shave mugs, Trueffit and Hill cream,D.R. Harris soap, Trueffit and Hill after shave balm, various pre shave oils, an Art of Shaving book from 1905, and a wind up splash fun scuba diver man for my tub.

I got a cool tee from Brothers family.

I got a box of Channel for men from Mom. Cologne and moisturizer to match my Channel Blue aftershave.

And If it counts those DDs on the upper shelf are what I bought myself for Christmas plus 3 others on the work bench, 3 DD brushes, 2 pairs of scissors, and a partridge, no, make that a DD barbers hone for settin' on my knee.

I have to decide on 1 of 2 New Years resolutions now. 1. Cancel E-bay account close Pay Pal. or 2. Design/build a walk-in medicine cabinet.

Didn't you hear ? The world ended and we are just part of our subconscious walking around in a daze !

Don't have a picture right now, but I got a DMT 325 lapping plate and a Naniwa 3k/8k. Plan on using it tomorrow for my first honing job!

Hey Parker, haven't heard you around in ages! Good luck with the honing, it's very fulfilling when you get it right...

BUT:

We took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge (indoor water park in Kansas City, Kansas) for a two night, three day bonanza lol! Great times!!

AND:

The terrible thing is... Great Wolf Lodge is next door to Cabela's! We might have gone for lunch (don't get the bison burger), and uh, might have got some other... "necessity's."

Good times!

No razor stuff - still trying to whittle down what I have - must be tough hey?

slept in the parking lot of that Cabela's before on our way out to Glen Elder for some duck hunting ..lol..

Update: Here's the real deal, fully stocked.
