Birthday Wish List

[withoutink]

I am starting my birthday wish list for some friends and family who never can figure out what i want. Which to their defense is understandable... I normally don't want anything. This year I have been bitten by the Wet Shave bug.

Please note I don't want them to buy shavers / straights since they have no idea what I would like, plus I can always buy them here used

Let me know your thoughts / suggestions on things I may be missing.

Matt --

You can always add different soaps and creams incrementally over time. For a Birthday gift from WCS, get a *good* shaving brush. You can thank me later.

I have two really nice brushes, so no worries there...

Looks like you've got a pretty good list going, but where is the Clubman?

If you've got Tabac refill on your list, might as well go whole hog and get the entire range ... nothing goes better with Tabac SS like Tabac SC, ASL, EdT/EdC and Deo-stick.

And if they really can't decide, they could always give you a gift certificate, or one of those pre-paid Visa cards so you can choose your own stuff.

I already have Clubman Talc, AS, but you know I would try the Bay Rum AS they have. Thanks for reminding me =)

Great idea, but I have never smelled or even used the Tabac products, so I need to make sure I like it first. =)

Throw some Musgo on there too. Cream, Splash, and Balm. You won't be sorry.

No problem. That's what we're here for!

Big fan of Col. Conk stuff wow. Nice list though.

 

[withoutink]

Thanks! I have updated the list per recommendations I received... If there are any others I am missing let me know... The nice thing is most of the stuff on my list is rather inexpensive, so hopefully I get everything =)

I just bought the soap, then had to go back for the rest. It is better then cake and I love cake.

Awesome, I hope someone buys it for me... Cause if someone else gets it, I technically cannot say it was my -- Acquisition Disorder 8)

Same here ... I bought the soap+bowl first, and less than 3 days later I placed another order for the rest of the line, so I could indulge myself with the shave cream, ASL, EdT, and Deo-stick. I searched for another 2 months to find the Tabac Luxury Bath Soap.

Closing in on almost a year later, I'm still looking for Tabac ASB ... any ideas on where I can find that?

 

[dpmtherrien]

Your list looks good. That scuttle from Georgetown Pottery is the best. I use mine every shave. Good luck.

I haven't seen it anywhere. This might be a good excuse to travel to Germany for a week or so

Looks like a good list to me...glad to see you added the Clubman Bay Rum AS.
