My shave will consist of some TOBS Coconut cream, an AP Shave Co 24mm Cashmere brush and the 6S (R4) with a 2nd use Perma Sharp.
Christmas Eve/Christmas Day shave?

I might just give myself a present. A new Feather Hi-Stainless blade in my razor.
Tomorrow morning will be Captain's Choice Sandalwood soap and Barrister and Mann Bay Rum splash. Christmas Day will be Space Nog soap and Bootlegger's Bay Rum splash. Both days will be the Karve razors, open comb and safety bar.

In the end, I didn't use La Toja at all. My choice was Tabac from the stick as a pre-shave after the shower, then Trumper's Almond Cream. Good, very close shave, as usual with my slant razors.
Tomorrow? It's not a regular shave day. Doesn't mean I won't break my own rule, of course. If I do, then I'll skip Saturday and get back in the rhythm (4 shaves a week) on Sunday.

I'm thinking of going with a "traditional" scent
...maybe Old Spice or Bay Rum.

I’ll be traveling so it’ll be a Gillette Tech, Viking’s Sword blade, Arko stick and some Old Spice aftershave. A bit envious of all the cool themed shaves here though! Merry Christmas to all!

I shaved today as it is a work day. Tomorrow I will wait to shave until after presents are opened. With luck Santa will have left me something new to use when I shave!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Nothing too special for me As I have too many soaps to have bought anything Christmas specific this year. I likely won’t shave tomorrow but will this afternoon...
HeV Cognac and Cuban Cigars soap, Semogue 1800 brush, Rockwell 6S razor and a Personna Crystal blade.

Christmas is the anniversary of my grandfather's death, so I will be using his service contract tech from WWII in his memory. I will be using M&M Ogham Stone soap and AS balm, as the fragrance of the frankincense and myrrh gets me ready for mass.
I'll be having my Christmas Eve shave in a while. I'm leaning towards using holiday green for some pieces of my kit: the terrific Omega Jade boar along with the best soap in my den, Ethos Greenfresh. The rest of my shave will consist of my WR1 .74 with a Schick Plus Platinum blade. Finish it off with some Ethos Unscented Skin Food splash & I should be in quite the holiday mood!
A festive Christmas Eve shave with Cella this morning, it smells just right. Broke out the synthetic Black and White to add a little class. Dovo Stainless is a preferred razor having sentimental value. I’ll see what strikes me tomorrow. Merry Christmas.
I oughtn't have shaved today. My face is so smooth that I think the fresh Wilkinson blade I'll take to it tomorrow won't have much to bite. Today was the fifth shave with an Astra SP, and I think I threw that one away prematurely. Two passes yielded a BBS result. Anyway, the Christmas-morn shave will be in my usual routine: Clinique face soap, Proraso Red pre-shave cream, Mitchell's Wool Fat soap lathered with a WCS Silvertip brush, and the Wilkinson Sword blade clamped into my Rockwell 6S black with R3 plate. I'll finish with Clinique Post-Shave Soother and possibly another course of Red in the event of any lingering irritation.
I'm going to stick a new Feather in my R41 and attempt a BBS.
And to appologize in advance in case something goes terribly wrong, I'm going to use TBS maca root, as a peace offering to my face.

this christmas eve...
Nothing special.
1. Beard: trimmed and shaped!
2. Head: Mach 3 Turbo + Start cart / Denim Original / No Brush
3. Face: Baili TTO + Feather Hi-Stainless / Denim Original / No Brush
4. Detail work: Kai Captain + Univinlions / American Crew Precision Gel
First shave with the Baili. I was expecting a milder razor; while it achieved BBS, it left behind some irritation on my neck: not as good a match for a Feather as I was hoping, will have to try a different blade.
Despite good performance, I'm only using the Denim cream because I want to finish the tube.
Some Proraso White for a mild scent that doesn't kill me if I put a mask on and hopefully fends off some of the irritation.
