Thanks Guido. Much appreciated. Enjoy the remainder of your holidays.

Too late John! Soaps maybe - that would be relatively easy. But receiving a Razorine and then not using it for a month?! Too BOSC for that!I think I will label myself out. I received my birthday gifts today and I could not be happier with my gifts:
When I get the chance I will post pictures.
- Razorine Flatboy with 70 and 72 handles
- Kox/Dutchy Bergamot hard soap with green Kox enemel shaving bowl
- Haslinger Sandelholz with green Kox enemel shaving bowl
- Travelbrush in blue aluminium (unbranded)
- Leather toilet bag by Galen
Reason for labelling myself out is that I have not specifically asked for these wonderful items nor hinted, but my family did do check-ins to make sure they bought the right or wanted shaving gear. I am not sure if that fits our rules of engagement so I am following the rule 'if you have to ask you are probably out' and declare myself out. I will however continue to post and root for all remaining gents!

Have a Great day everyone
Those are some mighty nice new supplies!
BUT since you said "I have not specifically asked for these wonderful items nor hinted" I suggest you defer using the new supplies till next month and stay with us. Problem Solved!
Many grumers enjoy your post.
John...
.But I like your thinking along!

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Guido 
Happy Birthday Guido!!
Hey @couch_potato you may want to check out this thread SWS . There are a few of us who like to pick the same gear for a week. lol, it helps with daily decision fatigue!!GRUME July '22 #4
In the spirit of understanding what equipment we have and utilizing it in best way, sticked with Piccolo OC, Wilkinson blade #9 still working great, with a minor twist od using boar brush instead. Lather was much watery, but I felt like I'd need some scrubbing. For best results I'll def. stick with same equipment at least for a week/month, daily rotations - if it works for you great, not my cup of tea tbh
I prefer consistency. Still didn't affect shave, 1pass enough for DFS, but really nothing left for touch-up
Wow, didn't know about that
Seems as right place, thanks for sharing

Pre-Shave: Icy cold splashes on face, neck, shoulders and arms and Glyce Lime pre-shave soap

Shave: 2X WTG
Post-Shave: Ice water splashes, Lucky Tiger Face Tonic and moisturizers

Bergamot and Thyme is a very refreshing and enjoyable soap. It is always a special treat so I only use it ocasionally. Its scent reminds me of the old Ivory detergent from my youth...which also reminds me of
ARKO THURSDAY for anyone interested!
This is the second time in 3 days I have used the Fatip razor. Is that telling me I like using a slant?
Good Day!

My thoughts on this: If you did not hint about shaving gear as gifts, and your family came to you to ask, "Would you enjoy these items or are they wasted money?", and you said, "I would enjoy them", that's fair dinkum.
I'm open to counter-arguments (or confirmation).

Speaking of which...I’m keeping my powder dry for Arko August
Arko August 2022
Gentlefolk, Here we go again - another year, another Arko August! I don't have the discipline to 3017 a soap, but I can use one for a month. In my quest to actually use up the soaps I have, that's my usual M.O. - one month, one soap - and August is for Arko. (Also, see this thread if you want...
