Tomorrow for me here in Australia is NYE. Last NYE I shaved both my head and face with a #1 level on my wahl clippers and felt great afterward, oh how this year will be different thanks to B&B!! :w00t:

I have put together my kit for tomorrows shave and here it is:

Razor: 7/8 No.14 Arbolito ~ restored by Max
Brush: Custom Silvertip Flat Top Shavemac ~ 21mm Knot / 45mm Loft
Soap: La Toja
Aftershave: 444 Balm followed by La Toja Splash
Honed on: Naniwa 1k,5k, 8k, 12k then finished on my Coticule
Stropped on: Kanayama #70,000 ~ 30 Laps Linen / 60 Laps Leather

It was 10F outside for my shave yesterday. Today it looks like all the snow will melt in Chicago. 35F right now, high of 44F. Up to 54F on NYE. To celebrate, I brought out the menthol AS.

Jaguar boar brush
Col Conk Bay Rum/VDH Deluxe mixture

I'm liking the Conk/VDH mix - an excellent shave with it this morning. Somehow in my mind the mix is better than the sum of its parts.
