Happy New Year gentlemen! Although it's a "Free" week, let's see any new gear that you were lucky enough to receive over the holidays. For me, there were no new shaving products, so I stuck to the tried and true.

Another enjoyable shave with the Feather. And another with my '46 Milord...really a great razor. No nicks, cuts or weepies. Face and neck are quite smooth with just 2-pass WTG/XTG and no touch up. Lower neck not irritated at all, as was the case yesterday. Not sure sure the cost of the Feathers is worth it, though. I don’t think my beard-type is one that optimizes Feather qualities. I’m getting essentially the same shave from a Lord Platinum.

Muy buen afeitado en el estreno de esta navaja. Necesita que le de un poco más de cuero para suavizarla pero muy bien (es una Filarmónica DT remarcada, y preciosa). No hay como estrenar una navaja que llevaba decenas de años guardada en un cajón esperando a ser estrenada.
Water and soap :: Myrsol, emulsión :: Druida, Michelle, high mountain white 26mm :: Álvarez Gómez :: Mühle R101A, feather (#2) :: Myrsol, blue :: 444
After one day of rest, basically due to the use of the R41B, today I have chosen the R101A, definitely more aggressive... The razor has made a good job, letting me to hear its music as it was cutting the hairs of a one day beard.
The shaving cream is really good, giving a good protection and with a nice scent; this is something to take into account when you plan to buy new software...
Finally the Myrsol, first alone, and then combined with the 444 balm, has concluded this magnificent shave
Both the razor and aftershave were in my Stocking.

This was the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] shave with my Gillette Slim Twist and the GSB. I tried the LASS Bay Rum, and bowl lathered today. The LASS whipped up a great Bay Rum lather. I got a very nice smooth, close shave. The LASS Bay Rum scent is great! I finished with the V.I. Bay Rum.
