What should I put on my Christmas Wishlist?

[Deepiscool]

Good Morning Heroes,
I have $50 limit for a wishlist for Christmas. I can only receive one item. So far I have put on the list:

1. G5 Scuttle from Georgetown Pottery
2. Truefitt and Hill Soap with wooden bowl

Currently I have a parker22, Kiss my Face shave cream, and a badger brush. I'm a very low budget type of man. So I was hoping you could offer some suggestions for my wishlist.
Thanks

A Col.Conk soap or two (Almond smells edible!) and a tube of Proraso won't break your bank and will give you some very nice lather. To me, these "cheapies" should be in everyone's kit.

If you're looking for a single item <$50, then the 1 kilo block of Cella will last forever.

Do you have any suggestions for expensive items. I don't have to spend $50, someone else has to. I thought the scuttle would be nice or a nice soap but what about a new shaver? A shower mirror for shaving in the shower? something that I wouldn't buy on my own.

I would recommend picking up a few things so that you can find something that you like rather than one big purchase.

Something from this list:
TOBS cream of your choice ~$15
Cella soap ~$12
Tabac soap ~$12
MWF soap ~12
Proraso cream ~$10
Speick cream less than $10 I think
AS splash or balm for $10-$15 - maybe Speick or one of the Ogallala Bay Rum flavors
Omega Boar Brush - something like the 81052 which is around $17 I think
Maybe a blade sampler if you don't have one already.
If you want another razor I would recommend you pick up an SS from the B/S/T. Should be able to find a nice one for $10-15.


If you would rather go for a more expensive item, I would recommend a nice badger brush, depending on what your current badger is. You should be able to get something pretty nice for around $50.

If I had $50 to spend on one item, I'd go for a scuttle or a good brush, just because they fit in the right price range. You can treat yourself to new soaps, creams, even a new razor, for a lot less than $50. Not so for a good scuttle or brush. So those seem like good holiday splurge items.

I'm thinking about a scuttle myself, in fact (eying a Robert Becker, b/c of the price).
