I got these two soaps from Santa. I’m normally a tallow soap guy, but these are both vegan. I have been wanting the Club Cola for a long time (I even started a thread asking if anybody knew of a shaving soap that smelled like Coca-Cola, lol). I have shaved through a tub of Savannah Sunrise before, with an older version of Dr. Jon‘s vegan soap base. It is one of my favorite scents in shaving, and I hear he has improved the base since.
I had a chance to shave with the Club Cola yesterday. Fantastic! Smelled great, lathered great, shaved great! Can’t wait to put both of these soaps into my regular rotation.

Yes it is! I’ve fallen down a couple of rabbit holes recently too! I just joined the 2021 Shave Purchase Sabbatical to hopefully help get some of the ADs under control!And it only started in October - this rabbit hole is indeed deep....
Merry Christmas

+1 I was given my grandfather’s razor a number of years ago really meant a lot to me, it’s always special when I shave with it! Way to go @Messygoon passing on the tradition! Merry Christmas!
Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you!
I'm on a wierd brush binge: large synthetics and Simpson Best Badger. It's got to be one or the other!
The German soap has the best scent ever, got to research it.

Nothing in the shaving line per se. But Miss Linda gave me two big soap bars, "Man Bars" they're called, and a bottle of hair/face/body wash. (No, she's not hinting; I shower every day and shave every 1-2. But maybe she doesn't care for the scent of Irish Spring soap.) She also gifted me with a bath towel with the Kokopelli figure embroidered on it; I picked up the face towel at Bed, Bath, & Beyond earlier this year, and now I have a matched set.
She's talking about my using one of those little poofy pad things to apply the body wash or soap. I say, "No. We men have tools for just that. They're called hands."

My wife got me all of this minus the watch. The watch came from my in-laws.
I love Wickham 1912 soaps. They are full of good stuff for your skin.

My darling wife went across town to purchase a Naniwa 5K Super Stone and lapping plate (I’ve been using sandpaper). Very spoiled indeed!

I really like Orient watches, most of them come close to Chronometer levels +/- 4 secs a day. The steel straps are IMO a bit clunky so I have them either on NATO/ZULU straps or on a Rubber 2 piece.

My condolences sir! The head banging emoji makes me laugh every time!CLOTHES!!
Merry Christmas!The Steinhart Vintage GMT I got myself for Christmas came on a steel bracelet. Just holding it in my hand, I thought it weighed more than my vintage Rolex Sub and Rolex Date combined. I put it on a NATO strap, the "Vintage Bond" stripe pattern, and it's much better.
