Glad my kids are past the visiting Santa phase. But one year my wife and I had our pic done with him to give my mom
I tried to get my kids to do it, but they wouldn't.

Hope your better half feels better for Thanksgiving!
I’m a regular night shaver and I have to say it is a great way to wind down every night.

I will do either or. It mainly depends on whether or not I oversleep. But late morning shaves on a day off are awesome!

WOW! Nice Straight! Hope the wife is 100% soon!
Now back to the real question...when will someone collect enough Santa Beard to make a magical Christmas Shave Brush!

Great shave this morning. Had an awesome lather going on too. I tried loading my brush a bit differently and it worked very well.
I hit the strop 20 laps on fabric and 50 laps on leather and was good to go. I went with my standard three passes: WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. I walked away with 98% BBS for the win!
Wrapped up my shave with a splash of water and a towel dry. A healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! Time for food, family and football. Gobble gobble. Life is good!

Breaking bread with family and friends. Tons of food and football. So many things to be thankful for. It was a great day! I hope your day was as well.

Mixed things up a bit for last nights shave. Grabbed the Dr Harris tube and my shave bowl. Since that boar holds alot of water, I went a little heavy on the cream. Whipped up a nice lather and got to it.

Wrapped up my shave with a splash of water and a towel dry. Then splashed on the WH and gave it a bit to dry. Then finished it up with the Nivia ASB. Cleaned up my gear and everything was right as rain! Life is good!
