Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!!

A little late getting posted today so that's why I put the music on earlier. Just got off the phone with my pops who's in Florida. Really miss seeing him this year. Had hoped we'd all get to be together for Christmas this year, but 2020 had other plans. Shooting for next year. Dad's making his famous "Pernil" that I'm VERY sorry I'll miss! It's always delicious. Gonna try my hand at one for New Years.

For those who don't know what pernil is, let me Google that for you.


Great shave today! First time using the new Rockwell Model T. Holy cow this is a big razor! Its like someone took a Gillette Slim and put it into the "Enormousizer" (I'm gonna trademark that!).. Check it out!

Huge!! And a great shaver to boot. Adjustable from 1 through 6 so I set it at 3. Was fairly aggressive so I think tomorrow I'll back it off to 2 and see how things go.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Excellent soap! Thick creamy and slick with a really nice pleasant scent.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was ok to smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a between bbs to dfs/ccs result. Excellent post & aftershaves. Rating 9.5/10

Merry Christmas Cadre!!

Hope you've had and are continuing to have a wonderful holiday.

Late post but had a fantastic shave earlier. I had the ROS soap and the wife got me the aftershave tonic for Christmas (along with many other shaving goodies!) so I went with that for today's shave.
