Gave Myself An Early Christmas Present!

[PipeSmokingDude]

For as long as I started shaving back when I was 18, I always wanted to own a genuine Simpsons Shaving Brush from the UK so I got two!

Also from Phoenix, AZ, USA, I got a razor worthy of the old Gillettes adjustables in the form of a Rex Konsul Razor.

I don’t own any straight razors but I love getting a straight razor shave from my Italian barber!

I once owned a few straight razors (Wade & Butcher / Filarmonica / Puma, etc. but in between having them honed on a Belgian Coticule and then stropped on a Kanayama leather strop it seemed too much work so I figured the next best thing - double edge razors are my thing.

Yes… but I took the time to say sorry Mr. Badger I’m sorry you ended up as a shaving brush. Besides, in China they eat badgers as we in North America eat chicken wings.

I love the anticipated Christmas gifts. Beautiful traditional shaving kit.
