Yes I shaved this evening (as I do every other evening) and yes it really was a great shave.

I haven't been posting of recent as life and it's burdons have slightly outweighed a few other matters. Posting on here being one.

But all has ended well in every way possible and I will return with a vengeance. The usual overly long SOTD's will once again pollute this section again.

More importantly I really must wish you all a most bodacious and wonderful Christmas and likewise to all your families.

Thanks for all your great shaving assistance this past year and I look forward to more as my next move is straights.

See, I haven't given in on this great shaving malarkey and on this great site.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL

Oh, by the way......

A shave before bedtime as I am up early for a twelve hour shift tomorrow [emoji22] will give myself a spritz of cologne before I head out the door. Wishing one and all a Merry Christmas especially all who keep the country running during the holidays. [emoji106][emoji319]

Pre: Hot Shower, blooming water massaged to face.

Brush: MÜHLE Vivo black fibre
SR: ATT M2/Kronos

Post: Nivea sensitive balm
Smelly: Dior Sauvage

A lovely, luxurious post work, Christmas Eve 3 pass BBS shave to set me up for the festivities.

I've not posted much this month, because as a Postie, I have, quite literally, been rushed off my feet for the past few weeks!

Also my regime and kit has been almost identical, the only difference is that I've been alternating between Polsilver Lodz and Polsilver Super Iridium to try and decide which I prefer.

By a very short nose, the Lodz wins, but at almost twice the price, they're not twice as good. I need to decide if I'm going to be sensible and buy 100 SI, or just treat myself and buy 100 Lodzo_O.

I'm loving the ATT I stole off @Satanfriendly, it just feels right in my hand and on my face. Not had a nick or cut for ages either, just a succession of BBS irritation free shaves so my technique and regime must be getting there.

I'm in love with the Spitfire soap too, such an evocative scent coupled with a great lather.

Have a fantastic festive season gentlemen.
