Last shave of the the month, well that was a strange year.
Even though I've grown a beard, I still have the occasional neck shave but it'd been over a week or so since my last one, and my neck was pretty itchy as is my face a lot of the time. I've had little motivation to shave off my beard though as it's quite commitment to clear the bath room after hacking it off, so it will be on my face for a while longer I imagine.
Anyway chaps, I hope you all have a great New Year's Eve, however subdued the occasion may be.
Are you a loony dooker?Seeing you end the year by using some of your Emporium bargains pleases me.
Happy New Year all and Hogmanay to our Scottish brethren.
No, but I enjoy looking at the picturesAre you a loony dooker?
Next shave up Brian!
Thanks Rob, All The Best for 2021Well, not quite, I had one on Tuesday, but because of operator error, it wasn't one of my best. My razor was tugging and dragging. I couldn't believe the 7 O'Clock black had dropped off the cliff after one superb shave, and it hadn't, as I finished the first pass I put my razor down on the sink and heard a little tinkle... guess who hadn't tightened the head up after rinsing out after his last shave...
So, here is my final shave of this dismal year, and in one way at least I'm finishing on a high...

A fantastic performance from @BrianH 's wonderful Patchouli Danum . Just perfection in a tin, the superb lathering performance that we have come to expect from Brian's soaps, plus an opulent scent. Lovely stuff.
3 passes for a BBS face feeler. I'm so impressed with the Indian 7 O'Clock blades I've been using, thanks @Boycie83 for sending me down that particular branch of the rabbit warren...
Hardly an indication from the A/S and the Balm was probably superfluous, but I need all the moisturisation I can get these days so it's all good.
A good spray of the Czech and Speake "88" parfum and I am silky smooth and smelling great, which seems a bit of a waste in Tier 4, but SWMBO loves the C&S, so it's not really wasted.
Have a good, safe NYE gents, however you choose to spend it.
That sounds good to me a clean soap scent thank youTo my nose it have a very faint scent from the base, which i best can describe as "clean soap".
That brush is Beautiful Chris. How do you get along with the Cade Balm was looking earlier and tempted !And for my final theme of this certainly different 2020 I give you 'The best of the best'

What a better way to end the year than with my 'Shave of the year' individual category winners. And what a great way to see out 2020 and all what it brought with it, in all the wrong ways.
Let's have 2021 bring more hope and optimism with it than this past 365 days. Saying that there were a lot of things I achieved and learnt because of all the restrictions.
A new garden
A new style cellar
How to set up a guitar
How to dye my wife's hair
How to cut my wife's hair
How to shave better
And how to enjoy the peace and serenity all of you have brought to this little place on the Internet in the midst of everything. You have been sterling and you have given a lot more than just shaving tips to the members here on TSR.
Have a Happy New Year all you shavateers

'Like fuck he did'
And a double header to see you out. First up 'Japanese girly band of the year' and those very talented ladies Band Maid with Domination
And especially for @Digimonkey Aldious and Dominator. I get the impression a little domination from Aldious would bring a wry little smile to his world
That brush is Beautiful Chris. How do you get along with the Cade Balm was looking earlier and tempted !
Thanks Chris , yes the Aftershave Balm I will get someThank you. Steve Is a true artist and craftsman
Cade aftershave? I get on wonderful with it. This is something like my 6th tube and I have one aside for when.
It is rather thick and possibly slightly greasy but it settles in to the skin beautifully with really nice moisturising properties
Go on. You know you want
