I must be living right.

Post by stagger »

It's Christmas time and the cat's outta the bag. Dear wife Deb just informed me as to what I am getting for Christmas. Normally we wait and surprise each other but this year we are doing things a bit differently. Apparently ol' Deb has been listening. LOL. Here are the important parts:

Kent BK4 brush
Mitchell's Wool Fat in ceramic bowl and an extra puck
Geo. F. Trumpers shave cream in the tub - Violet
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve aftershave
Kent shave brush stand

Wow. What awesome gifts from an even more awesome wife. I am so blessed ! And all I can say in closing about Christmas is that JESUS is the reason for the season, and I thank Him for giving me such an amazing woman to be my wife, lover, and bestest buddy.
Regards,

You'll love the BK4 -- it's the bee's knees of brushes in my estimation. Mated with MWF, you won't go wrong. Great combo there.

MWF, then the Violet, maybe alternating for several days of getting accustomed to the both of them.

I reckon it's gonna have to be the Fat then. Wife Deb also just told me to hit the Fat first so I guess I will have to be an obedient husband. Lol. Thanks for the replies gentlemen.

Postal delivery driver just dropped off a parcel with a tub of Trumpers Violet cream. I am a happy guy but I will have to wait till Christmas to use the new goodies. Still waiting on the rest of the stuff. Life is good.
