Now I gotta say this theme has Little Miss Christmas (My Wife) very involved, so all decorations are with tons of help from Mrs. Gssixgun

For the first day of SOTD Christmas it will be the Custom Harner Damascus...
Simple lather on the face with some Prairie Creations Bay Rum, a single pass shave followed by Superior 70 Menthol Bay Rum Splash..

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Prep: Shower/Hot towel
Strop: Vintage A H Christians and Sons Waverley
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Proraso
Razor: Long Life 145 11/16
A/S: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
Result: Fantastic Sunday night shave. This razor is quite light and easy to wield. I haven't used it for several months and forgot what a nice edge it had. Very satisfying.

This razor belonged to my late grandfather. My dad dug it up in his garage for me around a year ago. It was coated in some vaseline and apart from a couple of little rust spots it was in beautiful condition. Even had a decent edge, after sitting in its box for decades, I washed it and shaved with it. I have since cleaned it up a little and touched up the edge and its a valuable part of the collection.

I'm enjoying the themed week already
Have a great week gentlemen
