Thanksgiving Week here in the U.S. Time to be grateful for God, country, family and friends (like all of you here at TSD!) But it also doesn't hurt to be grateful for new shave goodies! ;) So post 'em up! Whatcha got?

The first time I heard of Thanksgiving was in 1995 or 1996, probably in a American book or a TV show. Today, I realised that Thanksgiving was composed of thanks and giving. I learn new things everyday.

1940s Gillette "Milord" TTO. I only paid $5 for it since it has plating issues. It cleaned up nice and works great but visually, it's a mess. :D

They are not shave items but they are my two scores of the week, my two biggest hobbies are wet shaving and thriller litterature, pictures of the score below:

in the mail today. Thanks to Mark at superlather.com for the great service and care in packing the Floid Blue. I really enjoy the fresh, clean scent of the Blue. Different from the Italian and Spanish as Isaac said. Great stuff.

Porsche Design Lighter (regular lighter, not torch)

Peterson Spigot XL. This one is bigger than most Peterson I’ve seen and uses 9mm filters, which I’m not sure are that great.

Very nice Yukio :drool:drool:drool:drool:drool

Yup, I’ve just tried the Peterson and I’m totally blown away. I was a bit afraid as my other Peterson wasn’t that great a smoker. This one is top-notch and certainly equals my Vauen. I’m kind of relieved because the only pipes that please my eyes are black & silver and Peterson makes 80% of them.

Then I really suggest you buy a XL model. The regular ones are too thin and tend to get hot very quickly.

The only Peterson I have is a Rock of Cashel 999 Rhodesian, very comfortable in the hand but quite thin toward the bottom of the bowl.

Just make sure to light the ceegar with the cedar.....
and dont forget the pipe !

Never did publicly thank Steve for the cufflinks he sent me for the Military Ball last week.
This guy......
I bought a tux and needed some cool cufflinks.
Knowing Steve is a collector, I asked him for a reference for a place to pick up some nice ones.
He sent me 2 TWO pair, out of the goodness of his heart.
heres to you, Bro ! ::
Youre the greatest
