The Grey NATO – 264 – The 2023 TGN Holiday Gift Guide
With the holiday season on the horizon, the TGN boys are back with a fresh gift guide for 2023! As with past examples, Jason and James each have five picks, four of which have to be under $150, while the last pick has no budget. From old-school razors to EDC gear, chargers, James Bond archives, and even some Lego, it’s a fun chat featuring a handful of our favorite gifts for you last-minute buyers.
From the start, Jason had a great book launch over the weekend, and James has a new titanium flyer GMT on his wrist. Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will further improve your gifting and your understanding of how to land a massive plane on an ice-covered runway in Antarctica.

“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver." Maya Angelou.
Always a great gift guide. If anyone is considering a safety razor for themselves of as a gift, the Rockwell as recommend by Jason is great. Also consider Henson razors. Many feel the Henson is a game changer for a comfortable shave. No affiliation, just a long time safety razor user. https://hensonshaving.com/
I always enjoy the holiday gift guide episodes. That GoRuck Kit bag looks like a winner!
I've wondered if the topic of safety razors would ever be discussed in an episode. Safety razors and shaving brushes are a rabbit hole that I started down 9 years ago and have yet to come up. If you're going to shave, it's a great way to go about it!
