Thanks! Most of the posted pictures in these threads look so great, that I think some people here are not just fans of classic shaving but also professional photographers. Maybe in addition to listing shaving hardware/software in the SOTD posts we should also list camera used and settings

We do have a few professional photographers on the board but many of us are just amateurs that have found a fun way to combine our love of shaving with our love of photography.

Nice pic Eelco, Rob, etc.... another great SOTD week, thanks to everybody

KIMSON Horn Handle : Le Grelot 6/8 : Myrsol emulsion : Musgo Real SC : Polo Blue ASB : Polo Blue EDT



The last time I've used Musgo the lather was not very pleasant, but today it has been fantastic, great shave, and the lather always warm,...because I 've used the Varonia Scuttle, a one piece scuttle made in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo) a very known village for its artisans of pottery.

Wow! great pics already this Sunday morning - and great shaves all around - Rob, Neil your yesterday pics were great - is that brush new for you, Rob? Neil, are you going to keep the injector in your rotation?

Can't wait to see what pics & shaves the rest of the day brings!

thanks to all....

How is the new Penchetta breaking in?

It is breaking in pretty well. There is still some breaking in to do, I think, too. The knot is so short that I only get about 2 passes of lather on one charge. Winter is a particularly difficult time for me in shaving my neck, so I've been shaving just 2 passes every other day (or so) to cut down on the irritation and the little guy has been utilized in this.

It whips up a nice lather!
