Thank you for your excellent photos, descriptions and commentary, gentlemen. All were most heartily appreciated.



@Smooth Steve - Like your symmetrical layout, Steve.
@ram57 - Sumptuous shave photo. The Streamline is a beauty.
@skypsyd - Sheer elegance, Dave.
@DEdestroyer77 - Welcome to SOTD, Mike. Eye-catching arrangement.
@Navarrsky - Attractive pic. Like the uncommon positioning of the razor.
@Tenergy - Beautiful shot, Valeri. Love the brush.
@blexa - Superb photo. Elements aren't bad either!
@Dagwoodz - Yeah, that's an envy shave, Josh!
@Jnatcat - Sweet layout, Will.
@alfredus - Quite an artistic presentation.
@UngerWoo - Nicely toned picture. Love that frame.
@mcdig - Captivating, Mark. Love how the stripe pattern on the backing reflects the pattern of the Chubby.
@shm - This close grouping is very striking, Søren. That's a great stone.
@Clint64 - Like that triangular placement, Clint.
@evnpar - Very appealing arrayment. Neat dominant color.
@carm-gs - Fine overhead POV.
@Cash_Stronomer - Splendid brooding shot. Great rocky ledge for the guarding razor and brush.
@bobusa - The high angle gives a fine perspective of your layout. How to you like the Asylum Evolution?
@Bobcat - The Spoiler in the Fatboy: that's a fine teaming, Bob.
@blzrfn - Glad you're back, Dave. Three excellent photos. Is that small brush relegated to blade rest now?
@Antique Hoosier - Fetching close-in pic, Mike. Like the inclusion of the case of razors.
@ChrisVanMeer - Wonderful photo, Chris. Nicely placed. The blurring is quite effect, giving a moodiness to the photo.
@eezee - I'm beginning to think TOBS is a favorite cream for you, Erich.
@sarimento1 - Marvelous line up, Murray. Is this a hint of shaves to come?
@cmh737 - Sublime photo, Chris. A very tantalizing array.
@i_dont_bite - Fine picture. The tonal quality is quite attractive.
@cruise_bone - Gotta have a good lime shave ever so often. I like the green hue and as you suggested, quite apropos.
@prometeo - Your colors are very attention getting. Love the scuttle.
@Vesalio - Sweet looking shave in an accomplished bird's eye view. Love those products.
@Atalk - Fantastic photo, Mike. I keep meaning to buy a 65R; really like that handle.
@Sergio70 - Welcome to SOTD, Sergio. First-rate set up you have. Like the brush.
@GlazedBoker - Exquisite pic, Gus. That afternoon light is perfect.
@todas - Handsome presentation. Hope your weather stays changed for the better.
@ram57 - Another excursion into pirate land. How's La Concorde? That's one I don't have.
@Doug57 - Nifty shave portrait, Doug. Nice looking Red Tip.
@EzraCobb - I'm glad the travel shave was a decent shave using the canned foam, Jamie. A change of pace for you.
@xxlpack - If you're going to do a Tabac shave this is a great way to do it! Neat variation on your framing.
@DblD - How does the travel brush perform, Doug? Like the case for your razors.
@Smooth Steve - Lovely shot, Steve. Nice layout design and minimal vignetting.
@sandstone - The variations in blue are quite complementary, Phil. Your arrayment is spot on.
@evnpar - Love your diagonal alignment. Excellent lighting. Neat razor.
@skypsyd - Love that background, Dave. Bravo!


Time to say good evening, gents. See you soon.
 
Thanks Ron! The '@' thing doesn't seem to work with the new site?

Yes, try different blades to see how the razor performs with them. In time you'll probably want to add another razor or two.
Exactly what I was thinking. I definitely want to upgrade at some point, but for now, while I am still learning, this one will get me by.

Great shave this morning. I think I finally got the soap figured out. Great slickness. First time using a Gillette Nacet and I'm really impressed. Sharp and smooth. No problem cutting through 3 days growth. Might be a new favorite.
