SOTD "FREE WEEK" September 26th - October 2nd, 2016

[Quink]

I had no doubt that today's SOTDs would display superlative photos and descriptive posts. Gentlemen, you fulfilled my greatest expectations.

Congratulations to each of you.


@Quink - Fine looking autumn pic, JC. Congrats on your badger; they are fine brushes. I understand that Stirling has a new one on the horizon.



I hope everyone has had a great Saturday and that all of you are looking for a relaxing Sunday.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's cornucopia. I can hardly wait.

Have a good rest of your evening, gents.

Thanks Ron!! That is the new 26mm. Was released this week!!

@Hanover - Quite a dramatic photo, Mark. Love that bowl.

It's a fantastic bowl Ron. Well worth the wait time for it.

Much sooner than I expected. Guess I'll just have to break down and get one!

You're welcome Ron!! What do you think of Speick and Florena? Nice brush btw!!! Very nice!!

I though they were both great performers: easy to lather and had fine cushion and slickness. The fragrance was fine on both. They are on my list. Thanks again.

Great suggestion. Glad you did.

I've been looking at their bowls. I'll probably get one. I don't mind the wait.
