SUNDAY COMMENTS:


@DblD - Excellent portrait of a shave I'd love to have! How did the Double Ring handle?
@shiomoto - Fine looking horizontal shot.
@caus24 - Nice close-in pic. Like your arrangement.
@skypsyd - Neat low angle photo, Dave. Placement is quite effective. The Proraso ad backdrop is just right.
@Jnatcat - The spice is right for this shave, Will. Attractive set up.
@Clint64 - Handsome layout. The overhead orientation is perfect for this shot.
@shm - Another fine venture in shaving caught in quite an artistic array, Søren.
@carm-gs - Your grouping is quite photogenic.
@chibi - Sweet looking pic. I might have second thoughts about using Sweeny Todd with a straight....
@blexa - Attractive close arrangement. Like the wood pedestal and background greenery.
@Ajwien - Good angle for this casual alignment. Like the color tone. Interesting backdrop.
@mcdig - Inviting high angle pic of a high class shave, Mark.
@Thalasos - The overhead perspective provides an interesting view of your layout.
@jfim88 - Superb close up. The Semogue LE and the Wolfman make a great pairing ... and they both have great handles.
@razorguy - Lovely photo of a jaw-dropping razor. What a looker!
@doc47 - Stunning picture, Dan. The Aristocrat is pristine.
@CaptainGreybeard - Beautiful alignment for this photo. You can't go wrong with Cella!
@Doug57 - Finely composed arrayment, Doug. Makes for a first-rate presentation. Like the overhead shot.
@Hanover - Well, this is a shave to put you into the spirit of the season, Mark. Nice razor rest.
@Extrawurst - Like this minimalistic approach. Nice close up pic.
@Bobcat - Great looking Fuller brush, Bob.
@SCshaver - Glad you're on the right track with the Wolfman.
@UngerWoo - First-rate presentation. Like the orientation of the Timeless.
@cmh737 - Oh, I love this picture, Chris. The highlighted blade and the shadowed elements are quite striking.
@jmudrick - Excellent high angle b&w. Like the way you aligned your elements.
@Dagwoodz - Ah, nice recumbent shave photo, Josh. The brush probably needs the rest! Don't remember if I've asked but how does the Nostalgia perform?
@blzrfn - Beautiful picture, Dave. The Type D is gorgeous. Does it shave differently than other Schick injectors? Neat cup!
@lindyhop66 - Comely shot. The flower petal is quite a nice touch.
@Smooth Steve - Fine diagonal layout, Steve. I like the way you use your soaps in photos.
@sarimento1 - Murray, if you're going to display your shave this is the way to do it! That's a neat Erskine.
@EzraCobb - Creative presentation pic, Jamie. Like the wood. Excellent commentary.
@Mriedi - Welcome to SOTD. Thank you for gracing us with your first post. Quite attractive filter to a fine photo.
@samlark - Spot-on picture, Sammy. Neat looking clone. I wonder if it's as aggressive as the Futur? Like that Island Lime bottle.
@PACO GALAN - Another intriguing shave photo. Love the razor handle.
@eezee - How did you like the Green Mountain Lime Vetiver? Was it a good base for this lime accented shave?
@xxlpack - Nice close-in shot. By the way, I really like your avatar!
@Peter_A - That's a well bloomed Kent, Peter. How do you like the Trumper Skin Food?
@nikonNUT - Just can't get enough ... of The Holy Black!
@sandstone - Marvelous photo, Phil! You can almost see an iridescent sign flashing: Quality Shave! To me that Tabaca Veg and bottle have an alchemical look....

Thanks Ron,
All of that came in the ad tin shown, and was gifted to me the evening earlier by some friends. 1st time using the Green Tea and Oatmeal version of Proraso, they are very nice.

That is pretty neat, Dave. I've used the Proraso White pre-shave cream and after shave lotion but not the shave cream itself. I should rectify that!
