SOTD "SPECIAL EFFECTS WEEK" August 15th - 21st, 2016

Sam, if you haven't tried the soap you should. It's like having a root beer with your shave.

I don't want bubble-fizz in my nose when using a straight on an ATG pass.

@ronweston , please please please tell me that is a vintage knot!

Of course it is -- washed, shampooed and scritchy as ever. All my vintage brushes with usable knots get a chance before they are aligned for re-knotting.

@nikonNUT , Is the Holy Black container ceramic? I like the look of it.

Yes, sir!

@Hanover , now that is cool

Thanks Mister

 

[rockviper]

A great day of pics folks, some really good ones for sure. My pic-o-da-day for this end of SPECIAL EFFECTS week goes to a well placed finger in the photo!

And this pic just stuck with me as being something special, so it gets a special PIC-O-DA-WEEK selection!

Thanks gentlemen. I'll close this thread off after morning coffee tomorrow.

Thanks a bunch..

[MENTION=34037]rockviper[/MENTION] , it is actually an exact scale model of an ophthalmic stereoscope used in surgery. It was originally made/owned by the inventor of Zeiss microscopes. He made it in commemoration of his invention and would take it with him to meetings for "show and tell" reasons. It was given to me by a pathologist (medical laboratory MD) at the hospital I work at as a gift. I'm a medical scientist, so microscopes/stereoscopes are a huge interest of mine, and this model has fantastic history. Thanks for noticing! It sits on my desk next to my diploma.

@alfredus , very nice. Thanks for the info on the porcelain lather dish

@ronweston , "Shave your mug" ... Haven't even had my coffee and I'm smiling already.
@DblD , Morning poetry!!!!
@BobLH , beautiful simplicity
@Wiwicks , I have no idea what that is (old school nasal rinse machine? LOL), but I LIKE IT!
@gemini68j , I thought you were making Vodka lather this morning!
@shm , Wow, that Pen's bottle looks small
@UngerWoo , I can't believe there was something to actually math the colours of that funky brush. I'm digging it
@razorguy , looks like a wonderful start to someone's day
@Bobcat , Mutual of Omaha presents Marlin Perkins and "Wild Kingdom" ... childhood flashbacks
@Cash_Stronomer , "Awaiting sunrise" ... I hope you were sipping some java while taking this relaxing pic. Great job

Always a pleasure to help

@Navarrsky , custom brushes rule!
