SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - September 2012

[Optometrist]

* David & Andi, thank you both for the well wishes for my son!

David, i bought the soap from another member who had mixed the two scents together. i am having a minor challenge getting used to it, but the soap is very, very nice. i wish it had not been mixed, but i just wanted to try the soap,
i took it as it was. i don't know how much longer i can continue to use it, but i will give it a go.

Celestino, that mixture must be horrendous. You need a JabonMan soap as it comes, to fully respect what Manuel has achieved with his soaps. I can only imagine what a Vetiver/Rose mix smells like, and just thinking about it makes me want to reach!

All fantastic shots, Gentlemen!

Thank you, Marco.

What's your take on the scent of the Haitian Vetiver, Matt? The jury is out for me on this one. No doubt about the performance though.

Luis, and now you have TWO O&C's!!!!

* David, i know that you are correct on getting the Jabonman with its original scent. i will see about that. The smell of the Rose/Velvetier is a bit challenging for me and i will see how long i can endure it for.

* Luis, wonderful shot again!

* Keith, great photo! Has the sun come out, finally!

Schick E2 Injector razor w/ Schick blade (8)
Semogue 1305 boar bristle brush,
MWF shaving soap w/ warm water lather,
finish with cold water rinse for a DFS!

I really like your photos, Nick. The lather is always looking so good

And you have done it again, Luis.
Phenomenal photo. Simple, but very elegant
You are making it look so easy, but it is not - I have tried, but never get close to the quality in your photos.

Nice
And just wait until the brush is broken in - it will put a on your face

Thanks Soren!

How is the Ralph Lauren Safari soap?

I have two pucks of it I can't wait to use (it smells great).

 

[celestino]

* Soren, thanks for the compliment and your picture is very elegant, today, as usual!
i had no idea Pils meant beer in Danish. Hee hee.

 

[Riff Raff]

Thanks Soren, but no. Not Christmas Time yet. That is a gnome, not an elf or Santa. I don't start shopping for Christmas until December 23rd!

Thanks Soren!

How is the Ralph Lauren Safari soap?

I have two pucks of it I can't wait to use (it smells great).

I'm not too fond of the scent and performance wise despite it being a tallow based soap I rate it as a mid-range soap. Not great, but not bad either.

 

[celestino]

* Soren, great picture and i love those scales!

* Jamie, wonderful shot!

This is an AMAZING picture! I love the color contrast! Well done!

And the soap today, celestino? Great performer but how are you tolerating that scent?

* David, i am very impressed with Jabonman! Great soap! i am tolerating the scent as it is getting to be a bit much and i am not sure how long
i can continue to use it, but i will carry on like a good little trooper. Hee hee. By the way, do you know the ingredients for the soap?
i hope you are finally getting some sun!
