Today was just an excellent shave. After using vegetal and non tallow soaps I wanted to shave with something tallow based. Art of Shaving without failure rewarded me that this morning. Tallow based shaving soaps really do make a difference and quality of lather really goes up a notch. I'm just happy my skin accepts tallow! Now the question is should I shave with MWF or ARKO tomorrow? Happy shavings and have a great day!
Outstanding!

Great shot, Béla!
Love the simplicity here, Marco, and the Color spash..simply beautiful!
Thank you, Robbin!
Thank you kindly, Robbin! I really like colour splash shots!
Thanks. The AdP compliments the XXX soap very nicely -- an old-school citrus/barbershop kind of scent.
Many-many thanks to you David! I will try to continue...Easy once you get started, Jozsef. Thanks for another superb pic.....one more in a line of many to come, for sure!
Thanks, Robbin.
I currently have 15 straights in use, having sold 6 over the past 3 months or so. After 9 months of straight razor use, I have tried different blade sizes, grinds, and have settled for 6/8 and above, half to full hollow ground blades as my preferred choice.
Thank you so much! I have to say this was too an outstanding pic! I sometimes wish I had gotten the Semogue 2010 LE but didn't b/c I wanted a LE boar at the time. But ever since I a Shavemac D-01 Three Band I want a Semogue 2010 LE lol. Do you own a Shavemac or SOC 2Band, if so how do you compare the Semogue 2010 LE to those two?
Mk32 | Semogue | DC 1913 | Arlington | Xerjoff RichwoodWOW! What more could be said about this cast of characters? I may have walked out of the den after 2+ passes with my closest shave ever!
I concur!
The pics appearing in this forum are absolutely stunning!
I have other things to do tonight, so individual comments unfortunately are impossible. Please keep the pics coming for all of us to share and enjoy.
I have other things to do tonight, so individual comments unfortunately are impossible. Please keep the pics coming for all of us to share and enjoy.First, thank you for the kind words. I have a Shavemac Silvertip, but not a D-01, so I cannot compare the 2010 to that brush. Similarly, I do not have a SOC 2band. I've not used this brush much in recent weeks, so it was nice to return to it. I think it is a great little lather maker!
TGIF Tomorrow!

Balaji, in your shots I find a very good "photographic taste" for compositions, colours and enlightment. Congratulations indeed. This one is another beautiful pic.
A lovely Black & White shot, Robbin! And that GFT WI Limes Skin Food reminds me of my honeymoon in London in 2008. I did smell that fantastic SF for the first time in my life and I was in Trumpers shop in Jermyn Street. What beautiful memories.
