Thanks, Ron! I think my main enjoyment of making shaving pics is the fact that I usually end up being surprised at what comes out. It's wonderful to have this venue to share this hobby with like minded enthusiasts.

 

[ronweston]

Exquisite photos and posts for Friday, gentlemen. It was a real pleasure to peruse them. Thank you for your contributions in pictures and prose.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Be seeing you.
