Nicely done overhead POV. Like the water droplets.

Very slightly display. Neat placement of the blade. Gotta love the multi-frame!

Such an attractive sepia pic. Love the border.

Thanks for your comments Ron.

Never used Myrsol products before so gave this trio a try, extremely impressed with each product. The emulsion can be used as a pre shave and aftershave treatment.

Neat portrait of a Myrsol shave. How well did the cream lather? I have read it takes awhile to determine the ratio of product to water.

Razor: Merkur 23C
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless
Brush: Van Der Hagen Badger
Lather: Van Der Hagen Soap
Aftershave: Quorum A/S

A bit of a beginner setup. Still building up my kit. I used to dread shaving with the packaged blades/creams. Now completely the opposite. Certainly is an artform.

Welcome to SOTD. The 23C was my first DE. Take your time finding what you like; it's all part of the adventure.

This razors inspired on 1904 Gillette first DE razor is like the poor man of the serie, being the Paradigm sold out the rich man. This one is a first class razor if you can match it with the good blade for you. I have used it four times and this was the best shave. Lovely 3 inches long razor.
Have a nice day, gentlemen.

I love a two bowl photo, especially one shot from a high angle. Well done.

Excellent photos, posts, and comments, gentlemen. A hearty thank you for your contributions. All were graciously appreciated.

Didn't have time to get all my comments in tonight so I'll continue sometime after I get back from a luncheon engagement on Thursday.

Be seeing you.
