Πάντοτε Χαίρετε! Always rejoice!

Tonal quality of this photo is superb and the slight blurring on the sides is quite attractive. I do love that Semogue.

Quite an interesting photo, Alan. Love the display of your razor. The Tabac will really grown on you.

The black background is perfect, Phil. The color of your elements is almost vibrant. Love the razor rest.

Filarmonica Sub Cero
Rooney Heritage Stubby 2 Super
BAUME.BE
Flint+Flint AS

Well sometimes one stumbles on good combinations, the Rooney and BAUME.BE is creamy yellow-cloud filtered sunshine streaming across the face - a match made in shave heaven . . .

An exquisite picture of your elements delicately placed amongst the greenery and flowers. And quite the evocative description of the shave.

Jacob got it right the first time. He was a great inventor, but not a great salesman. My collection of Schick's which includes the following models, B, E, G, I, J, K, L, M, & N, give me a nice BBS everytime. The blades last 3 or 4 times longer than any DE or other SE blades I use. If the Colonel had just a portion of King's salesmanship, they could have cornered the market. Have a great day gentlemen.

Dandy pic of the Schick Grip, one of the more playful looking L-series injectors. I have one but haven't used it. As I've said before, I really should do a month of injector shaves so I can become more familiar with them. They certainly do have quite the following.

Talk about a splash of color ... your photo has it in spades, Matt. The gray, white, black and silver surround the colorful CaD quite elegantly.
