SOTD: 18 - 24 February 2013 - Theme: B&W

[BRuhling]

Gentlemen, I apologize for my lack of participation the past few weeks. Sadly, work has intruded into my personal life. Despite my failure to post recently, I have been enjoying some amazing shaves, and living vicariously through all of your posts. You continue to amaze!

This week, let's share some of those gorgeous black and white compositions you all do so well! I'll kick it off with my own contribution. The La Toja Manatiales is a wonderful performer and it pairs so well with my suminagashi beauty from Buddel:

Same blade I have been using for the week. I didnt feel it was giving me comfortable shaves, so I took it back to the coticule. The brush is an old one from a group buy around 2007. Should be a good shave.
