Hahaha thanks! I've really enjoyed shaving while playing with army men and taking pictures.

Great shot
I love the extreme whiteness of the Semogue - beautiful (as any Semogue ).

Thanks! I really enjoy the black and white photography. Shave gear really looks great in the medium.

Razor: GEM Push Button
Blade: GEM PTFE
Brush: Semogue 830
Lather: Ballenclaugh Cherries in the Chamber

This Semogue is finally starting to break in. I'm still not satisfied with it but it is progress... This is my first time with this soap. It is remarkably similar to Synergy... Anyways it is not the best but usable. I think it really lacks in slickness but in cushion and ease of lather it is pretty good. The scent is ok.http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee372/freddyr439/fotor_101.jpg

I agree. This has been a great week full of some amazing photographs.

 

[SciTX]

Michael and Dave....thank you so very much....I really look forward to my weekend shaves so I can post pics in the SOTD thread of the week! I'm trying to make them better because so many of these guys are awesome photographers! I'm enjoying working with different effects, filters, and all the other stuff.

Thank you Dave, you and your new camera seem to be getting along famously now!

Roger that Juan, the daily inspiration on our SOTD here never fails to get me going, and I especially enjoy watching everybody's work get better and better as time goes by!

A very late post, but a great shave.
I used a Gem Jr. for the first time and First Canadian Shave Soap - South Simcoe Sandalwood. Two things about this shave are a great razor and a very good soap. The Omega Pro 10083 whipped up great lather, and the Gem with a Pella blade effectively removed all traces of whiskers.
