The beginning of the week continued the high quality of excellent at SOTD. Photographs and text posts were quite rewarding.

Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time to grace these pages. Each contribution is greatly appreciated.


@skypsyd - A deeply rich b&w, Dave. Nice display.
@alfredus - Great close up. Love the backing petals.
@shm - Quite a bloom on your brush, Søren!
@ClaudioBP - Fine looking portrait. Like your razor stance.
@Cash_Stronomer - Neat leaning Fatip. One of the new items? There's a lot of texture in that setting.
@Clint64 - Top-tier shave for sure! Like your commentary.
@UngerWoo - Excellent grouping.
@cmh737 - Love your POV, Chris. Nice scales.
@Dagwoodz - Castle Forbes really whips a mean lather, Josh. That long handle on the prush probably helped.
@eezee - Got to love a photo that has AdP and Lucky Tiger....
@Doug57 - Sumptuous pic, Doug. Lovely scales. Great soap jar.
@Bobcat - Very nice arrayment, Bob.
@lindyhop66 - Superb close up. Love the swaths of color created by the containers.
@evnpar - Quality high angle view. High-class shave. Beautiful blade.
@Jnatcat - The Durham Duplex is one scary looking razor, Will. How was its performance?
@cruise_bone - Interesting overhead shot.
@witeq - Smart looking photo, Witek. A good Proraso shave I would think.
@blzrfn - Now that's one exceptional array, Dave!
@sarimento1 - Beautiful composition, Murray.
@jmudrick - Skillful b&w composition. Like the cropping.
@doc47 - Wonderful presentation, Dan. The brush is lovely.
@azwetshaver - An attractive layout, Gabe. Love your setting.
@Pexu - Excellent grouping shot. Colot tones are perfect. Great choice of backing image.
@JRRIII - Majestic photo. Beautiful Diplomat. Can't fault the change in brush.
@Loei - That seems to be a weightier handle for the Fatip. Did it change the performance?
@blexa - Spot on lighting. Like the reflections. Very interesting background.
@JBO667 - A well-ordered den, Jerad. Love the way you soak the brush.
@samlark - Neat razor stand for the Hawk, Sammy.
@Thalasos - Fine high angle shot. The Seygus is a beauty.
@PACO GALAN - Nice capture of an enviable shave.
@ikasimov - Welcome to SOTD. Excellent picture; excellent shave gear.
@ram57 - Monday: Frosty shave. Great overlay. Tuesday: Love that smoke!
@Antique Hoosier - Quite an elegant photo.
@xxlpack - Wnderful close up. Such an interesting frame.
@nikonNUT - Ah, another dirty shave... I really should try that combo.
@Hanover - Mighty fine looking shave, Mark. Love the razor stance.
@Smooth Steve - I like your staggard arrangement, Steve. For an inexpensive soap Amici is a killer.
@ciderguy - Nice layout, Nick. Cool filter. Love the Florida Water. Thamks for the info on the vintage blade.
@Moustache - Excellent horizontal. Nice antique feel to this image. Great brush! And that razor....
@DabblinRazors - Like the layout, Eddie. I'd have never thought of mixing Cryogen with Amici.
@skypsyd - This photo almost shimmers, Dave. The ultra sharpness make it seem as if one could lift the razor from the picture....
@Danjam - Looks like a totally winning shave to me.


It's late for me, gents, so I'll say a quick good night. Be seeing you.

@Loei - That seems to be a weightier handle for the Fatip. Did it change the performance?

The heavier handle makes the razor much more comfortable.
The weight makes sure there is enough pressure without applying any yourself.

If you have this head, try it with a heavy handle.

December 6, 2016
Mongoose B2 with Triad Ti
Feather Super Pro (6)
WDC-8 with Druida Manchurian
Nuavia Rossa
Witch Hazel


​

The WDC/Druida whipped up the Nuavia Rossa into a rich lather very easily. The knot has the great backbone and scrub with very good flow through. I stayed with my 2 pass routine, XTG & ATG, followed by touch ups in my trouble spots. I was so close that I decided to chase the baby and get that one spot on my neck. I caught the little guy finishing with a BBS. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

@Hanover - Mighty fine looking shave, Mark. Love the razor stance.

Thanks Ron , Have a great day

 

[Jnatcat]

@Jnatcat - The Durham Duplex is one scary looking razor, Will. How was its performance?

Ron, It shaves like a shavette and is a tad awkward to use, the blades are special so it's not like you can just toss in a DE blade, the shave was a tad tuggy so I put in a fresh blade to see how the next one goes.

 

[alfredus]

Thank you for your great pictures gentlemen and your kind words Ron & Dave - I hope you all have a great Tuesday

 

[cmh737]

@cmh737 - Love your POV, Chris. Nice scales.

Thanks, Ron!

 

[Cash_Stronomer]

Thanks Ron! I don't know how new they are, but so far so good! Bite of a Red Tip, smoothness of a Tech!
