A time to detach and relax after atrying day... A much needed respite.

An excellent sentiment indeed, Carlos. And I believe you have the elements to provide that bit of relaxation quite well.

Running late today but my Le Grand Chypre landed so I hand to give it a whirl! Grabbed No.15 #3 (Does that make sense?) and had at it. As always a solid SOTD!

And a solid pic to go with that shave, Christopher. Sounds like you liked Le Grand Chypre.

Smart setup, Clint. I think I should get a Timeless towel.

Thank you Ron. I received the towel as a gift. Do pay attention to their measurements as the towel is on the small side .

Wow! This is a spectacular close up portrait, Doug. The scattered trees, rolling hills, and pillowy clouds are an excellent backdrop. Love the pedestal.

Thanks. The pedestal is just a post for the deck rail, but the view is pure Colorado.

Extremely attractive composition. Love the green reflection on the blade.

Thanks. I liked the green theme, as well.

 

[Smooth Steve]

Quite a striking directional layout, Steve. The aqua toweling gives a great foundation to your colors.

Thanks Ron. It was a nice shave this morning. I have to say the Baby Smooth is a great razor and it has quickly become a favorite. I think I will be using this for traveling as well since it is a 3 pc design and has just the right level of aggression for the road.
