At the end of the work week there has been no slacking off at SOTD! Friday has been stellar! Beauty in pictures and words.

Thanks gentlemen for your contributions of gorgeous photographs and inspirational posts.

@skypsyd - Finely wrought photo, Dave, with a few neat purple additions....
@ronindug - Very nice soft focus picture.
@Tenergy - Quite an accomplished photo, Valeri.

@UngerWoo - I like the way you highlight various elements in your pics.
@Clint64 - Well done close-in shot.

@Jnatcat - First-rate emcompassing overhead pic of a stellar shave, Will.
@DblD - Splendid photo of a scuttle full of shave gear. Love the Frankenrazor!

Friday night haircut AKA my SOTD

2nd shave on a Dorco Prime. Loaded in my Milord this time, which honestly is a gold twin to my 1953 Super Speed IMHO. While I did not remotely enjoy the first shave with this blade, it was one of the most irritation free, BBS I've ever had! I'm hoping the experience and hop is just a first shave on my thick, coarse head!

Other than that it's Shave Secret Pre, VDH luxury soap with some menthol essential oils dropped in and Nivea sensitive post.
