Luis, you have the knack for making the simplest of things look so impressive. This is an amazing pic, my friend!
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson Chubby 1
Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK32
Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan
Soap: Institut Karite
After shave: TOBS Mr.Taylors
Results: First try with the Institut Karite, could have been better, could have been worse. I think the problem was that I didn't get to load the brush enough cause I had to chase the puck around the bowl. Still it wasn't too bad, just a little thin and I got a nice and quite comfortable shave.
Slippery things, soaps, Rune!!!
My eyes bulge everytime I see that Helje of yours. It's such a fine example that could easily pass as being made yesterday, looking at the condition of it!
A truly wonderful way to start the week! All superb shots, Gentlemen!
Superb shot!
Thank you, David. I had fun with this one.

Semogue SOC 2Band | EJ BChrome w/ Red IP (UK) | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba | Mitchell's Wool Fat | Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
Yesterday I received my SOC 2Band which replaced my Semogue 11' LE FBadger I sold on BST. Also may I say there is quite a difference between the two. I prefer the SOC 2Band b/c of the flow-thru and higher loft. Also the scritchness is there but a lot more toned down! It almost resembles my Shavemac D-01 3Band but with a more ample amount of scrubbiness than scritch. 2Band colors are quite pretty. I would liked more white tips but its alright. Anyways, today was shave was really nice with MWF's and I love the stuff. For the price of it, it really cannot be beat even though I have slowly become an ARKO fan. Well Gentleman, you all have a great day. Happy Shaving!
P.S. - After I sold my Semogue 2011 LE FBadger I replaced it with this SOC 2Band as I mentioned before. Also added another little monster to my collection which I can't wait to try out tomorrow. Can you make a guess what it is ? Not many around here on this forum use it, but someone who taught us how to lather soft Italian soaps did?
The sun's still shining I see, Balaji! Nice work with the pic!
Unfortunately, my scuttle is not to be. It arrived in the UK 3 weeks ago, and those very nice people in Customs(Grrr!) thought it nice to charge me extra. Then to add further insult, Royal Mail thought they'd cash in on the act too! It meant a further charge totally out of proportion to the original cost. I could easily have paid it but thought better of it. They can return to sender for all I care. I'm not giving either of them the pleasure. I am a face latherer anyway, just thought a scuttle would be nice to try and experience. I'm not that desperate though!!!
You have excelled yourself with this pic, Bela!
Thank you David!
This is Bank of the Danube, I live here, not far from here.
Cheers,
Béla
The sun's still shining I see, Balaji! Nice work with the pic!
David, I'm sorry to hear that my friend! But you know what its really an item which is not necessary for what we like doing and that is shaving. Honestly i sometimes lather in other bowls that I preheat in the sink with hot water during my shower and it serves the same purpose. So its better you saved the money b/c those added funds can go towards other shaving soaps, creams or even your favorite DRH Arlington set. Also its a shame when you already paid for shipping included when buying an item and the royal mail asks for more money. Thank you for the compliments on the photo. But since you can't try the DB Scuttle, your honestly not really missing out anything b/c you can replicate it with some other items, plus face lathering is actually better!
And are you roaming on your hols too, Soren? Thanks for taking the time to continue posting here in your valuable time away, my friend. And two wonderful pics they are too!
I have been somewhat desperate, as the (previous) phone company at which I had my mobile internet comnnection in their great wisdom had chosen to cancel my phone number without notifying me
So I have spent a couple of days trying to get another connection with another company and finally succeeded yesterday, so my nerves are more calm now, after I once again can get my web-fix
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to take an outside photo yet, but hope I can manage one or two during this week.
I have only had time to a quick glanse, but I have seen some really beautiful ones already this week
We are still missing an April Tabula Gratulatoria, any ideas when that will be up?
Just amazing, Bill !!Sometimes you go to the outdoors, sometimes you bring the outdoors in...
It really reminds me of an old photo, thanks for sharing!
This pic has impressed Germany, Luis
Very nice idea, Balaji!
Nevertheless, it has become a beautiful, expressive still life - Thanks for your trouble
Lovely pic!
David - where are you? In Florida?
That looks as if this would be a black&white Easter for you, Søren - still too cold for outdoor shootings in Denmark?
I am for a long time a big fan of your nice, very well composed and always varied pictures, Miguel
A totally exquisite pic, my friend...sooooperb!!!!
Thanks to David on behalf of all who like my pictures and have posted here. It is my honor and pleasure!
