Magnificent shot, Luis!
LOL! Thank you very much David! I hope this motivates you to try it out b/c it was simple to do. If i can do such a thing, anyone else can too. Feels great to be back my friend, things have been very overwhelming and not in favor for me. But its part of life and only resolution is to be positive which I am great at! Willing to try? B/c It'll be the first boar shaving brush with the biggest knot at a massive 28mm and correct loft!
And it's good to see you back, Balaji
No!
What's worse, if it doesn't show up tomorrow, I won't get it until after June 18, when I return from Japan... 
No!
You'll just have to cancel that trip, Bill, no way about it!
Work or holiday?You'll just have to cancel that trip, Bill, no way about it!
Pure holiday. We are going to visit my in-laws. The beauty of my relationship with them is that they can't understand anything I say, and I understand next to nothing they say. As a result, we get along much better than any son-in-law is supposed to do!

That Semogue is pretty Emanuel! Is the knot same as the 830s?
Very comfortable and close shave
Very colorful my friend! Is that a bull mastiff with a Gillette Tech Head? I used to have one but sold it off b/c the blade exposure was too mild with a heavy handle. How do you like it?

This will probably be my last SOTD for the next couple of weeks because we leave tomorrow morning for Japan to visit the in-laws. I'll check in when I can, just to make sure David and the others are behaving. In the meantime, enjoy your little slice of ritualistic heaven each day!
What can say Bill, your pictures have a zen effect to it and very pretty!

How is the new line of Razorock SS? I'm afraid to pull the trigger b/c I've tried their other croaps but in the end affects my skin.
How do you like Mystic Water by Michelle? I truly love the stuff next to MNSoaps

How do you like Klar Kabinett? That was excellent for a vegetal soap, it reminded of MWF but rose scented!
Hi!
This Semogue is a vintage model. I have no idea about the type of bristles that it has.
But, to me, it has a strong resemblance with the type of hair used in the 1305/830 models, not only visually, but also the sensations it provides (softness of tips, etc.) are also very similar.
The only difference is that the 208 features a 50mm knot, instead of the 55mm knot featured by the 1305 or 830. That gives it a little more backbone than the 1305 model, for example.
It is one of my favorite boars!
Too bad it is not made any-more.
Your usual very elegant style of pic, Soren!
P.S. Your Percy Croft quote and your definition of Roaming Steward go very nicely together, don't you think??!!
Thank you - I think
I think Mr. Croft goes well with just about anything
Amen.
Besides the nice Ports, they also have some really nice and friendly ladies giving a guided tour and helping you in the shop
- and just FYI; the gentlemen were friendly too.And since I'm not a gentlemen (I don't prefer blonds), I found that the Portuguese women generally were quite nice
The Port, the women and the weather; I could definitely live in Oporto
You have a thing for frogs, Bela, obviously!
Thanks, David!
Absolutely so Balaji! This is a perfect vegetable soap with rose scented. This is my one of favorite soap!
Cheers

CHEEK!!!!!
Have a good holiday, Bill, and safe travel.P.S. You should have had that Manchurian sent to Japan!
Gentlemen, just to let you all know that the SOTD themes for June have now been posted. Please take a look here:http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/294713-June-2012-SOTD-quot-themed-weeks-quot
I had a very nice shave today. It's right up there with my favorite Razorock, King Louis. Don't know if it's better -- it's only one shave -- but so far, so good. It is probably my favorite scent from Razorock. Don Marco Or Cumba Cheech tomorrow.
