Great posts to start the day, gentlemen!

And thank you all for the kind words yesterday! As Bill (TOO) said above, I'm really waiting for some of you guys to set a lower standard so that my own amateurish photos don't look so out of place around here!

I may look into getting one at some point - they're a touch pricey by the looks of my very quick check.

They look really cool tough

...* Juan, great psychedelic colours!

Thank you Celestino.

 

[Agravic]

zumo - very nice shot with unique items!

kmain - nice shot!

shm (Soren) - your signature look never gets old!

Kamamuri - very nice! I enjoy the musical accompaniment!

Dr. Dulcamara (Juan) - WOW ... the vivid colors are truly mood-altering!

lu20vt (Luis) - elegant shot!

[Agravic]

* Ravi, great shot! Are you enjoying the Tradere?

Thanks celestino! I have both the Tradere SB and OC. They are beautifully crafted instruments and I admire them everyday. Honestly, I am being patient with them, but they just don't give me the shaving satisfaction that I get with my other razors in terms of overall performance. As I stated earlier, your photos this week have given my Cobra envy ... my AD is compelling me!

* Ravi, i apologize, my friend. That was not my intention. The Cobra is a very nice shaver and if you can try one, then i would advise you to do it. The Feather blades can be quite sharp and can irritate the skin, especially, the neck area if you are not careful.
Just something to consider. It is unfortunate that you could not have gotten on the Cobra Tour that was happening in the US a while back. Good luck with it and have a great weekend.
