SOTD "UNITED KINGDOM THEME WEEK" May 29th - June 4th, 2017

[ronweston]

A new week has begun at SOTD, Gentlemen!!!

And we have a new theme: The United Kingdom!
​

This is the week to celebrate the products (hardware, software and fragrances) which have been so important to the Wet Shaving Community. Names such as Edwin Jagger, DR Harris, Simpson, Taylor of Old Bond Street, Penhaligon's and many new UK artisans come readily to mind when one thinks of high quality in the wet shaving realm.​

​

So it's time to display in your SOTDs the razors, soaps, brushes, and fragrances which many of us hold in such high esteem.


And please remember, this theme week is just a suggestion. We always welcome your photos and posts using any products you desire. Color, B&W, sepia or a photograph with any type of artistic touch you wish is always appreciated.
​

And remember: Be Adventuresome!​

The next Radio Show will concentrate on SOTD and The Darkroom. Dave (@skypsyd) informs me that many of your SOTD photos will be featured. The next Radio Show is scheduled for today. Keep an eye on the Video Library (B&B Video Library) and when it's posted give a listen. I'm sure it will be enjoyable and informative.

Really like that brush Ron

Thank you, Guy. It's an excellent brush but the rusticated portion really seems to collect soap residue. It's almost as if the wooden handle didn't get a final protective coating.
