Just some shave porn. I didn't even shave with this. Just got bored. The bowl is actually an ice cream bowl my daughter and I decorated at "the painted plate" in Olympia. Has a nice part on the bottom that makes a great handle.

 

[mkiraly]

nice!

Thanks Murray, your photos rock , as usual...

Senior wings, actually. Good eye, though.

 

[jKyro]

Meh. I'm looking on my phone. It's hard to tell. I'm aviation in a cav unit too.

 

[mdevine]

I don't have any fancy bowls, I just use my G12 for everything. Therefore I've been reluctant to post because it isn't technically a bowl.

But here goes!

Nick,

The themes are just a fun suggestion. We all look forward to whatever you're using day to day. By the way, I'm always looking for input regarding any themes you all would like to see. I'd love to do a few outdoor themes, but I'd be interested if I could break this down even further.

My SOTD today;

Parker 65R/ Super Iridium

SOTD Feb. 14
Made Rite 84 Best Badger
Knockout Shave Silver
NOS(?) 62 Aristocrat
Feather HS
Shulton Old Spice​

May have been (but unconfirmable) it's first shave ever.
I just bought it cased with NOS blades and not the slightest scuff on the razor. Just no paperwork or cardboard blade. Regardless, it felt good to use this 52 yo beauty.

 

[aaronw915]

Music: None - just listened to the melodic tones of my beautiful wife telling me to hurry up and quit hogging the bathroom.

This made me laugh out loud and I had to share with my wife because she likes to make comments about how long it takes me to shave now

 

[Cash_Stronomer]

Dave * Celestino * WiteQ * Michael, thank you all very kindly!

I'm horribly amazed at this blade going this far AND was still able to nick my chin like a new blade does today!
Today's shave makes the cost out to 0.2 cents per shave, it's already officially half the Personna cost, and I'm not taking it out yet.

What great feeling it would be to just go into a store and take these kind of things home!
Must feel great to be the first (possibly) to operate a fine new piece of chromed luxury.

Yes sir it does. But it's better than chrome, it's gold!

In all fairness, it's an edited picture and my eyes are ageing!
