Martin de Candre...

MdC would be hard to displease anybody, Marco. Love it, love it, love it! Did I tell you I like it??!! Great pic, my friend

Superb close-up, Mark, with the best of both worlds!

Thanks David!

 

[hitemfrank]

Good stuff!

Thanks Mark. A nice picture from yourself too

I love these B/W shots with just a splash of colour. Well done, Keith!

Thanks David. I''m quite the fan of those type of shots too so I decided a while ago to figure out how they are done.

Also, I'll be posting a sample of that soap to you in the morning as I don't actually know if the soap maker did or not.

 

[BRuhling]

That really sounds too much like hard work, Bill! I took the car!!

You really do have some inventive shots, my friend. Fantastic!!

Your method is probably much more efficient!

Thank you for the kind words. I do try to think of new ways to highlight my shaves each morning.

In this case, the painting in the background is actually a watercolor my wife recently did in a painting class. And the statue upon which the razor rests is a fertility doll I got from a Masai Mara craftsman in Kenya...

That's way too technical for me, Keith. Got week 3 to fathom out yet!!
You never know, I may get 2 samples. Do I give you my opinion?

 

[Optometrist]

Great contrast, Henry...love that blade detail!

No, I'll let him know I sent you a sample and to expect feedback from you.

I'll send you his email info.

The Fili and MdC are a great combination, Robert! It's a heavy blade that just goes through whiskers like no other. Nice shot. We need you back!

Thanks David .

PS: I'll be back soon, another week and a half or so.

The B&W week seems an excellent source of inspiration for the B&B SOTD fans... Very well done, Gentlemen!

Indeed it does! Excellent choice of themes.

Without any doubt my #1 vegetable soap! And thanks for the nice words, my friend!

Grazie, Maestro!

A wonderful selection of goodies there, Bela, and a superb pic to show! I'm still patiently waiting to find one of those Friodurs in good condition.
