    Default SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - May 2011

    Sensing a need for a place wherein we can discuss the many excellent SOTD shots posted in the weekly thread, I have created this one to serve that purpose. Anyone can play and the only rule, I suppose, is that you shouldn't congratulate yourself. (Oh, and no complaining about too many quoted pictures.)

    To get the ball rolling, here is a sample of my favorites from this past week.

    Have a good start into the week!

    An Iberian shave! This vintage Semogue brush has a huge quantity of backbone, but the tips are becoming softer and softer.
    An excellent shave, finalized by the hydration and the mentholated freshness of the Emulsión Myrsol. This one is quickly becoming one of my favourite pre- and aftershaves!

    Yeah, okay... that very first one by Oberloser literally almost took my breath away. Brilliant shot.

    Which airport is that?

    Now I know why you were holding back on the Manantiales, Marco. This is quite simply a breathtaking photo, my friend!
    And do you agree with me that this soap knocks MdC off your top spot for vegetable soaps? It is most definitely mine.

    Again, your words humble me, as well as your photos and shaves.

    It's both a pleasure and an honour to post my pictures next to yours, and all the other wonderful photos. There are too many good photos in this board to quote them all. Thank you all, and keep posting!
