SOTD Tabula Gratulatoria - May 2011

**professorchaos** · 05-22-2011, 02:30 PM

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.

La Toja Manantiales

Perma-Sharp (4)
Thayers Witch Hazel Cucumber
Emulsión Myrsol

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!

This is a truly FANTASTIC idea!

Thank you kindly, Maestro!

**azmark** · 05-22-2011, 09:45 PM

There is a powerhouse of talented photography here and what a great place to commend them.

**DeusExNoctis** · 05-22-2011, 09:50 PM

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.

Hell of a shot Marco. Robert, I think Marco rigged it to his advantage

Only joking, my friend!

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!
