Balaji, here in the SOTD forum I created a sticky thread called SOTD Collectors Thread where you can post your favourite shots. This one definitely deserves a spot there! Also, feel free to add all the pics you particularly like!
(Sorry about that, Søren...)

Buddel | Rover in Manchurian Badger | DRH Arlington | Lucido | Xerjoff Richwood
What a shave! Despite the jet lag after my flight back from Japan yesterday, I finally stripped off my full week's worth of beard growth. It only took two passes to a wonderfully comfortable BBS! And I did it while debuting a few new products. First was the new Simpson Rover in Manchurian Badger:
After the first shave, I'm not 100% ready to say it was worth every penny, but it's a phenomenal little brush. It whipped up mounds of lather with the Arlington. The other new product was the Mandom Lucido after shave. I'd seen a few guys using it here on the forum in the past, and a forum member highly recommended it when we met up in Tokyo on Monday. He did not steer me wrong. It's got no fragrance, but the menthol and moisturizing properties are spot on!
Well, gentlemen, it's good to be home. Now if I could just get over this jet lag, all would be right!
Good Morning & TGIFriday !

Semogue 2011 LE FBristle 2 (#88) \\ Merkur Progress w/ Red IP \\ 3P Pre Barba \\ Mitchell's Wool Fat \\ 3P Post Barba
No need for explanation using my all time favorite shaving soap MWF! Today's shave was quite excellent and actually used the 2 in 1 product 3P as my Pre & Post shave. It work excellent as a post shave and just love the stuff. To my nose it smells like Vick's lol, but it doesn't linger where it would be the dominant smell when you use a cologne. I can see why it is quite a favorite in Italian Households. Friends, you all have an excellent day/weekend!
Balaji, you just keep demonstrating how talented you are with a camera This is a phenomenal pic, my friend!

Very nicely taken David! I see you used a Semogue 2000 with MdC, how was the lather for your shave today? As you mentioned earlier to Marco preference to using Badger is quite true for this soap. Just talking about it makes me want to use my Shavemac D-01 3Band or SOC 2Band with MdC for tomorrow's shave lol!

Hope you had an enjoyable time, Bill(in silence with the inlaws!), and so glad to have you back here. I see you FINALLY got to use the Manchurian. It takes a little getting used to, this grade of hair. Not much splay yet still incredibly soft. It will perform and feel even better after a couple more uses.

Thank you, David. It is good to be back (despite the jet lag). The vacation was very nice and I did FINALLY get the Manchu. I think I'm going to like it. The Rover handle is great. Now if I can just figure out how to use this new camera to take some decent SOTDs, I'll be set...
Bill loved to have you back .. with the new 5100 will be much better photos
There you go again, rubbing that beautiful shoulder-less straight in my eyes
Nice shot
TOBS Jermyn St. has one of the most beautiful scents I have tried in creams so far. Performs very good too.
And a great shot too.
The 35mm is far superior in all the objective Kit will have to get used to the fixed focal
