I'm guessing it's not a holiday in Canada, celestino.

* Labour Day is a holiday in the US AND Canada, my friend! i guess i have another hobby. Hee hee. You gents and your fabulous photos have challenged me to come up with interesting ideas to offer you lads as i can not edit mine and have to keep them looking respectful so that they can keep up with all of yours! i am not looking forward to winter in Vancouver as we get very, very minimal sun and that is what helps me the most.

[celestino]

* Soren, very nice photos, as usual! i love that butterscotch handle!

* Bill, nice work! i really enjoy the way you laid it out.

* Bruce, welcome to the SOTD.

Semogue 2012 TSN LE (#88) \\ Merkur 1904 w/ 7 O'Clock Blk SP \\ 3P Pre Per E Post Barba \\ Nanny's Lemony Lime w/ Goats Milk \\ Proraso Crema Liquida Dopobarba

So happy to say that I did not give up on the Nanny's Silly Soaps b/c they are now performing beautifully especially when paired with this Semogue. I guess it was my prep of lathering and not using the right technique when shaving. Or the blade was either dud or needed to be switched. Also, finally got some new favorite blades that work magnificently with my skin. I didn't want to keep using Red IPs and wanted to switch it up. These blades are amazing and had to wait for a good month and a half in order for it to arrive. It was totally worth the wait! You all have a great day Friends!

I viewed your pic earlier, Balaji, and took a quick look after at the website for Nanny's. Very reasonably priced at a little over £5. I think I may just go there and find out for myself. And a very elegant unedited pic too!

P.S. Just ordered Arabian Nights.

Thanks celestino. I'll admit it, it did come out better than I expected.
