Thank you, Celestino, but you surprise me, friend. I thought my Rubberset 400 was your favorite! As for me, I covet your K-Translucent featured in your photo today-- what a sweet brush! It and your All-Amber may be my favorites in your brush collection.

There are several SOTD photos today that warrant high praise. Nice going, gents!

Thank you Celestino! I only have it for a week, but I can understand the fuss now! I enjoy the similarity to straight razors. No irritation either (which I am always worried about with trying new products). It seems you SOTD/Cobra people were right all along!

* Max, you must be one of the fortunate ones as the Cobra, or better yet, the Feather Pro blades, never worked for me!

Stuart, great pic

Sarimento, thanks!

That photo was just a test lathering of the latest brush that I have sneak past Mrs. I know she notices these things. I think she's just playing along to humor me.

Today's shave has been delayed by -- of all things -- actual work. Ugh!

I'm taking an exercise break shortly, to be followed immediately by a hot shower and a close shave. So, nothing will sit unused for long, although the brush has dried already.
