the nod for today's shave will probably go the 1953 President, armed with a Personna Israeli Red blade. Soap? Hm? Martin de Candre original scent is a possibility to be lathered with the TGN-knotted Rubberset 400. If so, then Myrsol Tonico Formula C. will probably seal the deal.

It was great to see this Paul Strand image in person last week at the Phildelphia Museum of Art. Along with several of his cameras, including these two, his motion picture rig and his portrait kit, respectively.

WOW! That is all! :thumbup1:
 
Thank you Dave & Celestino! I've had the same idea to get out around the area lately, but there's just too much ice to chip away! Excellent shot!
