Gentlemen,

Over the the last couple of weeks, we've tackled artisan and classic shave soaps. We complete a shave soap trifecta this week with a shave stick theme. If you have them, it's time to show us your favorite shave sticks. For me, that means Speick, Tabac, Palmolive and Arko. I'm hoping to see a few of you post photos of vintage shave sticks (I'd also like to gauge interest in doing any specific vintage themes in the coming weeks). Some around here have been known to use traditional pucks as a sort of shave stick (I find MWF works best for me this way).

Next week, which will require a bit of bravery for those in northern climates, will see an outdoor photography theme. This will be something entirely new for me, so I'm hoping a few of the more talented members here (help Celestino, Sarimento1 and razorguy) will be able to set a good example and show us how it's done.

Haha! I am not sure I will be of much use in helping with the outdoor shots, Mike! I think I'll defer that to sarimento1 as he is the professional. :blush: Nonetheless, I love the theme for next week; my favourite! :thumbup:
