A very good shave this morning. A mild menthol kick from the local artisan soap to the cool splash of the Proraso, it is a excellent start to the day. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

In appreciation of Celestino's many months of stew'ing SOTD here, let's celebrate with a small PIF!!

Here's an unused puck of vintage, tallowy Williams Tonsorial, one of shavedom's classic soaps!

Available to any B&B SOTD contributor (3 or more posts!) in North America (incl. Canada, eh)!

Reply if you're "IN", along with "Thanks, Celestino!"

Winner chosen at random, as of midnight, this Saturday, June 18!!

NOT in, but I would like to thank Celestino. It's my hope his departure is as steward only and that it's amicable. He's always been a true gentleman and an invaluable contributor himself, so I hope this doesn't mean his presence will be lessened.

Thank You Soren and Dave!
Figured I was due for a whole week of the Tech, it's been awhile!

Awesome PIF Murray! Not in myself, as I'm sure others need more soap more than I do
And to echo Matt above me, hopefully the Good Sir is away from stewardship and not pics!

As the Steward before Celestino and Dave, I've always felt they easily surpassed what I was able to do. (I only hoped my enthusiasm would make up for my lack of photographic skills). His leadership will be sorely missed and I hope he continues to post his amazing photos.

Great PIF but not in ... way too many soaps. I echo others in the hope Celestino returns with his beautiful compositions.
