Thank You Sam and Dave!

"You're really trying to encourage me to the Holy Black, no?"
@rockviper YES! It smells so good just ordered the A/S tonic! See? I'm helping!

So I scouted some places around Colonial Williamsburg taday, I'm going to try to make as many of my shots as I can having some element of CW and higher quality up to my own standards. And by standards, I mean looking like they weren't taken with a literal potato.

Here's today's submission, in the garden of Elkanah Deane, coachmaker.



BTW, I'm stoked seeing the glut of straight razor posts ITT, more than I remember.

..... But I did have LOADS of great pics to look at

[MENTION=51567]ram57[/MENTION] , THAT's a Mongoose? Wow!
[MENTION=94250]YourGunshowTix[/MENTION] , VERY VERY nice

There have been some great pics today; many of which are pic-o-da-day worthy, but in the end, it all came down to what had the most impact on me. My eyeballs are still following the lines from [MENTION=87268]mcdig[/MENTION] 's pic this morning. Plus it has a fountain pen

[MENTION=34037]rockviper[/MENTION] Thanks for the mention, I got tired of my low-qualtiy photos.

And that was quite unique with the fountain.

The head assembly is a Mongoose. I didn't like the handle that came with the head so rotate handles and today going with an Elite Razor.
