I haven't been on SOTD for a while, but I wanted to show off my new bowl from Captain's Choice. The razor is a Schick E-3 and the brush is a Strongest with a Whipped Dog knot. The bowl is wonderful, I really think the lather was better than usual. The ridges made the difference, I think. The E-3 with a Chick blade is not bad, less aggressive than the E-2, but not as mild as the G series for example. A really nice DFS shave.

In other news ,
we have a new Steward here in the Shave of The Day!

Continuing the tradition of SOTD being home to the best of the best,

Please roll out the red carpet
for our very own @ronweston . :a50:


I'm sure you all know Ron from his presence here and the great shots he posts on a regular basis. He will also be looking after THE SCORE forum a well, so be sure to post all your newly acquired goodies over there for everyone to droll over. :thumbup1:


The few weeks I have been here with you as your Stew (and pseudo-Stew once I became a Mod) have been a blast. I hope that you've enjoyed my silly comments at least half as much as I have in making them. We have some REALLY talented folks posting here, and I'm not just talking about my own shots :tongue_sm

Thanks for the introduction Sam. I hope to live up to the high standards of the previous Stewards. I also hope you continue to post your SOTDs; I'd miss not seeing your weapon of choice each day.

Ron
 
Thanks Sam, No it is a full hollow ground.

Also thanks for being the Stew for the SOTD, you comments really livened the place. Good Luck with your Mod Duties!!

@shm , you have secret access to magazine photoshoots, don't you?

But of course, and I'm also covered in super models all day long :001_tongu - well, I can at least dream, so far that is still tax-free here in Denmark.

But actually it is only four sheets of cardboard and a working light on my dinner table, very far from a magazine photoshoot :001_smile

I have a big camera, lights and backgrounds, Lightroom, Photoshop, all that good stuff.
But I'm too lazy to drag it all out....
However, like a lot of things, it's not the size, but how you use it.

All my razor shots have been done with a Galaxy S5 and on-board software.

I really appreciated all of your comments I looked forward to reading them every day! Thanks for being such a great steward and I'm really glad I started participating in SOTD although it has really stoked my AD as I drool over the hardware and software in those beautiful pictures.
