You brought the weekend to a fine close, gentlemen. Photographs and written descriptions were of the highest order.

Thank you for each contribution. All were excellent and greatly appreciated.


@DblD - Richly toned photo. Nice looking brush.
@Smooth Steve - Attractive array, Steve. Really like the shade of the toweling.
@Jnatcat - Dandy high angle shot gives an interesting perspective on the bowl, Will. Looks like a great lather maker.
@shm - Beautiful arrangement, Søren. Excellent choices for this shave.
@ChrisVanMeer - A spectacular TOBS shave portrait. Nice brush.
@Clint64 - Another captivating shot, Clint.
@razorguy - Good close-in pic. Both the razor and the brush are quite striking.
@mcdig - How was the shave soap, Mark? What kind of fragrance does the Cotton have?
@Bobcat - Good to see the Wilkinson is still shaving smoothly.
@carm-gs - Attractive ground level photo. Nice placement.
@Corto - Like your alignment and the approach angle of the shot.
@cmh737 - Neat, Chris: a black and white picture when it's not a b&w shot. How do you like the Baume.Be a/s? I like the cream a lot.
@Tallapoc - Nice macro-esque pic. Like your extreme cropping.
@The Razor - Fine looking shave. You answered my question about the soap before I could ask.
@lindyhop66 - Lovely presentation. Splendid set up.
@Cash_Stronomer - Hope your schedule gets better soon.
@troy71mo - Comely overhead shot, Troy. I've been keeping my Futur on a "3" for recent shaves; I'm happy with the Future at that setting. My first few shaves with the Futur were not good.
@Doug57 - Excellent close up pic, Doug. How is the Azzaro aftershave?
@skypsyd - Masterful arrayment, Dave. Love the towering Bigelow box.
@Arymo95 - Welcome to SOTD, Andy. Good looking pic. Did you like Leviathan?
@Nicholas - That a BIG jar of Dapper Dragon. Hope Bakewell is a good soap.
@eezee - Two mighty enticing shaves, Erich. I'd be happy with either.
@120inna55 - Wonderful photo, Matt. Quite the tantalizing pic. Great razor and brush; top quality Van Yulay ... difficult to ask for more. Your comments leave no doubt.
@theos - Fine array. Love the lavender tint to the pic.
@sarimento1 - Another magnificent presentation, Murray. The T&H are standouts. Love the background painting.
@EzraCobb - The warm tinting of the picture makes it a winner, Jamie. Like your lather stages pic.
@PACO GALAN - Quite a dramatic splay on your razor.
@Dagwoodz - Eye catching pic, Josh, especially the Fatboy. You mixed the creams? Must have been an interesting fragrance.
@Jcan88 - Accomplished high angle shot, Jeff. That is one fetching brush.
@Zipp - A touch of elegance. Hope the soap and a/s were top notch.
@CT23 - Oh your milieu, Chris. Exquisite. That is a great piece of rock. And the angle of the light....
@mdwolfie86 - Nice close grouping, Marty. Like the low angle shot.
@nikonNUT - Smart looking setup. The sandalwood smoke has got to be good!


I hope your weekend went well and everyone is looking forward to the upcoming week. At the very least I expect we will see some great shaves.

I'll say good night now. Be seeing you....

Unfortunately, this is the worst soap in my collection. When I received it, I thought it would be top notch. It comes in a nice porcelain bowl, and this one is seated in a white leather (faux) box with a black silk liner and gold logo etc. It looks sophisticated. Smells good too. A cologne like scent. The lather has a good slickness. The only problem:... it's invisible. The lather disappears in a few seconds. Compared with this one, Crabtree and Evelyn is an excellent performer.

Thanks [MENTION=4907]Ron[/MENTION] for the kind comments. Wish each and everyone of you gents a fine week, and the most excellent shaves possible. Can't wait to see what you guys will post! Already up for a good start... hehe

Thanks Ron. I like the Azzaro, but I like the Azzaro EdT scent. I think the scent is exactly like the EdT and it sticks around most of the day. There are no ingredients listed on the bottle or box, but there has got to be something in it that moisturizes. Nice face feel.

Thanks, Ron! You've got a keen eye, that was indeed a "color" photo. And I like the Baume.be a/s balm quite a bit. I've been thinking of getting the Baume soap to make a super-lather with the cream.....BTW, how'd the C&E work for you?
