DECEMBER Tabula Gratulatoria

Thanks, celestino.

* Ravi, great pic of that lovely brush. How are you enjoying it?

Thank you, Celestino!

I'm enjoying the P8 brush immensely ... the Best badger knot provides decent scrub without scritch, and the medium density of the knot allows for effortless flow-through. As much as I like my 2-band M&Fs, this brush is a nice change of pace for me ...

* Doug, fantastic shot! I am surprised you don't have a Weber PH.

Thanks for the compliment. As far as the Weber head, I'm surprised I don't have one -- I've got no stainless heads at all. I was lucky enough to try a DLC head once when a generous member let me test one for a week -- gentle and mild. But I'm currently quite satisfied with my Merkur heads.

Loved your Christmas pics, Celestino. Great pics all around from everyone this week!

 

[celestino]

Although I enjoy trying out many different soaps, Mystic Water and Mike's are my go to soaps. Sandalwood Rose, Mysore Sandalwood, and Sardinian Honey are my favorite scents, but today's Orange Spice Tea was very nice. The shave with the Jet was much smoother this morning using Mystic Water.

* Richard, you have great taste in soaps, my friend!

Thank you, Celestino.

Nice 'Darth Vader' look to your SOTD today ...

 

[hitemfrank]

Thanks Celestino.

Loveley picture from you today. That black dish looks great - is it just a prop or are you keeping the Mystic Water soap in it?

 

[Foyle]

Thanks Celestino.

* Keith, I guess the proper answer should be, yes, I am keeping my Mystic Water soaps in there. However, since I use shave-sticks almost exclusively, I use it to enhances my pics.

* Soren, excellent set-up and I like the new avatar pic!

Thank you.

Yeah, the avatar
We have a phrase in Danish that translated sounds something like: "We only have the fun we make ourselves." - and it is one thing to laugh at or with others, but if one can't have a laugh at own expense it is not looking good.
I try to have as much fun as possible without being completely silly. I don't always succeed, but at least I try

Nice 'Darth Vader' look to your SOTD today ...

[celestino]

Well, Soren, you look great! Also, thank you for your kind words, but you have a different Darth Vader than we do.

* Keith, lovely! Is that the new straight?

Thanks Celestino. It is indeed a new straight razor. A full $6 of Chinese steel and I complain about the scales

Nice picture from you as usual. I now see that my suspicion that the black jar was the C&S black anodised jar. They look awesome - how was the soap?
