That was my avatar photo for over a year.

 

Terrific photo, Doug! I said the same thing in the SOTD thread, so sorry for the duplication. Love the waterfall in the background.

 

Simply gorgeous Amigo.

 

Ah, nice
See that the snow is going away.
Nice picture.

Thank you Perry.

 

Great shave and picture. The Ming Shi is a great shaver. I enjoy mine.

 

Thank you. It is a good shaver.

 

Beautiful picture, Doug!

 

Thank you Jim.

 

That appears to be the new "shave rave" around here.

Treet Platinum (2)
Semogue OC Cherrywood Boar
Castle Forbes Lime SC
Gentleman Jon Alum

New SC! Loving the Castle Forbes...scent is very nice. It lathers incredibly easy with the Semogue boar...feels like Barbasol cushion within 10-15 seconds of starting to load the brush. Will be looking at more of their offerings soon.

The Dart once again gave a 2 pass DFS today. Just a little extra buffing the neck. Blade exposure still requires landing placement thought and control....it's gotta be soft and slightly moving or there's trouble. Nothing the GJ alum couldn't handle though.

That Zenith Olive Wood boar....I just may have to be a copy cat, Clint. Love many of the Olive wood handles...and Zenith uses the same boar knot (it appears) as Semogue. I was eyeing that one when I bought the Zenith copper handle boar.

Posting and lurking the 30DC thread is quite a fun part of my day now....especially enjoy the scenery!

Have a great rest of the day gentlemen!

 

All of the cool kids have one!

 

That Dart is a sharp looking razor! The 30dc is a fun filled event for sure.

 

Good picture and write up.

 

Wow, that's really bad and honestly unacceptable especially for the price they are charging. I'm going to take a closer look at my tub tonight but I don't remember it looking anything like that

 

Great shave and photo Blair. I like the Olive Wood Zenith boar brush. Zenith boars really are nearly ready to use out of the box without an extensive break in period.
