I had some time this morning, so I used my AW Wadsworth. My soap this morning was Stirling orange chill and I whipped up my lather with one of my Semogue brushes. It was all topped off with a store brand old spice knock off.

I like the photo.

 

Thanks. Everyone has gotten so artsy lately with their photos. I feel like I need to do some catch up with my technique. That's okay, because I just love showing off my razors!

I guess the important part is showing what you've got and what works for you on any given day and that's what I really like about this thread. There are just so many cool razors!
