Thread: ~VOTE HERE~ October Featured Shave Of The Month

There's no question about it: 01 October 2020



And I say this because of what's written in the "SOTD Rules & Guidelines":

"We ask for the SOTD that every post consist of your shaving setup of the day. This means besides your razor or DE we like to see the remaining shaving setup like your cream or soap and shaving brush. The SOTD is a place where we share our daily shaving ritual and most of use make an effort to participate which is what makes the SOTD such a great and unique place. SOTD's that feature only a razor with no meaningful content and reposting the same picture over and over again will be deleted.. If you want to showcase your razor only you can use the 'Show and Tell', 'Razors' or 'Custom Builts and Restorations' forum."

I, for one, am quite tired of all the "arty" photographs; I want to see the whole "kit 'n kaboodle" -- show me all the components of what made this your SOTD... and this is why I don't "Like" every SOTD post -- sure, there are a lot of excellent photos... but they're not what this (sub-)forum is about. YMMV.

October 19th.

The Koraat.

The 20th for me Russell5555.

If those were the rules or criteria laid down for a SOTD photo, I'm afraid to say you would lose more than 60% of your posters including me, there's nothing wrong with improving your photography skills thinking about composition lighting, I applaud the effort of all SOTD posters, I could quite easily critique the photo you are referring to If I so wanted, for a start there's no need to include the wooden box or the signed Japanese paper in the shot, because they have nothing to do with the shave they are just props.

The 19th for me a Beautiful Shot of a stunning Razor.

31'st for me. In a world beset with a plague, you need to see a smile wherever you can find one.

I’m for the 19th as well.

Oh...The 'Mug' must have gotten dropped and broken-off



Ive been wondering. Lol.

22nd for me please

I think that rule-set might be from Max as he ran the SOTD.
Of course, he no longer runs it. Pete does.

I think rules are lax the forum over and it works. Guys police themselves and proper exchanges/.posts are expected.
Some things are irritating to someone everywhere. Just not a deal any more, I think.
Too little info on a shave is as bad as too much? Hum!

So might be that Pete could write some new rules for SOTD, but knowing him as I do, he is not here to be an enforcer.
We are really just having fun. I enjoy all the posts. Nice pictures!
