Oct. 30th for me this time.

31st.
Love the Saito and the theme.

I'm going with Oct 11 submitted by Bob H. Love the setup and that razor is outstanding! It reminds me of just how simple a hot lather shave with a straight razor can be, without all the glamour!

Oct 10 please fellas.

Im with Rez again. Number 10 for me too. The lizard and my brush. Lol.

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.

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! :cool:

You are correct Tom. If I wanted to be a rule writer and an enforcer I would have taken the job as a Moderator when it was offered. I believe that was Max's last position.
I just try to be fair in my selection for the SOTD, involve as many guys as possible, and to make sure that everything is above board and not "off color," which it always is.
I always appreciate the effort someone puts forth to participate.

Pete <:-}

Indeed, participation is key! All members with a camera should join in.

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


ok.......VOTE!!
For a SOTD!

Okay so I went to the shave of the day (Rules) and it showed examples. But I'm still confused how this works. For example there were 5 or 6 people that posted pictures of their shave of the day with their equipment. Here's where I'm confused. How is it decided which setup makes it through on a daily basis? Is that you Pete? Not complaining, just trying to understand how all this works and why people are getting so pissy over nothing. I like voting. Doesn't matter to me what you have posted. I vote on what I like!

Pete gets the job of picking the pic of the day. If its every item you touched while shaving or just a razor. Pete donates his time EVERY day! I personally dont have the time or effort to try and set up a great picture but i thank the guys that do. I toss it on the sink and "snap". Thanks Pete.

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
