Thread: SOTD - 'HOBBY THEME' - Sun Mar 21sth - Sat Mar 27th

Well my Hobby is cooking Indian food, so I included the book Mangoes and Curry leaves in my picture, an inspirational book for those interested in the regional variations in Indian food.

Cream T&H Lavender
Razor W&B 5/8 barbers notch
Nivea balm
Thayers Whichazel Astringent
T& H Spanish leather Cologne

The perfect storm today, an awesome BBS shave!

Prep: Hot shower and face scrub
Razor: Dovo Bismarck
Brush: Custom best badger
Soap : Kell's Amber
Astringent: Alum block
Balm: Nivea
Aftershave: Clubman BayRum
Hobby: well one of my hobbies is definitely music, and ive been a musician for 13 years, and this is one of my favorite guitars (fender Telecaster)

Out at the Range:

The shave;;;;

The razor is my full hollow Damascus that Butch Harner made for me, snuggled into some of my Abalone acrylic scales..
The soap was AlRazamatazz's Da Bomb
The scuttle is the Georgetown one I won at the 09 NC Razorcon...
The AS some Osage Rub Wooooooowheeeeee that stuff wakes ya up..
A 28mm Savemac Silvertip brush

Now as some of you know Gemstar Customs was originally my Custom Rifle Company I just kept the name and moved to Razors...

This is a Sniper rifle I put together some time ago.

.308 win
Remington action
Lilja barrel
HiTech custom muzzle brake
Timmney trigger @2lbs
Titanium pin with fast springs
H&S Precession stock, skim coat bedded.
Leopold Tac scope Mildot adjustable turrets
Before you ask that is a vibration dampener on the barrel...
and yes if you look really close you will see that the bullets are Molycoated I do them myself that way in the tumblers...

These pics were taken out in the back pasture where I have the rifle range, one of my requirements when I bought a place up here, was I had to be able to shoot right on my own property... So over the years I have put in a rifle range (those far trees are 100 yards away) a pistol range (see the close target holders), and a trap thrower (off to the right).. So, now when do you guys want to have a N Idaho meet up

I would drive from California to N. Idaho just to shave with that razor and fire that rifle.

Hobby Theme.. i'm not at my home to take pictures of:

3) my surf board (body board)..beach, sunn ..(girls..who don't like to be watched by them?!..ok ..my "Girl")..now i'm just a summer surfer in small waves..like we call it here "bathtub surfer"!
4) Soccer!!!
5) Very recent one, consequence of a "wine cellar" (gonna post a minimalistic 3D study picture i have here) that i draw few months ago in the city of Porto... Wine (..by the way..Max, monday of she goes!)
