A/S is Ogallala - fantastic on sensitive skin
Brush is a golden nib in an old elk antler (works great)

That is a sweeeeeeeet Engels! Is it a PERFECTION? I really want to get my hands on one of those. I have 2 Leaders that I LOVE.

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower, Fresh Aloe
Shave cream: Fresh Aloe with AOS Lavender
Scuttle Dirty Bird
Brush: Custom Made Badger, first time in use. Very Nice.
Strop: SRD Paddle, 50 on CroX, 50 on Leather
Razor: Dovo Silver steel.
Post: Fresh Aloe, Nivea following.

Well...Thanks guys. I guess that settles it in my mind. I was "slowly" looking for a Torrey, but aside from this, I will now have to be on the lookout for a Gotta

Thank you both gentlemen.

PS: Will this RAD ever end?

Solingen Bohlerstahl
(straight from being honed by Glen!)
Coate's almond shave cream
DB Scuttle (how did I ever get by without one!)
Pure Badger Brush
Witch Hazel
Speick aftershave balm
result? Pure heaven!

Would you want it to? Then what would you do for fun? And what would Liza have to get mad about...

While showering, my Sunbeam soup cooker is heating my mug.
A few quick dips, and shakes, and my bristle brush is loaded with our own CarrieM's custom Sassafras shave cream.
The blade of the day is an unusual 1" Bengall wedge.
Royall Lyme aftershave.

p.s. I have been unable to find any references to age this razor. A little help please. Reads 'cast steel' on tang. PM

Liza is an Angel . I have never seen her get mad about RAD or SCAD or BAD (or anything else for that matter)...She epitomizes "Cool-ness". She gets a kick out of what we do (RAD and all), but not mad.

I am looking for someone else to save me from myself . We desperately need a support group for this thing

Hi Ed,
Glad to see you're using your Sunbeam ...it is great for warm lather indeed.

Don;t know much about that razor, but that is one of the most interesting blades I have seen

SOTD is one of the most frequented threads and we should do a good job when we post pictures.
Another thread would be fine. Robert, do you have an idea for a title?
In the german forum the best photographers create in this time an calendar for 2011 with pretty nice pictures.
Regards
Tom
Tell us what we'll do!
Robert, I'll give you support!

Hi Tom,
I came up with this PDF document/tutorial that outlines what steps I took in creating the "special effect" image for Today's (i.e., Thursday) SOTD. There were too many screen capture shots to justify posting and hijacking this thread...hence, the simple PDF . I hope I have not missed anything. Give it a shot and see if it works using your favorite image...you can be the guinea pig in trying this out. Let me know if something doesn't make sense or doesn't work.

Here's the attachment:

Looking at hearing your (and others') feedback
