FYI, there is another bridge, in NYC, after you go under the buildings that is called the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. The roadway was in dire need of repair. During the night, they close down all lanes except for one that leads to the Cross Bronx Expressway, the Major Deegan and the Harlem River Drive. At about 5AM, the re-open the lanes and leave the roadway.
The issue is that they create a traffic jam throughout the night that carries over into the morning rush. The only thing you can do in the future is take the lower level.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Week of August 22 "Themed" SOTD - Saturday
Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shaving Creme Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill Razor: 6/8" Dubl Duck Goldedge, Hollow, Spike Point (A Max masterpiece - Thanks Max ) Brush: 23mm Shavemac Silvertip Badger Überlather: CarrieM Dragon's Blood Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Trade Winds Shave Soap + Glycerin Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol) ASB: Truffit & Hill Trafalgar Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer Cologne: Penhaligon Racquets Picture: Today's picture is during a 2008 hike in Red Canyon, Utah (near Bryce Canyon). Weather was getting a bit unnerving as lightning storms were developing all around us with us exposed at the top of one of the mountains with this lone plant (couldn't resist the shot though). You can even see "micro bursts" in the far horizon. Result: Today, we are going to Santa Barbara wine country with some friends, so what better way to make this trip AND to end the SOTD theme week than with one of SRP's own master craftsmen masterpieces, "The DUCK that laid the golden egg"? I love this Duck. Lather; check. Prep; check. Duck; check (Hell, yeaaa). Shaving with the Duck; Ooooooohhhh, priceless and awesome . Off to Santa Barbara. See you guys later on.
Picture of the full gear in the other shot:
Have a great Saturday .

Not much more I can say about today's shave beyond WoW!! My wife's Elephant Ear makes for a nice backdrop..
In the inimitable words of Brutha' Hog... SHAVE ON!
I'm tied up at home today, so here's a few from a recent surfcasting trip to Montauk, L.I., which bills itself as the Surfcasting Capital of the World... Now, that might be a bit of a boast, and I'm sure that fans of Cape Hatteras and the islands off Nantucket might take exception, but "The Point" is a Mecca...
A friend from Colorado came out with his brother from New Jersey in search of Stripers... It was a beautiful mid_May day, and my friend did not go home disappointed... Not a monster, but a nice Bass!
The mighty Atlantic... Next stop.. Ireland!
The bluffs at the point, with Larry and Cal on the beach...
And, the money shot... Success!!
I'd like to thank all my SOTD brothers who participated for a most enjoyable week of SOTD tales and photos, and to Max and Glen for dreaming the whole idea up...
It was simply an awesome week!

Thanked: 29Gentlemen,
Beautiful pics i've seen so far; all i can say is: please, send in more.
It gives me all the more reasons to make my stuff complete (haven't come to that yet, i'm afraid ) But this thread has given me even more inspiration to do so.
Regards,
RazorBack

This picture was taken earlier in the week. I believe they call the pond The water shops. It feeds to what was once part of the Springfield Armory. Which made firearms from 1777 to 1968

Workman 5/8
Golden Nib Finest
Coates Limited Edition sc
Thayers WH astringent w/ aloe
KD Creations a/s milk
Alt Innsbruck cologne
A fantastic, if not slightly damaging (see styptic pencil in pic) shave with the scary sharp Workman (TY JoeD). The new Coates shave cream is wonderfully smooth and cushioning (not unlike the original) although it took me some work to get it right. A couple of nicks (one when I was distracted by SWMBO calling upstairs to tell me I received a package of cigars from Switzerland...ahem )...but otherwise as good a shave as I have gotten with a straight.
