Thanks Robert!

#2201 = 2-band Superior

#2211 = Finest Silvertip

Thanks Bill,
I already got my 2211 and like it . Not as much as my Shavemacs or Thäter, but good enough.

Been loving Glenn's pics of his guitar shots lately so wanted to do one of mine.

Matt,
You show off . First with the DD and then with the Guitar...They say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" . Great shot . Love it

Haha thanks Robert, u know Ive got a couple guitars I can loan u if u want to use one in your pic


BTW how do u like the New forest brush, are the tips pretty soft compared to the Thaters, and how is the backbone, been thinking on popping on one

Also Im glad to see Ur in the Vintage Guerlain family, Habit Rouge is pretty awesome stuff isnt it.

Thanks Matt...but, I think using an instrument in an SOTD presumes that one knows how to use it...and in the case of the guitar, I can barely make out one end from the other

NF brushes are great...not in the same league of the Shavemacs or Thaters, but good nonetheless. The tips of the Shavemac/Thaters are much much nicer and softer, IMO. But, for the money, you can't beat the NF. Great brush for a great price = great value.

HR is very very nice. I can still smell the vintage smell from the box it came in

Proraso green Balm

Well after my first shave with the wacker, I thought I would take it back to the stone for a little refinement...The shave this morning was pretty decent but not as good as the first one. I blame it partly on the fact that the gf was in a hurry to leave this morning so I did not get a chance to give the razor a proper stropping session.
