Thread: Sun November 14th - Sat November 21th

Well it's been a few months removed fellas. I have been shaving this whole time but have not been giving it the time and attention I need to. I moved across country at the end of July from Maine to California and life has been crazy but I am now forcing myself to slow down and take my time to enjoy some of the simpler pleasures in my life. Just recently purchased a Nikon D500 as well so I intend to back and about here regularly... So my first shave back...

Location: Oakland California
Razor: Otto Hans Deutsch 5/8
Brush: Newly Aquired Simpson Polo 10- 2 Band... WOW
-Quoted from my good friend Max: "This brush feels like 100 hot babes licking and kissing your face!"... and I definitely conquer.
Cream: "The Bomb" Vetiver
- What a great cream, I did not even feel the need to use a ASB today. Great lather, super moisturizing, and the Vetiver scent is amazing. First time using it and it reminds me of late fall back home in Maine in the woods. Very calming.
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
EDT: B&R Black Walnut

Result: BBS of course

I would carry it everywhere and pretend to be taking the most important pictures for the paper. It represents my fond memories of my Grandpa and the start of a life long love of taking pictures.

Have a great Sunday gentlemen, you deserve it!

Great composition. I too have enjoyed photography since I was a child but I am not that good at it.

+1 from me the photos and the gear are a cut above. I love Sunday evenings browsing the SOTD. And its great to see new people posting their gear. Welcome
