Sorry about the quality of the pic. Here goes nothing:

I continue and finish lathering my face with brush 2: HJM Badger (made in Germany)
Cream: Proraso (green)EDT: Aqua Velva Musk

Congrats on your first SOTD. I will be looking forward to seeing more from you. Alone time is awesome. Shaving is also my only alone time.

Sunday 11/28/10

Geneva Cutlery Pyramid 5/8
New Forest 2211
Mitchell's Wool Fat ss
Thayers Astringent WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Woods of Windsor Edt

I managed to give myself the best straight shave I've had in a while. I think my face likes the Geneva Cutlery steel or else I just felt confident enough to really work on the final touch up strokes. The MWF lather helped provide a great medium for the razor and the Musgo Real balm remains one of my favorites. I had to follow it with the Woods of Windsor (another of my favorites). What a great start to the day.

Sunday, 11.28.10

Aura Glow
Mitchell's Wool Fat
New Forest #2201 Superior Badger
Bowdin's Wedge 9/16ths
SRD Premium I Strop .. 30 Linen/50 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Aqua Velva Musk AS

A British inspired shave. Da' Fat led the way, whipped up by the New Forest (from England via China, but who cares?) 2-band badger. Today's choice of libation, again of British pedigree is the always warm and welcoming Harvey's Bristol Cream...

The wee Halloween punkin' has been touched by the frost, symbolizing the end of harvest and entry of a cold winter.. The little wedge blade is a test bed at the moment, and may be making routine appearances.

Great setup and great camera...I think you can push the limits of that D3000 quite a bit furrther

My recommendation:
Shoot in RAW (Not JPEG...you lose a lot of information in jpeg). You'll also note the difference in file size is dramatic
adjust all color, lighting, white balance etc in camera RAW or any other RAW handling program

You'll see your picture in a whole new way.
