I have truly enjoyed this week of landscapes, shores, sunsets, balconys, windows, gardens, ponds, pools,..........Thanks for put the shaving stuff out of the toilet these days. I feel happy and proud of posting my shaves among yours gentlemen

Dearest José,
If I may speak on behalf of everyone here (and I hope I don't put my big foot in my big mouth ), allow me to express our gratitude to you, Glen and Max for making this happen. After all, they were your photos that inspired the genesis of this theme. We are the ones who feel fortunate in sharing this thread with you and as such, it should be us thanking you, as well as the moderators Glen and Max.

So, as the famous gladiators of Rome used to say (slightly modified):

We who are about to shave, salute you .

Bravo to everyone who posted..though I must say..Thanx to everyone's creativity in these pics and descriptions!..Sadly I have not much to show..due to living in Los Angeles..nothing but streets, cars smog n people in a rush to get to work (it's true, no one slows down..even in the rain and their cars)

A few of us here did a fine job, and we live in LA.

My apologies for my comments..I meant where I live isn't much..to clarify

Shave Soap: C&E Sandalwood
Shave Cream: C&E Sandalwood
Brush: shavemac Best Badger
Razor: DOVO Bismarck 5/8" spike point
Cologne: C&E Sandalwood
Results: IT'S GREAT TO BE AN AUBURN TIGER! WAR EAGLE!

What Auburn, Alabama lacks in natural beauty (can't compete with Glen's Idaho) we make up for with team spirit. When football season starts, this sleepy little village on the Alabama plains is transformed into tailgate central. You've never seen anything like it. The university prohibits fans from arriving prior to Thursday to stake their claim to their tailgating spot.

Great post, and pictures, LinacMan. It's great to have more people here from Alabama.

By the way, ROLL TIDE!!!

Prep

A nice hot shower, a good face washing and a hot towel before shaving and between passes.

Razor - Ladwigs American (Milwaukee Barber Supply)
Brush - Tweezerman
Soap - SRD Lime

Post

Cold water rinse, a rub with the alum, more cold water, a towel from the freezer and some witch hazel from the fridge, I let my face settle and padded it with another hot towel, massaged in some skin food, splashed on some sandalwood aftershave splash and some dirty English EDT to finish me up. Oh then I grabbed a cold one, and a cheese pizza and sat watching a movie.

This shave took me about an hour. It felt great, and was luxurious, and best of all not for any special occasion or for going out, but just because I wanted to chill out relax myself and watch a bad movie whilst mellowed out, and tat was the most awesome feeling

Geek

Sunset/rise photos are not easy to do with a foreground. Was the sun setting or rising? I have been photographing sun sets and sun rises for about 25 years. Your photo is very nice but would need a different lens to get the focal point you were looking for.

Great shot, thanks for posting it!!

Since th thread is closed, here are a couple:

Bandman, thanks for the first sentiments. As for the last statement I formally retract my "thanks for this useful post". Just kidding. Any Alabama fan that would come to Auburn for the day is OK in my book

Robert,

That may be a bad idea. Bandman and I may get tossed from the forum for inappropriate online rivalry
