Thanksgiving SOTD 2018

Razor: Maggard "V3A-MR18c" DE  (Shark Super Stainless)   ///   Edging & Shaping: C.S. 'Cobra Classic' SE   ///  
Brush: Shaveology 22mm Silvertip Badger  ///   Soap: Barrister & Mann ' First Snow'   ///  
AS: Barrister & Mann 'First Snow'   ///    Balm: Pacific Shaving Co. 'Caffeinated'


STORY:  Living in the Ventura County area of North Los Angeles, CA., I have recently again experienced the devastation of being engulfed by Wild Fires (2018 Woolsey Fire).  Last year it was the Thomas Fire that burned in N. Los Angeles for 2 1/2 weeks, this year is was the more devastating Woolsey Fire that burned for two weeks and literally almost destroyed the famous Los Angeles county beach city of Malibu, CA.  This year, Thanksgiving takes on a whole entirely different meaning. And even though it doesn't snow here in the Greater Los Angeles Area basin, I sure wished this year that it did... this was my reason for choosing my Thanksgiving SOTD.  Cheers to all my wet shaving brothers!  God bless you, and Happy Thanksgiving.

back to ebony...oooh that simple but eyestranglein' ebony...ok...faux for the plastics .Glad to see you bring yer non shine through couloured brushes for once.....closer to the D2 so to say....

Thank you for kind words, but if you look closely, I do display many of my other standard/non-translucent brushes in my SOTD photos. In fact, the last two photos in this thread before this one were of them.  And, of course, I'll contradict myself by offering my next photo, thus.

God bless you too, my brother.  May you have a safe, happy, abundant Thanksgiving, full of not only laughter and  joy, but also clean, fresh air, and all the other things that people like me take for granted.
