    This is black: very classy! :D
    But, as a matter of fact... I do not know if I preferred when it looked blue.

    The white on a blue background, reminded me the when, in 1964 I could admire, for the very first time the Michelangelo Pietà. In... New York.
    Pretty shamful for an Italian, isn't it?

    It was located before a blue velvet screen, much, much better than segragated, almost forgotten in St. Peter's Basilica, in Vatican City.

    I entered and only by mere chance I saw it as if it was a soft drink dispenser in a gym!
    I understand we mighr be 'used' to masterpieces spread around and Rome itself is a living museum, bur such a masterpiece abandoned there...

    Look in the right bottom corner (9): there it is!
    You enter and get lost in the magnificence of everything and...

    OK, wrote too much!

    2020-12-5, Saturday.

    It's incredible the amount of Christmas stuff in supermarkets: this year they will sell panettone, at a lower price than bread, from the 24!
    So when we'll be begging, we'll have something to eat.

    With soaps, brushes, etc. we're all set: someone will even see the bottom of the bowl appear, but... how much stuff do we have in store?

    I find that there is something perverse in piling up, every morning, brush, soap, razor, taking pictures and then using them. Or vice versa.
    But I don't think I'll stop: I've always been kind of transgressive!

    With the stuff I used... could anything have gone wrong?

    Saturday Straights' Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream
    B-400 Badger by Tom
    Gravjura 5/8
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne

    The Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Shave Cream face-lathered well with B-400 Badger by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Gravjura 5/8 razor gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    A great, great shave. The Timeless SS Slim .50 & .95 Standard are closer to each other in terms of shave feel and performance than I originally thought. Both though are superb whisker whackers and one can’t go wrong with either one if your looking for perhaps one of the best combinations of smoothness & efficiency in a higher end razor. For me, the Slim .50 ups the ante by an eyelash. The Dragonsbeard V2 shave soap & skin food splash are just a winning combo. Great day and shaves to all...    ​
