Great set up for that shot .

 

Awesome news Steve! In the next few days I will using the 1912 for the first time, I also got a new Gem Junior. .. I feel confident it will be a good shave, the injector Type E took 3 shaves for no blood ..and it became one of my favorites, i am thinking stiff blades work better on my skin... the gem does seem to have a perfect design, no guees work on the angle. . thx for the review , its funny i used a type E for the first and i saw u post it was your first time, also u post your pics around the time i do, 830 till 930 pm eastern time... we seem to be matched up, haha. You are so correct. .Kids grow up way to fast, i have 4... David was a surprise a new born at 42 years old... seems like yesterday my 1st child jacqueline was born, 9.04.2001... the years are flying by, scary

 

Thanks very much Joseph. I know you want the "Heavy" tag...

 

Great setup Roby.

 

That is a beautiful picture amigo.

 

Good shot Bob. How is the blade holding up?

 

Great photo amigo. The razor and brush are meant for each other.

 

Thank you Doug.

 

Good photo Guy. Looks like the water is rising.

 

Good setup Gart.

 

Shake Sharp (Permasharp²) vs Shovelhead (Blue Star), both appropriately shimmed. Wonderful shave, both very close and comfortable, I'm again thinking the SS side is a tad smoother on the crown.

Wonderful Sunday morning shave today. I can't say enough good things about this soap, I love everything about it. The Fine AS compliments the soap; it's a brighter and fresher Vetiver scent and blends great with the marshy L&L. One pass with the Supply and one with the Chimera and I'm happy with the results. Have a great day folks!

 

Thank you for the kind words gentlemen! Have a great Sunday.

 

Beautiful photo Jim!

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy.

Mastro Livi Razor Club 2017​

Still on the road and still having the immense pleasure of testing this Mastro Livi Club Razor 2017. I have to say this is a super straight razor with a proverbial and impeccable edge, delivering a magnificent smooth and close shave. I can't wait to get my Mastro Livi Club Razor 2017 and I am sure it will make a great couple with the 2016 edition. The shave was very comfortable and smooth, also thanks to Cella shaving cream and the magic touch of Floïd Blue aftershave, one of the very best lotions both for performance and fragrance. I should say a great aftershave coupled to an incredibly beautiful masterpiece such as this Mastro Livi Club Razor 2017!​
