Spectacular photographs and precisely composed shave descriptions were on display at SOTD for a stupendous Saturday.

Thank you, gentlemen, for all of your contributions. Each was great

@EzraCobb - Nice travel kit, Jamie. Like that vibrant vertical shot.
@Smooth Steve - Dandy photo, Steve. Close focus on the razor with gradual blurring is well done.
@cmh737 - Quite a pose, Chris. That rich blue provides an exceptional backdrop for your setup. The brush is stunning. How is the Rx trial going?
@CT23 - Fabulous photo, Chris. A Day in the Sun for an awesome trio. That is a great rock pedestal!
@carm-gs - Lovely overhead POV. Like the interior of your bowl.
@Corto - Wonderful high angle perspective, Daniel. The b&w is a great choice for the pic.
@troy71mo - Superb presentation beautifully arrayed, Troy. Too bad the cream wasn't better.
@ram57 - Another marvelous photo with lavish coloration.
@sandstone - Bravo, Phil: Brush as Ballerina! What a gorgeous layout.
@nikonNUT - I imagine this was quite a pleasurable shave for you.
@Noire - That blade looks evil! Neat Wolf Whiskers.


Hope Sunday is a great day for everyone. Good evening now, gents. Be seeing you.

Mastro Livi ArtInox Stainless Steel Damascus, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point

Yesterday I finally received the phone call I was waiting since a quite long time. Mastro Livi phoned me and said he had finished making my straight razor. You know what happened next: I drove straight to Mastro Livi's laboratory in order to admire and pick up the latest Mastro Livi masterpiece for my collection. This breathtaking straight razor is a Mastro Livi ArtInox Stainless Steel Damascus, that is a damascus completely made of martensitic stainless steels therefore suited for hardening and tempering, perfect for making cutting edges. Mastro Livi calls his totally artisan made stainless damascus steel "ArtInox". I love the pattern: a subtle and elegant stripe pattern changing its aspect according to the reflection of light. Scales are made of stabilized poplar in blue gray color, simply perfect for the blade. Mastro Livi rules and strikes again with this masterpiece second to none. A gorgeous and perfect shave!​
