Lovely, lovely Saturday, gentlemen. Exquisite photos, descriptive posts and comments. Thank you one and all.

I'll bid you a good evening now. See you soon, gents.

Neat jocular layout with the positioning of the blade (as if it were chuckling), Rafa.

It seems he wants to eat the brush [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Fine pic of a classic shave. I know what you mean; I don't use my Tabac enough!

Thanks Ron ... lots of great new soaps out there...but the oldies are goodies

Splendid close up. Your element listing is very attractive. Like the subtle diagonal line overlay.

Wow, Nima! The aqua toning and lighting makes it look as if your setup is under water. Well done.

Dandy photo of an excellent shave, Oskar. Timeless and Simpson with SMdF: that's top of the line elements any way you look at it.

Thank you my friend!

The Chubby does make a neat rest for the OneBlade, Clint. Still enjoying the OneBlade shaves?

Thank you Ron. I am enjoying the OneBlade Core. Now that I am almost fully recovered from some back issues, I hope to resume my motorcycle travels. In the past I have used a Feather Neo Cartridge razor for these trips. The Core will replace the Feather Neo in the kit.

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Weber ARC
Blade – Astra S/P
Brush - The 'Americana' (Shavemac 24/48 D01 2 Band)
Soap – Tallow+Steel: Morocco
Post - Cold water rinse / Tallow + Steel: Dark Aftershave

'The King is Dead.... Long live the King!! The 'New' Tallow+Steel soap is impeccable.. even though the lather was a little wetter than I usually have it, the protection was second to none, and as for being slick, well, I had to double grip my razor a couple of times, and almost had the brush slip out of my hand once or twice... Post shave leaves a wonderfully soft face feel, and the only reason I used the aftershave splash, is because I could... Now, if you've ever been to Africa, North or South, you will be familiar with the smell of smoke in the air, and the scent of Morocco is everything you could wish for, to invoke those memories.. Totally sublime in all departments.

Mastro Livi Grifetto 60: Shaving Like a King!​

Today this Mastro Livi Grifetto 60 gave me a king's shave. Grifetto will never fail to amaze me, both for the pleasure of using it and for the magnificence of its super smooth shave. I have to admit, the pleasure of this shave was also thanks to the P.160 Professional soap, in my opinion the very best shave soap of all times, no soap in the world can beat it. Super performance in lathering - rich, creamy, luxurious, moisturizing and velvety - it seems like it was conceived for straight razor shaving. It is not by chance, in fact, this incredible shave soap was conceived in the 1970s and destined to professional barbers who, at those times, were using straight razors. It is a pity - way too bad - they discontinued making this fabulous soap. Not to mention the excellence I got with the unparalleled performance of Floïd aftershave and the Mastro Livi Eco-Silvertip brush. A truly king's shave!​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Nuova Elberel P.160 Professional
• Brush: Mastro Livi Perugia Eco-Silvertip, Bois De Rose, 26mm Knot
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point, Camel Bone
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Floïd The Genuine
