Par excellence ... Saturday's contributions of photos and words were exceptional and delightful.

Thanks one and all, gentlemen. You have my utmost appreciation.

@ClaudioBP - Playful arrangement. Fun picture.
@Tenergy - Fine elements photo, Valeri. Do like that backdrop.
@Sir_Eider - Love the framing on this pic.
@Jnatcat - Different style of overhead shot, Will. The inclusion of the towel was spot on.
@Dagwoodz - Like the stance of your straight, Josh.
@dudesweet157 - Neat picture, David. That brush has SOME backbone. Great combo razor.
@Rusty Blade - Another fine set up. Like those scales.
@Cash_Stronomer - Oh, vintage time in the leaves. Great little composition. Was the Ivory Soap usable?.
@mcdig - Very colorful shot, Martk. Fabulous setting. Beauties: razor, brush and bowl.
@Bobcat - That blade seems phenominal, Bob. Hope you have more than one tuck.
@Doug57 - Great picture, Doug. Love that lineup in waiting.
@lindyhop66 - Excellent shot.
@nikonNUT - How was the Kai in the Aristocrat? Liking the Hallows?
@blzrfn - Exceptional lighting for this shot.
@Rxdude - Nice perspective picture. Great lather. How is the ATT SE1 shaving?
@Smooth Steve - Like your element placement. Nice scuttle of suds, one might say. The Grackle is sharp looking.
@TheKushFather - Fine angle for the photo.
@Sdm84 - Pretty good 20 second throw together shot, Owen. Sometimes quicky shaves are rewarding, especially if the elements are good.
@Hanover - Love that lighting, Mark.
@doc47 - A fine capture as always, Dan.
@mdevine - Handsome array, Mike. The back/foreground complement the elements nicely.
@skypsyd - Richly displayed, Dave. How was the vintage shaving cream? You have some of the greatest decanters and bottles.
@azwetshaver - Beautiful overhead shot, Gabe. Love that brush.
@theos - Nicely staggered shot. Mühle and iKon - great combo!
@readyz - Lovely soft focused pic, Zalan.
@LoungeLizard - Very good closeup, Larry. This could easily be a go to shave.
@eezee - Another 2-fer and worth the wait. Both depict exceptional shaves.
@Quink - Superb close-in, JC. An adjustable is a good alternative to an OC ... and maybe as adverturous.
@CT23 - Choice angle for the shot, Chris. It gives an unusual perspective to the shot. Love the wood and the greenery.
@120inna55 - Quite artistic, Matt. Love the razor and blade placement. That is a spectacular pre-war tech.
@ram57 - First-rate portrait. Love the fragile frame.
@sandstone - Attractive photo, Phil. Nothing wrong with that shave at all!

Hope your evening has been well and that you are looking forward to a rewarding Sunday.

Be seeing you, gents.

Thanks Ron, it is very nice, Murray gave me this a few yrs back and it is a wonderful vintage cream, a dab will do ya, LOL and it explodes into a very nice lather. Nice soapy fragrance. I try to decant everything in glass, if I can find the originals, I look for unique stuff, LOL

thanks Ron. I really enjoy the ATT SE1 and it has become my go to shaver. I find it to be an efficient razor, not overly aggressive and it gives great results. It was my first SE and also first ATT razor, it is a piece of quality work. My only negative is I reach for a straight razor less often now.

Mastro Livi Inox, 8/8 Extra Full Hollow, Irish Point​

Yesterday I received a phone call from Mastro Livi and he told me he finished making my straight razor so I could go there and pick up it. I am glad he could make my razor within this week, despite Mastro Livi is very busy in organizing his participation to the Culter Expo in Milan - the most important knife exhibition in Italy - where he will be showing a lot of new razors and products, not to mention a special barbershop where visitors can enjoy a free shave with Mastro Livi razors and brushes as well as the newest Cella shaving products. I will be there of course as this is something I do not want to miss. The latest Mastro Livi razor I added to my collection is a super marvelous shaver. It is made of stainless steel and I wanted the blade to have an Irish point and scales made of amaranth wood as I like its purple color. The razor is a superb shaver and, thanks to the extra full hollow grinding, it gives a super close and smooth shave. I am very happy with this new straight razor Mastro Livi made for me! Simply awesome!​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: RazorGuy Shaving Soap
• Brush: Zenith 506 Extra Silvertip Badger, 26 mm knot
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Inox, 8/8 Extra Full Hollow, Irish Point
