Fabulous photo, Freddie. I envy the soap and EdP. That is some frankenrazor! The V3A is my favorite Maggard head.

Thank you Ron! I do enjoy the soap and Edp. I agree on the Maggard V3A. IMO it shaves just as well as any of the high-end ones on the market!

Dandy high angle POV, William. That's pretty impressive blade you have there.

Ron,

Thank you, it's the newest blade i have and its at the center of my small collection, currently have somthing else in the works but will take a few months to complete.

Mastro Livi RWL34, 9/8 Full Hollow, French Point, Black African Ebony​

After having shaved for about two weeks with the prototype of Mastro Livi Club Razor 2017 - and, of course, after having returned to the legitimate owner, that is Mastro Livi - this Sunday I opted for this RWL34 razor. First of all, differences between the two razors: while the Club Razor 2017 gives a very close shave with a velvety touch, the RWL34 blade too provides a very close shave however with a more aggressive feeling. They certainly are two superb shavers, two different ways of experiencing shaving, however both giving impeccable and magnificent results. Today was also the occasion to use one of my favorite aftershave brands - Floïd - in this case the Spanish Mentolado Suave. Although I like the "Vigoroso" better, this one certainly is a very good lotion. Mastro Livi Best Badger shave brush had no problem at all in mounting a super rich and creamy lather from my homemade shaving soap. Not to mention how happy I am for the quality and performance of my "kitchen experiments" in making soaps.​

Excellent close up, Matt. Especially liked the diagonal orientation of your elements. Hope you enjoyed the movie.

Thank you, Ron. Yes, it was a very enjoyable film.

Very slightly layout with the PAA DOC between the Plisson and the Crown tub. Ground level perspective is perfect.

Thank you sir.

 

[mdwolfie86]

Thanks Ron, yeah well I figured I'd give them another shot in a different razor and see how they do before completely dropping them from my line up of shave gear.
