Great photos, gentlemen! Enjoy your day!

I think that first shave with a new Palmolive Stick is always a bit scary - that aroma gives Arko a run for it's money and that odd green colour...like some ectoplasm!

Bluebeard's | Stealth Head | GSB | XXX

Today I decided to use the bulldog handle on the stealth slant head. I thought that the extra weight would aid me in decreasing the pressure I thought I was adding to the stealth. The result was a good shave....better than the original handle?? Not sure. I am going to need to use the stealth a few more times before I pass any verdict onto it. Im actually thinking that the GSB is not the right blade for the razor. I think I will try a Voskhod in it next.

Getting ready to go back home​

Simply perfect. Simply superb. The more I use this Mastro Livi straight razor the more I like it. I am about to leave and to go back home, so a good shave is the right thing to do before starting packing.

Scary soap I found in the bottom of a shave den drawer, I think it's William's.
It worked just fine though, had to load up the brush a bit more than normal...
