* Wonderful photos, gentlemen! Enjoy your day! :thumbup:


Welcome to the new week, Gentlemen.

This is week is a "Free Week", so let's see your most creative shave photos. After my difficulties posting pictures last week, it seems the new update for OS8 let's me upload photos again. Next week, we will follow the IOTW, and the Halloween flavored theme will be "Scary Soaps", so I look forward to lots of Arko and Williams photographs. After that, I'd like to do something that has to do with Breast Cancer awareness, so if any of you have an idea for a theme that would be fitting, please PM me.

Mastro Livi Damasco "100 layers", 13/16 Extra Hollow, Square Point
What I love about this razor is the smell of the scales. Juniper wood with its very intense aroma really adds an extra pleasure to the Mastro Livi experience. Not to mention the smoothness of this carbon Damascus steel, personally made by Mastro Livi and made of a total of 100 layers. Smooth, very smooth, absolutely pure velvet, it is a joy to shave with. And, yes, the aroma of juniper wood is absolutely wonderful!​

Oh MY!!! The NEW is a phenomenal shaver!! I got myself a very rare BBS on my first use. I have a couple spots on my neck that I rarely can get to a BBS but the New did the trick. Used Eton College this morning and will use it until October first when I will use some Razorock soaps for the month. Love Eton's scent....one of, if not, my top scents. easy to lather, yadda yadda yadda. Its TOBS cream and you just cannot go wrong with them. A pleasure to shave with.

Today I used a Wardonia Razor. The Gillette blade I used had to be modified to fit the three hole cap and base. Installing the blade took a bit of work to get the blade to sit evenly when tightening the razor. The cutting angle is a lot different than any of my other double edge razors. The angle is closer to 90 degrees. The shave was a really close, and I did achieve BBS with my normal 4 pass shave. Going across the grain on my neck was a bit of a challenge, with the cutting angle that needed to be used. All in all I was very pleased with the performance of the razor. I am not sure if I will keep this razor in rotation due to the extra work needed to modify blades to fit the razor.
