Welcome to the new week, Gentlemen!

I enjoyed last week's pet theme immensely. It was great to see such important members of your families. This week, the theme is "Giving Thanks". In the States, it is Thanksgiving holiday week, but all of us have plenty to be thankful for. For me, I went with some of my favorite shaving gear, to go along with being thankful for the company of all the members here.

Next week will be an Italian Soaps theme week.

Thankful that I am able to continue using this Gillette Fatboy and Rite Made vintage brush, along with the Vintage Brut 33 in memorium of my Father in Law. Without him and his choices of shave equipment I may not have had the chance.

Two things I am very thankful for are free time and coffee!
Since free time goes by too fast and I can't capture it on film,
this is about the best I can do! Happy Monday Morning Shaves All!

Mastro Livi "100 Layers" Damascus

Yet another perfect shave! Mastro Livi damascus steel is always capable of giving a super smooth and velvety touch, not to mention the deep and impeccable shave. I love this razor for many reasons. The beautiful Mastro Livi carbon Damascus steel, made of 100 layers and with a lovely wood pattern, and its juniper scales with their wonderful aroma. The extra hollow ground is a genuine work of art and talent - completely hand made, of course - making this straight razor sing.​
