Gentlemen,

Welcome to the first full week of 2015. I hope it finds all of you well. To start the year off on the right note, this week features what seems to be the most popular theme, black and white photographs. Next week, we will have a "Shave Stick" theme, so get your favorites ready.

Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14, 15/16 Full Hollow, Spanish Point

I know I said this already, but I absolutely love this new Mastro Livi stainless steel, the very same he uses for the making of Grifetto. This straight razor is however special in many regards, it was made by Mastro Livi in a very limited edition and especially created for the first meet up in Perugia organized for the members of rasando.it, an Italian forum about shaving and of which have been made three exemplars only. Hence the name of the razor: "Perugia 13.12.14", as this meet up took place last 13 December 2014. Stunning shaver for an impeccable result.​
