Perugia is a very ancient city, here you can get an idea of many Italian historical eras, Perugia was in fact established by Etruscans around 1160 B.C. and every corner of the city can offer you amazing views of all the historical periods of Italy up to modern times. The ancient city is of course the most enchanting place and I am sure you will enjoy it.
Let me congratulate with you for having made such a decision and to celebrate your 40th birthday with the best gift ever: a Mastro Livi razor is something you will treasure forever. And, yes, I am proud of the fact you made such a decision after having read my comments about my experience which I certainly treasured in my heart. Seeing Mastro Livi at work is absolutely amazing!
In case I am in Perugia by the time of your visit, I will certainly be glad to meet a gentleman with a passion for straight razors as well as meeting Mastro Livi again.

Thank you for the information, sounds a truly wonderful place. I'm really looking forward to this trip. I'm looking to be in Perugia around the weekend of the 28th September, approx 23rd Sept to 1st Oct. If you're around it would be great to catch up for a coffee.

With my pleasure! We could also go to Mastro Livi shop together, if you want.

That sounds like a great plan and a very gracious offer which I'll definitely take you up on(I'll probably need some translation help as my Italian is non existent).

I'll have to pm you my design/specification. Mastro is being superb in the process so far (custom razor designing is new to me) and I'm also getting a loom strop and brush with the same wood to match the scales.

P.S I will not be responsible for enabling your Mastro razor addiction and if you happen to purchase any more razors whilst we're there, I'll be looking the other way

It will be a pleasure to help you with Italian. No problem.

I received your PM and I will reply by sending you a regular mail. I too am considering buying a Mastro Livi loom strop: they simply look superb!

Unfortunately, I have been already and severely affected by this addiction and I am afraid I will buy another Mastro Livi soon. I guess very soon. And in case I will do that while we are at Mastro Livi shop, please don't look the other way: it would be nice to have at least some kind of support from someone who understands the addiction!

We'll all know it's bad when you've sold your house to buy another razor and you're sleeping rough outside his shop.

You are right! Anyway, I guess I would always have a perfect shave and no one would notice that!
