Thread: My Mastro Livi razor, at last: a wonderful life experience!

Razorguy: Just finished reading your narrative.
A thing I have not mentioned about myself is that I play classical guitar. I also play the mandolin, violin and banjo, so I understand exactly what you are saying. In the luthier world there are so many craftsmen in making the guitar, all, more or less, exclusively dedicated to the classical instrument. When I see these instruments I weep because I know I will never own one; they are made for professional performers, not teachers, or mechanics, or carpenters. They strive for excellence that will meet the performers desire and the audience's ear. Some of these instruments command prices as high as $25,000, the vintage instruments go into the millions (I am speaking generally here now).
You have brought to my attention that sometimes it is merely respect and appreciation for what a craftsman does. It reminds me that I am nothing, but brought into the presence of beauty you become something for a moment in that instance of your sincerity. I buy old, beat up, used up straight razors from antique shops, but they must show me that there is some beauty there, because these are the only ones I can afford. Every one shaves differently on the limited acreage of my face. I may be wrong, but it appears that you have been working on this narrative for awhile because you wanted as perfect a presentation as you could get. Right now this old , tired man, eyes filled with tears understanding exactly what you are feeling. You sir have been blessed and I too for the opportunity to have read such a well crafted narrative.
