Thanks man! My wife snaps some good photos. She is playing with photoshop as we speak to try and get the mirror in BW and the rest in color. She took a ton of cool photos, but I figured two were enough for this post.

R. Maximum, Custom Mr. Magnus 24mm Silvertip and Spencer and Devin cream




You get the picture of the box and beer since my wife called at that moment with a flat tire. I did return to a nice shave though and do promise better pics in the future. This was my booty from the January giveaway. The razor is a cool one, with some neat work on the spine. The brush is a real prize, with a nice heft to it and it's just beautiful! The cream has a very nice spicy sort of aroma. I wish everyone could win SRP giveaways every day - it was like Christmas in that little box!

Big thanks to Bluebriz, MrMagnus, anonymous donor and of course, st8razor and the rest of the SRP community!

First shave with the W&B I just restored, turned out to be a great shaver!
