Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade - Personna Lab Blue (#3)
Brush - Vie-Long 04312 Cachurro Horse
Soap - Saponificio Varensino 70th Anniversary Soap
After - Frozen towel / Saponificio Varensino 70th Anniversary Aftershave
Result - Dolphin Smooth

I've been waiting so long to try this beautiful combination and.........well......WOW!!! For a non-tallow soap to be this good, surely can't be right! The scent is secondary only to Dior's Fahrenheit in my book, very masculine. It certainly won't be my last SV soap, as it has everything I'm looking for, plus that scent. The aftershave is balm-like and the post shave feel is as good as it gets.
This is as good as shave as it's possible to get with a DE.

 

How lovely and the brush is just special.

Mastro Livi Grifetto​

Mastro Livi Grifetto is a stunning razor. I have three in my collection and they all are wonderful and lovely shavers. Including this one Mastro Livi made for me with mother of pearl scales. Mastro Livi Grifetto is available in six different models, all having the very same blade but different scales: olive wood, Grifetto 60, cocobolo, black African ebony, white mother of pearl and abalone. As I already have olive wood and Grifetto 60, I opted for mother of pearl scales and I must admit I am very charmed and amazed by their look and beauty. When Mastro Livi made this Grifetto for me, he allowed me to shoot a video about the making which I will publish soon on my Youtube channel. I guess many fellow wet shavers would be interested in watching how a Grifetto is made and to know more about the differences between a fully artisan made Mastro Livi straight razor and Grifetto.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil

The Schick C1 repeating razor delivered a perfect shave this morning. Have a great day everyone!

 

Gute Besserung mein Freund - pass auf Dich auf!

Schick E2 / Schick (5)
Tabac
Omega 10051
Every Man Jack Mint Face Lotion
Tabac Eau De Cologne
This was the first time I have used Tabac. It is a good soap with plenty of slickness and cushion and I find the scent enjoyable. I am not sure if I will classify it as a great soap yet, I will have to use it a few more times with different brushes to see if I can really dial it in. I think it is quite thirsty and I might not have used enough water with it. I do not think it is on the same level as MWF or Williams. The Schick E2 left me dolphin smooth with no irritation. The Tabac Cologne has great staying power as I splashed some on yesterday at noon and TWGW commented on it late in the evening. In anticipation of receiving the Bunny razor from Hodge (it should arrive next week) I will go on an Injector binge. I will use a different injector each day before I do my bunny binge.
