Mastro Livi CarboInox Italy​

Still on vacation and still enjoying shaving with the two Mastro Livi razors I recently added to my collection. Today was the turn of this breathtaking CarboInox razor with a stripe pattern and the Italian flag inserted on the scales. An absolutely stunning masterpiece, an incredible CarboInox made by joining carbon steel and martensitic stainless steel together, created by the genius and talent of Mastro Livi. Not to mention the impeccable excellence in shaving with a super smooth edge honed to perfection by Mastro Livi. A superb, super smooth, close and velvety shave, a feather caressing the skin. For this shave I also used Tcheon Fung Sing Barbe Rosse shaving cream, with a lovely almond scent, it is a soap with a good performance, not to mention a very cheap price, a classic Italian soap you cannot be wrong in buying it. Mennen Skin Bracer is the after shave I like using in summer because of the pleasing cooling effect provided by menthol, very refreshing with a lovely fragrance.​

Reef Point Peerless today. 20 seconds to load the RR/Zenith Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna 74 still in the NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner.

I don't know if it's the power of suggestion or just my imagination because this Glacial MITA soap seems a little colder than all the other Glacials. It's definitely MUCH, MUCH colder than the regular version with the same awesome scent, lather, and skincare. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream and the Rubby Dubby Doo made the end of this wonderful shave so frigid and invigorating. I think for this coming week I'll be using my Chinese-made Junjie DE.
