Mastro Livi KamiRazor​

Sunday shave is always special because I usually have more time to spend on it, so I can plan it carefully, spending more time choosing a soap, aftershave and the rest. This time I opted for this Mastro Livi KamiRazor in CarboInox and Abalone scales, that is a kamisori blade mounted on scales. It was quite a long time I was not using Valobra soaps: today I saw the jar in which I am keeping it and I thought it was the time. I remembered it is a soap I like and my memories were right. As I was using an Italian soap, the aftershave had to be Italian as well. A glance at the aftershave bottles and I opted for Pino Silvestre, a classic Italian fragrance of old times. It was a very good shave, after all.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Valobra Almond Shave Cream
• Brush: Mastro Livi Perugia Eco-Silvertip, Bois De Rose Handle, 26mm knot
• Bowl: Bamboo Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox KamiRazor, 13/16 Full Hollow, Snake Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Olive Oil
• After Shave: Pino Silvestre

 

"Joseph", but thanks anyway!

 

After not using this Cerrus cream in more than 7 years it surprised me at how nice it still smells and how well the lather remains. I found 2 tubes which I completely forgot about - one about half-finished and a brand-new one. It's the only German cream which has a menthol effect, albeit mild. The Lucky Tiger balm moisturized and gave me a great soothing feeling with extra menthol and the Max Refreshing aftershave (I think it was discontinued) really froze me and smells awesome. No complaints about this shave!
