    Mastro Livi Kamisori, 13/16 French Point, Hakkapella Damasteel, Abalone Handle​

    Kamisori shave is always fascinating, add to this the beauty and super performance of a Mastro Livi kamisori, you simply get a stellar top notch shave. This kamisori has the exclusive Mastro Livi kamisori grinding, giving the omote side of the blade an extra cutting performance than a traditional Japanese kamisori. Not to mention the mesmerizing Damasteel Hakkapella pattern and the abalone handle, this Mastro Livi kamisori is an incredible masterpiece. I am also very happy about my home made almond oil shaving cream proving to be incredible with a supple, round, moisturizing and very protective lather. This Mastro Livi Super Silvertip Badger brush easily mounted a perfect and rich lather. The finishing touch has been delivered by my homemade Bay Rum aftershave I made with real dark rum and real pimenta racemosa leaves.​

    Blade: Kai Captain Mild
    Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
    Brush: JR #60 synthetic
    Lather: Williams Mug Soap
    Post: Witch hazel splash, Aqua Velva aftershave
    WTG, touch-up

    The Black Hawk performed quite well today as usual. I had decent lather from the Williams. It didn't completely dissipate on me for the first pass. The reapplication of lather for touch-up vanished within a few seconds. But it sure is slick! Good shave all around, not the best, but not bad either.

    Have a great day!

    Doug-I got 25 and 30 shaves from the first two "74's" I used. All were first class shaves. I probably could have stretched it, but decided to quit while I was ahead.

    Thursday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
    Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
    Razor: Gillette Slim
    Blade: Vintage Personna 74 Tungsten (12)
    Brush: RazoRock/Zenith Chubby Extra Silvertip-28mmx51mm
    Aftershave: Anucci Sport EdT

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    Route 66 Bourbon Jungle today. 20 seconds to load the RR/Zenith Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna 74 Tungsten in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Anucci Sport EdT.
