    Great picture! The schick N series are on my radar, these are rare. There are a few on ebay but 50 bucks is too much for me at this time. Mama (wifey) would not be happy.

    Thanks! They are amazing razors when fitted with a twin blade. The long handle makes for easy maneuvering. :happy088:

    Now this is what I call a setup made in Paradise if you're into menthol like I am. The Glacial Obsidian's lather worked up beautifully for me, the black licorice scent came out so nice and strong, and the freeze took hold right away. By the end of the first pass it felt almost painfully-cold and when I re-lathered for my second one I felt like my face was almost coming off. This soap has such great skincare and the matching balm feels the same way - frigid and soothing. The Snake Bite splash gave me a final intense freezing jolt which was so sweet. A BBS shave with so little effort! :happy088: :happy088:

    Mastro Livi ArtInox Stainless Steel Damascus, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point

    Yesterday I finally received the phone call I was waiting since a quite long time. Mastro Livi phoned me and said he had finished making my straight razor. You know what happened next: I drove straight to Mastro Livi's laboratory in order to admire and pick up the latest Mastro Livi masterpiece for my collection. This breathtaking straight razor is a Mastro Livi ArtInox Stainless Steel Damascus, that is a damascus completely made of martensitic stainless steels therefore suited for hardening and tempering, perfect for making cutting edges. Mastro Livi calls his totally artisan made stainless damascus steel "ArtInox". I love the pattern: a subtle and elegant stripe pattern changing its aspect according to the reflection of light. Scales are made of stabilized poplar in blue gray color, simply perfect for the blade. Mastro Livi rules and strikes again with this masterpiece second to none. A gorgeous and perfect shave!​

    • Soap: RazorGuy Sapone da Barba all'Olio di Mandorla
    • Brush: Mastro Livi Silvertip Badger "Pennello Italiano", 24mm Knot

    SOTD: Early morning shave and my first using this vintage Sheffield #3415 6/8" razor from Joseph Smith & Sons (1833-1886)—unique due to the 'fuller' or 'blood groove' evident on one side. Some debate regarding the purpose of these grooves when found on razor (typically one sees them on swords, knives & bayonets) although the main purpose was/is to reduce the overall blade weight. Scary-sharp edge! Soap Commander "Fortitude" soap and matching mentholated balm, custom boar brush. Three passes and BBS results. Have a blessed Sunday, gents!

    Razor: Razor Rock Silver Hawk
    Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (3)
    Brush: VDH Badger
    Cream: Proraso Red
    AS: Hibco Butter Balm

    I`ve been getting the best shaves since I can`t remember. Starting with cleansing my face thoroughly, soaking my beard with hot water to soften the hairs, next, whip up lather and apply. Do 2 passes, WTG/ATG and some XTG, a little, but careful clean-up. Razor Rock`s Hawk and Proraso lather, I think is a great pairing. Finish with a good AS (Hibco is very good). Happy, Happy Camper. Shaves like this makes shaving something special. God Bless and many great shaves.

    Today's shave
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    Semogue SOC
    Bombed Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
    Merkur Progress (4)
    Astra sp (3,maybe4)
    Pinaud Special Reserve
    Today's shave was nice. The SOC made very nice lather from the jungle. Such a nice masculine scent, its warm and soft like your favorite leather jacket, but with a touch of vanilla. The progress remains king for turning prickly into glabrous. I finished with the heavy leather of the special reserve. KT's jungle was silky enough to tame the reserve, sorta like putting cream into coffee. The combo was aromatic enough to elicit praises from my wife.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170219_112451_resized.jpg

    With this setup, a cup of black coffee and all the time in the world, it is hard to have anything but a fantastic shave.
