Mastro Livi ArtInox, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point​

For my monthly trip I decided to take with me the latest Mastro Livi razor I added to my collection. This Mastro Livi Artinox gives a superb and smooth shave as well as having a beautiful look with its light stripes pattern. ArtInox it the name Mastro Livi gave to his artisan martensitic stainless damascus steel, a wonder he makes in his laboratory by combining different stainless steels all suited for hardening, therefore perfect for making a cutting edge. Yet another masterpiece from Mastro Livi proving his craftsmanship in working steels and, in particular, stainless steel as to be successful in making a artisan damascus steel completely made from martensitic stainless steels. I love this razor!​

Aftershave: Uncle Jon's Silk Road

An excellent shave this morning. Uncle Jon's produces an easy, slick and protective lather, easily top 5 for me. I really like this scent as well, spicy but with a nice vanilla base. The Supply Provision Custom with the 3 dot head is as close to perfection as I've found. A very easy 3 passes to a BBS shave. There was not even a tickle from the alum. I'm sitting in the airport putting my daughter on a plane to visit her aunt in Oregon over spring break. Prayers for a safe trip are appreciated. Have a great day folks!

Had an excellent shave this morning. Tim's always makes a superb lather and the Mongoose had no troubles turning 3 days of growth into BBS.

It does take a long time. I remember it stated the molding, drying, x2 firing is a 12 week process before they even ship. Has it been 3 months already?

Where is that stick from?

I placed my order around the end of November as I recall.
