    Our JoAnna sure knows how to make a great soap - the Iced Subzero lathered like a champ for me and gave me a tremendous freeze which the Rubby Dubby Doo prolonged. A wonderful BBS shave in two easy passes!

    Juniper Shave​

    Today I was in the mood for having a juniper shave, I mean juniper fragrance. That's why I opted for Mastro Livi razor and shave brush having juniper wood scales and handle. I absolutely love the smell of juniper wood, very Mediterranean and aromatic, it has a strong yet lovely fragrance, something you can usually smell when you walk in Mediterreanean woods. The razor is an incredible masterpiece made by Mastro Livi, with its artisan carbon damascus steel made of 100 layers and with a sort of "wood" pattern, it is incredibly beautiful. Not to mention the fact Mastro Livi ground the blade to a full extra hollow, this razor sings like an Italian "tenore". The shave brush, with its double band wild silver badger loft, mounted to perfection my homemade shaving soap and making a super rich and smooth lather. The finishing touch has been provided by Brut Classic, an aftershave reminding me of the times when I was a kid and was using this fragrance in order to "smell like a man".​
    • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
    • Soap: RazorGuy Shaving Soap
    • Brush: Mastro Livi Double Band Wild Silver Badger, Juniper Handle, 24mm Knot
    • Bowl: Chinese Bowl
    • Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
    • Razor: Mastro Livi "100 Layers" Carbon Damascus, 13/16 Extra Full Hollow, Square Point, Juniper Wood Scales
    • Post-Shave: Alum Block
    • Post-Shave: Argan Oil
    • After Shave: Brut Classic

    Day 25 of 30 days of Henckel straights

    I did a single pass shave on most of my face and a double pass on my neck today using the smaller 4/8 round toe. I got a decent, if imperfect shave. Some areas are very smooth and some could use another pass. However, I look like I have shaved, which was all I was looking for today.

    DIY Pre-Shave Oil
    ABC Face Lathered
    1+ pass, WTG
    24MM silvertip set an extra 10mm deep
    Sampsons All Natural Aftershave Balm
    Round Toe 4/8 Henckel 89 1/2
