    Still on vacation with a Mastro Livi Stainless Damascus Razor

    Still on vacation and still suffering this incredible heat. Italy seems to be on fire this summer and it is pretty impossible to find some relief from this tremendous hot temperature joined to a quite oppressing humidity. I fortunately have a sort of relief by shaving, something I am doing with my Mastro Livi "Rasoio Italiano" made of artisan stainless damascus steel. This shave was also the occasion to try this new Felce Azzurra aftershave lotion I bought in a local market and, to tell you the truth, it did not impress me that much. The result was however very good, also thanks - of course - to the excellence of this razor and, let me add this, the smoothness and slickness of my shaving soap. The more I use this soap, the more I like it! I guess I have almost achieved my goal, that is making a shaving soap suitable for straight razor shaving - it can also be used for DE shaving, of course - and I think the formula and the making process I am using are almost meeting the idea I have in mind.​
    • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil

    • Bowl: Gerby Bowl
    • Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
    • Razor: Mastro Livi Stainless Damascus "Rasoio Italiano", 8/8 Full Hollow, Spanish Point

    • Post-Shave: Extravirgin Olive Oil
    • After Shave: Felce Azzurra Aftershave Lotion

    SOTD

    Satin Tip synthetic
    Tabac
    '63 Slim on 6
    7 O'clock black (3)
    Thayer's Rose
    Pinaud Clubman


    This was a really great shave. The blade is perfectly broken in and the Pinaud goes really well with the Tabac. I've also gone back to face lathering and the Satin Tip is a great little brush for that.

    Razor: Gillette Executive (1960)(6)
    Blade: Gillette Platinum (4)
    Brush: WDC-4, Silvertip Badger, Butterscotch. (VIG) 24/67
    Cream: The Real Shaving Company
    Bowl: "One a Marine always a Marine"
    A/S: Old Spice Classic

    Moved the Executive up to 6 and did 2 passes tonight. Worked great. Got a very comfortable close shave this evening. The Real Shaving Company cream whips up a very good lather very easily. Classic Old Spice A/S is still a great finish. I try a different cream tomorrow.

    Brut Cologne

    This is what a menthol lover like myself can call heaven or rapture - the Glacial Wintergreen trio is guaranteed to put heavy duty icicles in a man's face. The soap is so easy to lather, smells awesome, and freezes the heebie jeebies out of you with such brilliant skincare. The matching balm moisturizes the skin so well with its own bone-chilling menthol power, and finally, the witch hazel hits with a freeze which can kick the Rubby Dubby Doo right in the teeth. Lately I'm really loving the Brut cologne because it's so old-school in the scent. ;) :D

    To all, a good weekend in advance! :)
