    WEDNESDAY
    Day One of Seven
    Today, i began my week-long test drive of this custom Mastro Livi 8/8 damascus steel razor (thanks to Mike / @entropy1049 ).
    This razor is significantly bigger than practically any other razor I've had the pleasure to use. The edge is wickedly sharp! The scales are large but fit comfortably in my big hands. I had to be careful not to hit the extension mirror with the scale ends a few times. Once I got accustomed to the sheer size of using it, this razor performed wonderfully! Slow and steady was my mantra, and the end result was a near BBS (I didn't risk chasing it…yet).
    No blood, no irritation our tender spots. Just smoooooooth! This should be a fun week! :)

    Only the best for me! ;) I want everyone to know who is shaving with this fine piece of history. I am still surprised no one else picked up this razor with my name on it from the Bay a few weeks ago. I watched it for a couple of days, but some how it escaped the attention of everybody else. The $5 shipped was a little steep, but it became apparent this razor was meant for my Den, so I swooped in and got it.

    image.jpg Razor: Gillette Old Type Open Comb Ball End NDC 1920s (from "The Weekender" by Metalfield kit)
    Brush: Fuller Amber Badger 1920s -1940s
    Mug: Old Spice Hull Pottery Mug 01 1938 - 1944 the first mug
    Cream: TOBS Grapefruit cream
    Blade: Feather (1)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1956 glass AS Stopper #3, Old Spice original Shulton 1947 glass Talcum powder (ship Mt. Vernon sailing to right)

    Celebrating my acquisition of my Old Spice Hull Pottery Mug 01, the First mug, wow! So I'm using a lot of vintage shave items going all the way back to the 1920s.
    The TOBS whipped up nicely with the Fuller brush, that I got NOS in the box. I use everything I have, and even this rare Old Spice Hull mug will get used, but not very often. The Gillette Old OC is a nice razor, but it is rather aggressive with my blade of choice, the Feather. I just have to be careful with this light razor, and use no pressure. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm and then a little OS talc from 1947. Finished with some vintage Old Spice AS from 1956, nice. Y'all have a good one!

    SHAVE OF THE DAY
    sotd49.jpg



    RAZOR: GILLETTE SUPER SPEED FLAIR TIP
    BLADE: POL SILVER (5TH SHAVE)
    BRUSH: FINE ANGEL HAIR SYNTHETIC
    SOAP: OGALLALA BAY RUM SAGE & CEDAR (bombed)
    POST: CAPTAIN'S CHOICE LIME



    Had a quick 2 pass shave today. I added some menthol glycerin to the Ogallala's to add some cooling to the mix. I also don't think I have ever tried a mentholated bay rum soap, it turned out pretty good considering Ogallala is not the slickest soap around, but it is a great value and the scent is good. It pairs nicely with the Captains Choice Lime which has a bite to it. Not too bad, but you will notice it for sure. Hope everyone has a great shave and a great day!!

    I saw it on there but decided that since my name wasn't Jim to pay an extra $2 and get the unengraved version. I'm glad it found a good home. I'm also very glad I have mine, its one of my best shavers.
