Thank you, sir! I am glad you like my Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor, it certainly is one of the finest shavers I have in my collection.

Same set up as I've used for a few days now. I've kept my no shave November beard so I'm just shaving my neck. Yesterday did a warm water shave and had really bad irritation. Today I went back to the cold water shave and had far less irritation.

I am. It's the only brush that fits in my travel tube.

 

Gillette Fatboy (G3) Razor
Rapira Super Stainless Blade
Frank Shaving Badger Brush
Lemon Sugar & Frankincense & Myrrh Soap
Dickinson's WitchHazel
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

Didn't have time to post this earlier, but better late than never, I guess. An excellent shave today with the Fatboy combining with the Rapira blade for a very nice three pass BBS shave.

 

Decadent December!!

December 11


Razor - 1959 Gillette Super Speed
Blade - (2)
Soap - Route 66 Sweeney Todd
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Post - Alum

So, yesterday I opened a Feather blade. Something I rarely do. And, paired with the Fatip it performed very well, if a bit harsh. Yeah, putting this sharp a blade into an aggressive assassin like the Fatip - bold move. So, since it's out of its wrapper I figured I'd just switch it to a milder razor and chose my '59 Super Speed. One of my favorite razors and its humble status belies the fact it is one fine shaving machine. I chose the BoS for the brush and stayed another day with the Route 66 Sweeney Todd. No complaints there at all. In fact, it's now in my rotation. Top three soaps, in my humble opinion - Mitchell's Wool Fat, Tabac, and Route 66. What order are they in? Doesn't matter. They're my top three. Add Arko for blade trials and Proraso (pick a color) for the occasional diversion and there you have it. The soaps in my den.

Fantastic lather by the Omega and 66. I think this soap prefers a boar brush, at least in my hands, but I do use boar more often than anything else. First pass was very smooth and definitely a better feel than the Fatip. The milder design of the razor tames the Feather down nicely. Second pass was all that was needed to finish off a very nice BBS. A bit of touch up but not much. One fine shave with one fine setup.

My weekend has begun! And starting with that kind of a shave......nothing left to say but.......
