Nice pic Robert! I should have bought that Injectomatic two months ago as now all that I see needs lots of work to brought up to user grade

 

Excellent setup. I sold my Da Vinci 290 and now regret it. Cant beat the Timeless!

 

Excellent setup Clint!

Today's shave was nice. Love finishes my soap commander week. Th three pass shave with the 24. Took some getting used to the angle (been a while), but ginished with a nice shave. Double tap ending.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

Getting Ready to Go Back Home​

This month's trip ended and I am ready to go back home. Of course, before leaving, I shaved as usual and now it is the time to packing. In terms of shaving, this month's trip has been amazing and superlative thanks to the latest Mastro Livi ArtInox I added to my collection and that I took with me. It certainly was the best choice, always giving an impeccable and luxurious shave. For this shave I used the well known Omega 48 bristle brush along with Cella almond shaving cream and aftershave lotion, the same Mastro Livi is selling in his website offered with an elegant Grifetto shave set. In this shave I also used a new product a friend gave me: a beard balm made by Orthoestetica which I used as a post shave and proved to be as good as my usual olive oil. Ready to go now!​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Cella Almond Shaving Cream
• Brush: Omega Bristle 48
• Bowl: Chinese Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi ArtInox, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Orthoestetica Beard Balm
• After Shave: Cella Aftershave Lotion

before cleaning


after cleaning

 

That's a beauty!

 

Thank you, buddy!

 

I love the De Vergulde Hand balm and soap so much. The company has been around for more than 450 years so they must be doing something right!

 

I dont know of your from Holland, but on the dutch shaving forum its not very lover.
People complain of the lather drying out.

I like it tough, the key is loading the soap with a soaking wet brush.

And as you say, the balm is excellent.
I very much love the scent of the products as well.

Have you tried the extra fris version?

 

thanks, i spend too much time searching auctions, just ask my wife.. i do get lucky sometimes,.this was sold by a person that knows nothing about razors, and was estate sale find... the guy shipped it with loose rusty used blades. hahaha
