Traveling with a Mastro Livi Grifetto Mother of Pearl​

Every time I travel and I take with me one of my three Mastro Livi Grifetto razors, I always end up thinking Grifetto is a great solution for traveling. Not to mention Mastro Livi loom strop which perfectly fits to my luggage. Grifetto has a super sharp and long lasting edge, you simply need to strop it with your hand palm and the razor is ready to give you a luxurious shave. I am very happy to own three of them and this time I took with me the one with mother of pearl scales, so beautiful to look at. Another good performing shave tool is Omega Professional 48 shave brush, in my opinion one of the very best bristle shave brush around. As for the soap, the super classic Tcheon Fung Sing "Barbe Rosse" proves to be a very good, yet very cheap, shaving soap providing a super luxurious lather and excellent glide to the razor. The finishing touch has been given by Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla aftershave, although I do not like its fragrance that much, it however is a very good aftershave and you can tell it has more alcohol than most of the other aftershave lotions.​

***this shampoo is a great one for learning the "a little goes a long way" rule, as it's tough to squeeze out.

 

Thanks very much Rob. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Trying some new things
My wife bought me some new things to try: Body Shop Maca Root cream and this "Smoothie" from Lush. I got a decent shave, but these won't replace my regular software. I'll use the smoothie as a hand cream - it does leave my skin soft.

Decided to use a razor which I've never used before and picked this Gem, and what a delight it turned out to be. After my first pass, it took off a good amount of my beard, that I decided to do just a two pass shave. With just a hint at touch up, it provided me with a nice BBS shave.

 

Good setup and picture.

 

thank you

 

Nice setup, Primo! I really like that glass shaving soap mug!
