Thank you, sir!
Sunday's SOTD
Prep: hot shower, Lucky Tiger Face Scrub
Pre-shave: Hot towel, Baum.be Pre-shave Gel
Razor: Wade and Butcher 6/8" in Walnut scales
Brush: Excalibur Rustics (Rob Gubber) 24mm Super Silvertip
Soap: Castle Forbes Lime Shaving Cream
Post-shave: Alum, cold towel, Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Castle Forbes Lime Aftershave Balm (sample)
Not a bad shave, as every day goes I learned something new, or at least was able to see in practice what people recommend constantly. I concentrated on blade angle today and keeping the spine as close to the skin, and when successful, it was very comfortable. A few times, in difficult areas, the angle got away from me. I generally was able to tell when that happened, though there were a few spots that the alum let me know were not quite right. One nick, I managed to barely catch my right earlobe. Wasn't too bad of a bleeder, looked more like I had my ear pierced. Ended up with a DFS for the most part, with a couple of my trouble spots at what I would consider a CCS. I'm happy to be making progress, and am not discouraged in the least.
I just got the Lime Castle Forbes in today, and what a pleasure to shave with. It is quite thirsty for a cream.
All in all a great end to a good weekend! Hope it is going well for everyone else!

Mastro Livi CarboInox Italy
Mastro Livi CarboInox Italy
Still on vacation and still enjoying shaving with the two Mastro Livi razors I recently added to my collection. Today was the turn of this breathtaking CarboInox razor with a stripe pattern and the Italian flag inserted on the scales. An absolutely stunning masterpiece, an incredible CarboInox made by joining carbon steel and martensitic stainless steel together, created by the genius and talent of Mastro Livi. Not to mention the impeccable excellence in shaving with a super smooth edge honed to perfection by Mastro Livi. A superb, super smooth, close and velvety shave, a feather caressing the skin. For this shave I also used Tcheon Fung Sing Barbe Rosse shaving cream, with a lovely almond scent, it is a soap with a good performance, not to mention a very cheap price, a classic Italian soap you cannot be wrong in buying it. Mennen Skin Bracer is the after shave I like using in summer because of the pleasing cooling effect provided by menthol, very refreshing with a lovely fragrance.
- Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
- Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing Barbe Rosse
- Brush: Omega Brush 89
- Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
- Razor: Mastro Livi Strips CarboInox Italian Flag, 7/8 Full Hollow, Spanish Point
- Post-Shave: Alum Block
- Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
