Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point​

Whenever I shave with this Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor, I cannot help thinking about the day Mastro Livi made this razor for me while I was shooting the video of the making. It took a whole day, from morning to early morning of the day after - I remember I was home at around 7:00AM of the day after - but it has been worth every minute I spent there while watching Mastro Livi making this masterpiece. This Snake Razor delivers a heavenly shave, a pleasure added to the amazement of watching such a piece of art. For today's shave I used one of my favorite shaving soaps - Martin de Candre - a super performing soap, capable of making a luxurious, creamy and smooth lather with just a very tiny quantity to be loaded in the brush while being capable of holding a good quantity of water. A special mention goes to the shave brush, a lovely gift a friend of mine - Roberto - made for me and in which has been mounted a wild badger loft, with a lovely handle made of black locust.​

• Brush: Roberto's Brush, Wild Badger, Robinia - Black Locust Handle, 24mm Knot
