Brush: Omega 48
Soap: Wickham 1912 Cashmere sample
Razor: Muhle R41 + new rapira
AS: Clubman

... first try with a rapira- bit of tugging etc but will try it again for the next shave to give it a fair trial at least. 1912 was a really nice lather aswell- definitely going to buy on next order.

Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point​

Mastro Livi Grifetto is an amazing straight razor and, in particular Grifetto 60, is really special. This straight razor celebrates sixty years of Mastro Livi dedicated to straight razor making, restoration and revaluation. It shaves very well giving a very smooth shave with no irritations of the skin. Grifetto is one of the many proofs of how Mastro Livi works stainless steel in making superb straight razors. For today's shave I used a couple of English products made by Truefitt & Hills and Geo F. Trumper. It was in fact quite a long time I was not using products from these two prestigious English companies.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes Shaving Cream
• Brush: Mastro Livi Perugia Best Badger, Olive Handle, 24 mm Knot
• Bowl: Old Barber Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Grifetto 60, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Geo F. Trumper Eucris Eau de Toilette

Another enticing shot.

Beautiful photo, Ron. What do you think of the Evolution?

This was only my second use of the razor so I'm still "learning" it. To me it a very good razor and quite efficient, though a little smaller than I like. Some have noted that it is aggressive but I don't find it so. It is comfortable in the hand and easy to maneuver. I want to try a few different blades to see if I get comparable shaves.

Thanks Ron. Keeps the rest of my gear hidden and the wife happy!

Thanks Ron!
