Results: Each day this week, I will be shaving with one of my Japanese razors (the western straights, not Kamisori style). My Toyo collection is complete now (I think). I had been looking for this Toyo #776 for some time now and as fate would have it, blade and master were finally united

. Honed her up about a week ago and happy to report that after setting the bevel, she took on an extremely sharp and ultra smooth edge

. Given that the proof was ultimately in the proverbial pudding, she passed this test with flying colors. Didn't feel a darn thing ...I had to run my fingers across my face to believe that I had shaved. It was that good

. Not even the slightest hint of micro stubble anywhere on the face...Smooth as butter. These Toyo steels are truly amazing instruments

. Of course, one cannot forget about the other players...the MdC lather played a key role in making this shave a success. I love this soap !!!! Wholesome to goodness, all the way to its core

. Finished things with the MdC oil of copra on the face and some Eau de Lavende behind the ears and I am off to tackle a busy day.

Have a BEAUTIFUL Monday Gentlemen

My goodness, that is a beautiful razor! If I can read it well it says 'Maestro Luis made in Italy'? Would you care to share some details about this beauty?

 

[hitemfrank]

It's 'Maestro Livi' on the razor. He makes some fantastic looking razors. Have a look here http://www.coltellerielivi.com/Livi_Rasoi_da_barba_Fatti_a_mano_en.html
