Mastro Livi CarboInox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Barber's Notch​

A memorable shave. A stunning beautiful straight razor, a magnificent soap, a fabulous brush, a luxurious aftershave. I wanted the best for the first shave in which I used this superior, stunning, amazing and beautiful Mastro Livi CarboInox straight razor. I love Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus touch and thanks to this razor, which point is made of stainless steel, I discovered a new pleasure in shaving. The blade is velvety and smooth - like every Mastro Livi carbon damascus steel is - while the point becomes a little more aggressive - because of stainless steel - very effective is some particular spots of the face. A superior straight razor, just another proof of the craftsmanship, talent, art and skill of this remarkable Italian artisan, a genius in making straight razors, both in performance and beauty!​

• Pre-Shave: Myrsol Emulsión
• Soap: Elberel P.160
• Brush: Mastro Livi Silvertip, Makassar Ebony Handle, 26mm knot
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Barber's Notch
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Oil
• After Shave: Floïd Blue

SE Sunday - Circa 1914 Giant Junior, Parker BCPB, Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar, Nivea Energy Splash & Sensitive PS Balm, Stag Talc.

First shave with the Giant Junior, Pulled the spine and clipped the corners of a regular SE blade to fit. For me the best cutting angle seemed to be about halfway between a 1912 and a Gillette DE.

Enjoy Your Day Gents!

Sunday

Prep: Hot Shower-MdC Fougere Bath Soap
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougere
Razor: Gillette NEW Short Comb
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel (3)
Brush: Plisson #12 Grey Badger--22mmx56mm
Aftershave: Country Modern Fougere

MdC today. 20 seconds: load & go with the Plisson badger. Superb, easy, thick, cushioning lather. Rapira Swede SS in the New Short Comb. Excellent, smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished with Country Club Modern Fougere.

Dave, thanks. I'm not planning on filling a bowl that large with lather, BUT I do have major league sized pot of chili on the stove top and that bowl might be appropriate in a few hours.
