Shaved September 7, 2014


PRE: Proraso eucalyptus and mint

RAZOR: A. Razor French Vedll previously recognized in leather

BRUSH: The Druid of natural and synthetic hair horn heather

SOAP: Cream Weleda

FOAM: Mixed with comfort foam

POST: Brut La Toja balm lotion and protect 7


It's my third decent shave with the razor to which I am starting to get aftertaste and it shaves great little wren.

I shaved this time with three passes, two in favor and one almost reluctantly by the difficult of the neck and have gotten a close very, very good.

I've had a couple of porillos bleeding in the neck area but without much importance has been solved well with the lotion only.
I must clarify that the Weleda cream is great because I got so low for comfort and very good sliding the knife creating a creaminess and unsurpassed slip for it.

For now I just shave razor purposes for that to be doing more calm and not take risks with the rush.

Saved by Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop​

This morning I found out this Dovo Bismarck was pulling a little and it was not so comfortable. After all, I honed this razor the day I received it as a gift and - although they said it was sold as shave ready - it truly needed proper honing. It was about one year ago. When I am traveling I always bring with me my lovely Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop which perfectly fits in my bag. All I needed to do was to spread Mastro Livi chromium oxide stick on the loom strop, do about ten laps on the razor and this gave me a very good and sharp edge. Ready to shave!​

• Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre-Shave Green
• Soap: Negozio Leggero Hazelnut Lavender Shaving Soap
• Brush: Omega Bristle Brush 89
• Bowl: Chinese Cheap Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm Stropping
• Razor: Dovo 2Bismarck Pearl, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round point
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Floïd The Genuine After Shave
