Mastro Livi "Rasoio Italiano" Stainless Damascus, 8/8 Full Hollow, Spanish Point

It was quite a long time I was not using this Mastro Livi stainless steel Damascus. It has a very special blade because it is made of genuine artisan made stainless steel Damascus, entirely made by Mastro Livi in his laboratory. He used martensitic stainless steels only, therefore this Damascus can be tempered and used for making a cutting edge. And what a cutting edge, I would add! It gives a smooth and close shave with a somewhat aggressive touch, however very comfortable. Scales are very particular, too. It has a double Italian flag - made of jade, white turquoise and coral - with a middle plate made of fossil mammoth ivory. That's why this razor is called "Rasoio Italiano" (Italian Razor) because it is entirely made in Italy, including the martensitic stainless steel Damascus!​

SOTD - Super Speed Sunday

Pre: Hot shower, Bull Dog face wash, soap bloom water, American Crew pre shave oil
Soap & Brush: Chiseled Face Ghost Town Barber on Semogue 620
Razor & Blade: Gillette SuperSpeed with Laser Ultra (2)
Post: RazoRock alum, Soap Commander Integrity balm
[emoji344]: "Suite No. 3 in D Major" - Münchener Bach-Orchester
☕️: House blend of leftover beans

I had the privilege of using two very exciting new products today (CF Ghost Town Barber and SC Integrity), and let me say that both performed exceptionally well. The Ghost Town Barber was the first product from Chiseled Face that I've used. Soap Commander's Integrity balm joins Passion soap in my den and continues their outstanding quality. I really couldn't be more impressed with Chiseled Face and Soap commander products.

This also has been the first time in recent memory that I've used the Laser blades and it doesn't seem like I'll be getting more than two shaves out of each on the Super Speed.

Nice B&W pic. I think this has pushed me to look for a Rubberset 400-4. I will probably find someone to put an Envy White knot in it.

Thank You Dave, at least the worst is all behind.
And Celestino, went from green lawn to knee deep snow in 5 hours the other day!

Absolutely Stunning Photos Dave. Very Exquisite Tributes Indeed:thumbup:

Great photos, everyone! Enjoy your Saturday!


Thank you my friends
