Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori, 7/8​

Traveling with a Mastro Livi razor is always a joy, not to mention with a beautiful and gorgeous kamisori like this one. I absolutely love the idea of CarboInox in this kamisori: compared to a classic kamisori - usually made of carbon steel and having a opaque finish - the look of stainless steel with its shiny mirror finish is absolutely gorgeous. Not to mention the elegant touch of Mastro Livi damascus steel in the edge: a breathtaking masterpiece. I love it! As for the shave, the blade is simply impeccable, giving a deep and close shave and the refreshing and spicy touch of my Bay Rum is simply great.​

• Pre-Shave: Roberts Distilled Rose Water
• Soap: De Vergulde Hand
• Brush: Omega Bristle 10275
• Bowl: Chinese Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori, 7/8
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: RazorGuy Bay Rum

This razor leaves a great end product, but the shaves just arent as smooth as my other OC's......maybe its just me. Ended up with a DFS though! Love this soap and its sweet rich scent. And the IB 2012 LE brush is rising up my top brush chart.
