My Mastro Livi Shaving Set, at Last!

It has been such a joy today to shave with my Mastro Livi shaving set! I waited many months for this to happen, by ordering one piece at a time, and I finally have in my collection a complete Mastro Livi Shaving Set. The last piece of the set was the straight razor and Mastro Livi finally made it last Saturday, adding a breathtaking masterpiece to this set. It is in fact an artisanal straight razor, totally hand forged by Mastro Livi and by using a forge, hammer and anvil, putting talent, craftsmanship and art to this awesome straight razor. I opted for a French point because I wanted to see the hammer marks on the whole spine and profile and I must admit it has been a magnificent choice. The point of this razor is in fact super precise, not to mention super sharp, making very easy the shaving of tricky spots of the face. I should also add this K600 carbon steel is capable of giving a super velvety sensation to the skin as well as delivering a very deep, close and smooth shave. I am absolutely very proud of this hand forged straight razor not to mention my Mastro Livi Shaving Set. Now completed, at last!​
