SOTD: 15/xi/2014
DOUBLE DEUCE!
Mongoose B1 (58)
Jürgen Hempel Spiral (12)
Feather Professional (22)
Plisson Acetate Pearly Gray Synthetic
Barrister & Mann - Fougère Imperiale (15)
Barrister & Mann Tonique - Fougère Classique
This is the last use in the Feather Pro blade. The shave started a little tight but it still gave me a great shave. I just was wise enough not to push it on my ATG pass. I really just did a modified XTG instead.
Overall this was a nice shave that was brought up to the superb level by the scents and performance of both the soap and aftershave. Great job on both of these William.

Mastro Livi K720, 7/8 Full Hollow, Square Point
Smooth, velvety and keen: this Mastro Livi straight razor made from K720 steel is a caress on the face. I am very happy for having bought this razor and I like the scales with their lovely chequered pattern. Not to mention how sharp it is, smooth and velvet, it delivers an impeccable shave!
