Traveling with Mastro Livi Grifone

On the road again. This time I brought with me my newest Mastro Livi Grifone and it will keep me company for this whole week. I am sure it will give me excellent shaves, like the one it gave me this morning. The more I use the "Grifetto steel", the more I like it. Smooth and comfortable shave, aggressive yet velvety, magnificent inox steel for a superb shave.
  • Pre-Shave: Proraso Green Cream
  • Soap: Tea Natura Eucalyptus Shaving Cream
  • Brush: Mühle Travel 31 M 530 Silvertip Fibre, 21 mm knot
  • Bowl: Chinese Cheap Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi Inox "Grifone", 9/8 Full Hollow, Livi Snake Point
  • Post-Shave: Argan Oil
  • After Shave: Floïd The Genuine

Tim, before you decide to sell the XL, let me borrow it for a quick shave or two, would ya? :lol:
Seriously, I've never read a bad review of the Jagger. Gents may still prefer their badgers, but everyone seems to think this synthetic is tops in that category.
