-- Monday, June 1--

Prep: Face wash with bath soap and water
Razor: Frankenrazor made with Hallmark top plate, FaTip base plate and Ikon Bulldog handle
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Semogue Barbear Classico Cerda LE (#67/100)
Soap: Mike's Natural Soaps Barbershop
Bowl: GP 12 Scuttle
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel

Image

Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Wonderful shave. I love when the BC Cerda comes up in rotation. It is such an awesome boar brush. Most of my rotation is Semogue mixed hair brushes and I am having hard time inserting others in the modest rotation of 4. Cerda has a solid spot there, however.

Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14, 15/16 Full Hollow, Spanish Point

This is a very special Mastro Livi razor. It is a limited edition made by Mastro Livi in occasion of the first meeting held in Perugia on 13 december 2014 and there are just three of them. I am one of the lucky owners and I am very happy I am one of the privileged ones. The blade is made from Inox steel and it is a super performing razor, always giving a very deep and close shave, an absolutely superior shave. The stainless steel Mastro Livi used for this razor - it is the very same he uses for his Grifetto - is amazing: deep and intense like stainless steel, smooth and velvety like a carbon steel.
  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: Cella
  • Brush: Omega Bristle 10275
  • Bowl: Chinese Cheap Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14, 15/16 Full Hollow, Spanish Point
  • Post-Shave: Alum Block
  • Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
  • After Shave: Floïd The Genuine
