Mastro Livi Damascus "100 Layers", 13/16 Extra Full Hollow, Square Point

It was quite a long time I was not using this Mastro Livi "100 Layers" straight razor. It is an extra full hollow ground razor made of Mastro Livi carbon damascus and certainly one of the best singers I have in my collection. The blade is super thin, giving this razor a beautiful voice. Simply amazing how Mastro Livi can get such a very thin cutting edge and blade by just using his hands and grinding wheels. This razor has juniper scales and with its Mediterranean smell absolutely gives an exclusive touch to the shave. I also used my Mastro Livi "Pennello Italiano" (Italian Brush) a great silvertip badger brush absolutely super performing in mounting soap lather. The finishing touch has been given by Old Spice Original after shave, a classic fragrance with a lovely soothing and cooling effect on the skin.

Sunday:

Normally a day of face rest, but needed a touch-up:

Bestshave Nr. 6 brush
Vermont Country Store Apothecary shaving soap laced w. KMF fragrance free
Bic Sensitive single blade disposable
Target witch hazel

This may have been the third shave with this particular razor, but it got me through the day just fine.
