My First Mastro Livi

This is my very first Mastro Livi, the one which introduced me into high quality of shaving and made by this incredible Italian craftsman. I bought this razor in April 2013 and, as of today, it never needed any honing, not even a pass on any paste. It shaves like the first time and it amazes me more and more. I have always followed Mastro Livi's wise advises on how to maintain a straight razor, that is his loom strop and hand palm, and it works. This razor is made of Damasteel Blue Tongue pattern - as far as I know, a discontinued pattern - and scales are made of cobalt buckeye burl, a color not available anymore. These two factors make this razor even more special, not to mention the fact it still gives a super smooth and velvety shave, close and impeccable, even though three years have passed since the day I bought it and never honed or refreshed its edge. Simply amazing!

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Cella Shaving Cream
• Brush: Omega Bristle Brush 48
• Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Damasteel Blue Tongue, 7/8 Full Hollow, Livi Snake Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: L'Erbolario Vetiver Hamamelis Aftershave Lotion
