Traveling with a Snake

In my usual monthly business trip, I decided to take with me a snake. A particular snake. Well, I should better say "the snake". A rare and unique masterpiece by Mastro Livi having the blade made from his well known CarboInox consisting of a stainless steel cutting layer and the outer layers made from Mastro Livi twisted carbon damascus steel. He also inserted in the stainless steel layer some awesome and breathtaking carbon damascus dots, giving the blade an incredible and beautiful "dripping paint" effect. As for the shave, this beautiful straight razor is keen like a snake giving a very close and super smooth shave. The incomparable refreshing and finishing touch of Floïd Blue gave me the most luxurious shave.

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Negozio Leggero Hazelnut and Lavender Shave Cream
• Brush: Omega Brush #10275
• Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: Floïd Blue
