RWL34? Mastro Livi RWL34 Razor!

RWL34 is a stainless steel which will never stop to amaze me. Certainly one of the finest stainless steels used by Mastro Livi for his world famous straight razors, I am sure Mastro Livi's technique and craftsmanship in working this steel play a fundamental role in the final result. And the result is always a super close and super smooth shave, with a super cutting edge lasting for a very long time. Compared to Grifetto's stainless steel, RWL34 has a more aggressive touch which can deliver a very close shave. Not that Grifetto is not capable of giving a very close shave - indeed, Grifetto is a superb razor - I can however tell the difference. As for the rest, Martin de Candre shave soap is always impeccable and magnificent, proving to be one of the very best shave soaps around, while Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum has a fragrance recalling more pain d'épices than "pure" bay rum, however being a fine aftershave.
  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: Martin de Candre
  • Brush: Omega Professional 10098, 27mm knot
  • Bowl: Chinese Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi RWL34, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point
  • Post-Shave: Alum Block
  • Post-Shave: Argan Oil
  • After Shave: Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
