My Very First Mastro Livi More Than Three Years Later

Three years later. More than three years later, to be precise. Today's shave has been done with my very first Mastro Livi straight razor, the one which started my passion for the job, art and talent of this great Italian craftsman and Master. This razor changed forever the way I shave and I see shaving. It made me discover the excellence of shaving and how a real razor should shave, it gave me a new light and vision about shaving and straight razors. In a moment it made me almost forget the rest of my beloved collection - today counting 268 straight razors - because of its superb quality, something so far from every other razor I have ever used in my life. And the good news is this razor shaves like the first day: in more than three years I have never honed or refreshed its edge on pastes, it still has a super cutting edge and shaves like a feather caressing my skin giving a very close and very smooth shave. Simply amazing.

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Dr K Peppermint Shaving Soap
• Brush: Mühle Modern 281 H 23, Fine Badger, Pine - 21 mm - Size M
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Blue Tongue Damasteel, 7/8 Full Hollow, Livi Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Umbria Extravirgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Floïd The Genuine

Thanks for the detailed report on your Mastro Levi razor. I agree, it seems amazing that the edge has held up so well with only stropping to keep it keen.
