Still on vacation and still enjoying shaving with the two Mastro Livi razors I recently added to my collection. Today was the turn of this breathtaking CarboInox razor with a stripe pattern and the Italian flag inserted on the scales. An absolutely stunning masterpiece, an incredible CarboInox made by joining carbon steel and martensitic stainless steel together, created by the genius and talent of Mastro Livi. Not to mention the impeccable excellence in shaving with a super smooth edge honed to perfection by Mastro Livi. A superb, super smooth, close and velvety shave, a feather caressing the skin. For this shave I also used Tcheon Fung Sing Barbe Rosse shaving cream, with a lovely almond scent, it is a soap with a good performance, not to mention a very cheap price, a classic Italian soap you cannot be wrong in buying it. Mennen Skin Bracer is the after shave I like using in summer because of the pleasing cooling effect provided by menthol, very refreshing with a lovely fragrance.

For Sunday morning's shave, the first batch of my homemade shaving soap with Cedarwood fragrance (11Nov13) did an admirable job without any burning or any other unexpected details. It's a nice soap. The Brazilian Platinum Plus and the Darwin are a great combo. No nicks or cuts. Smooth results. Tomorrow I'll use the Lime variety to see if it yields the same great results.
