Mastro Livi Club Razor 2016 CarboInox, 7/8 Full Hollow, Spanish Point

The great moment has finally come and I could shave with the long awaited Mastro Livi Club Razor 2016 edition, a magnificent straight razor, a pure and exquisite masterpiece, just another superlative work from Mastro Livi. Yesterday I received a phone call from Mastro Livi and he told me I could go to his laboratory and pick up my club razor. It has been an exciting day, not only for the club razor, but also for the launch of the new Mastro Livi website, completely new and loaded with lots of information about this revered craftsman, in particular the story of his family and his professional career. As for the club razor, it is a superb shaver, giving the usual velvety and close shave a Mastro Livi CarboInox is capable of giving. Superb straight razor, superb shave!

Today's SOTD was marked by a change of razor from the routine. I used the 1951 Gillette Super Speed from yesterday's estate sale loaded with the Gillette Super Stainless Spoiler. The overall shave was very good.
