My Very First Mastro Livi

In this cold day I wanted to use my very first Mastro Livi straght razor and brush. It is now almost four years I have this straight razor and I am literally amazed by the performance of its shave. In four years I have never honed or refreshed its edge and it still shaves like the first time. I simply used Mastro Livi loom strop and hand palm stropping which are both revealing to be the ultimate "tools" for ordinary maintenance of the edge and forget about hones and stones! Simply amazing! The shave brush is nothing less in terms of quality: a very good handle perfectly fitting my hand and a super silvertip badger with an excellent performance and backbone. As for the rest, my pre-shave oil and shaving soap did the rest to make this shave pleasurable and the touch of Denim White aftershave has been perfect in giving refreshing sensation.
  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: RazorGuy Shaving Soap
  • Brush: Mastro Livi Silvertip Badger, Makassar Ebony Handle, 26mm Knot
  • Bowl: Bamboo 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: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil

Mastro Livi Club 2016

Mastro Livi Club Razor 2016 is simply a breathtaking masterpiece. This special and limited edition was exclusively created for the members of Mastro Livi Club on Google+ and was the result of many polls in which members voted how they wished our club razor should have been. This is the result and I am absolutely mesmerized by its beauty, not to mention by its shaving performance. After all I knew Mastro Livi CarboInox was a superb shaver so I was sure about the result. I also used one of my favorite shaving soaps - Panama 1924 Shaving Soap - which was gorgeously mounted to a super rich lather by this Mastro Livi Badger Brush with the finishing touch of Suavecito Bay Rum. I love genuine Bay Rum scent!
  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: Panama 1924 Shaving Soap
  • Brush: Mastro Livi Badger, Olivo Handle, 22mm Knot
  • Bowl: Gerby Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi Club Razor 2016 CarboInox, 7/8 Full Hollow, Spanish Point
  • Post-Shave: Alum Block
  • Post-Shave: Argan Oil
  • After Shave: Suavecito Bay Rum
