Travelling with a Mastro Livi ArtInox

I am enjoying very much this Mastro Livi Artinox I brought with me in this month's trip. The more I use it the more I appreciate its smoothness and shaving performance, giving a close and perfect shave. My skin was absolutely smooth and with no irritation, a velvety caress. Another pleasing touch to this shave has been provided by one of my favorite aftershaves - Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve - one of my favorite fragrances with its leather and spicy touch, it is a long lasting fragrance I really like.

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing Almond Shaving Cream
• Brush: Omega Bristle 89
• Bowl: Chinese Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi ArtInox, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve

Getting Ready to Go Back Home

This month's trip ended and I am ready to go back home. Of course, before leaving, I shaved as usual and now it is the time to packing. In terms of shaving, this month's trip has been amazing and superlative thanks to the latest Mastro Livi ArtInox I added to my collection and that I took with me. It certainly was the best choice, always giving an impeccable and luxurious shave. For this shave I used the well known Omega 48 bristle brush along with Cella almond shaving cream and aftershave lotion, the same Mastro Livi is selling in his website offered with an elegant Grifetto shave set. In this shave I also used a new product a friend gave me: a beard balm made by Orthoestetica which I used as a post shave and proved to be as good as my usual olive oil. Ready to go now!

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Cella Almond Shaving Cream

• Bowl: Chinese Bowl
