Traveling with my First Mastro Livi

This is my very first Mastro Livi straight razor, the one which started my passion for his razors, his art and talent. It also gave me the chance to know a remarkable and genuine man. I bought this razor in April 2013 and it is still shaving like the first time. I have never honed it or used any chromium oxide, I just stropped it on a Mastro Livi loom strop and hand palm. In this sense, I strictly followed Mastro Livi's advices. The edge is still very keen and sharp: after all of this time, this magnificent straight razor still passes HHT with no effort and gives a superb, impeccable shave. Amazing!

• Pre-shave: Proraso Green Pre-Shave Cream
• Soap: Aquagena Shaving Soap
• Brush: Omega Bristle Brush 83
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm Stropping
• Razor: Mastro Livi Damasteel, 7/8 Full Hollow, Mastro Livi Snake Point
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extravirgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Floïd Blue After Shave

Prep: Shower
Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington
Brush: Thater
Razor: Gillette "Fatboy" w/Astra blade
Post: Alum, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: Nivea Sensitive
Photo: Recycled. Sorry about that.



I forgot that this was a fresh blade and was a little too aggressive around the Adams Apple. Otherwise a very smooth shave.

Happy “Over the Hump Day” May the rest of your week feel like a vacation!

Schick E-2, Glycerin soap, Fuller “Nylon,”Granny juice.

The Day? Cool and overcast, so far 56F /13C. The Shave? The little Schick injector is a winner in this back to the 50's shave. The 'nylon” brush was among the first of the synthetics and the bristles would benefit a shoe brush. The shave, though, was a winner in one and a touchup.
