Mastro Livi Carbon Steel K720, 7/8 Full Hollow, Square Point

This is the ninth Mastro Livi in my collection. It is an amazing razor: smooth, velvety, giving an impeccable shave. This is the first plain carbon steel razor made by Mastro Livi in my collection and I must say it is a magnificent razor, just like all the other ones I own, of course. Memorable! Now I wish to have more!

Proraso Dopobarba AfterShave Splash

Things are quieting down a bit, and I needed a relaxed, cooling shave. The Aust was chosen again because it was ready to go from Sunday's shave and because it does an exemplary job of clearing whiskers. I was just too drained to do this shave any other way!

Amazing postings by everyone this week ... I'm simply awestruck. I'm finding I have more and more difficulty in my feeble attempts to keep up with you gents!

First i wanted to use a DE for the Shave today but then i thought, a cool Shaving Soap and a cool AS on a hot Day, perfect basic Conditions to give my 1958 Stainless Trud the First Try, the Real T-34 Razor :-)
