Here we go! I guess we will be seeing so many English style shaves in the next weeks...
By the way, I read the news and they say in London they are complaining about having run out of stock because of a suspicious Italian subject who has burgled their shops....

Sunday 31st August 2014

PreShave : A&S Shea Butter Beurre De Karite and hot towel
Soap: Proraso Cream/ Omega Soap (Nice Combo)
Brush: Semogue 620
Razor: CJB Customs Handle
Blade: Feather Pro
Post Shave: Allume Di Rocca Naturale
Post Shave 2: I Coloniali Facial and Aftershave Balm
Finish: Floid Blue

My last few shaves have been a real joy using the Feather Artist and the CJB. I am able to get a CCS most of the time and mostly nik free, and even a BBS on occasion. It has been a long learning curve and still some way to go but worth the effort and blood loss. Have a great week.

Mastro Livi "The Last New Grind", 6/8 Half Hollow, Round Point

Today shave is dedicated to the endless talent of Mastro Livi and his art. Brush, strop and razor are all made by Mastro Livi and, by the way, the straight razor is very special. Not only for being a superb shaver, but also for the fact this is the very last new grind ever made by Mastro Livi, the one ending the glorious story of those seventy years old blades and brought to life by Mastro Livi. This is the razor I filmed in the video I made in which Mastro Livi tells the story of these blades and razor. By the way, the shave was superb, the brush super soft and pleasing, the lavender smell of Weleda soap was simply a lovely touch to this amazing shave.
