Mastro Livi Grifetto, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point

Ladies and gentlemen, Mastro Livi Grifetto! This is the latest Mastro Livi creation and it is supposed to replace the old "new grind", now discontinued because he finished the blanks for making it. Also this new Grifetto will be made from blanks, just like the "new grind", but in this case blanks are personally made by Mastro Livi. It is however a different razor from the "new grind" as "Grifetto" is made from stainless steel. Not to mention, it shaves wonderfully!

May this week end the fall cleanup and leave you space for a great shave every day! The rest of you may it end the chill!

Joseph Rodgers, Rasage á l'ancienne “Menthe,” Boar brush, Royall Bay Rhum.
The Day? Sunny and mild for this time of year 63f / 18C. Oh, the shave? A pleasant interlude with tried and true equipment. The Soap is a winner with anny brush and th old Sheffield is a great, mellow, shaver. The old BayRhum is a pleasant finish to the pleasure of a good shave.

Be well all of you!

Had a busy weekend lots of chores to get done. Cut the grass, Change oil & filter in Jeep, as well as wash & wax it. Sore all over took a hot tub soak to ease the weary bones, and did a tub shave while I was bobbing in the water.
Results: Well the shave was splendid but I still feel like I fell down a flight of stairs.
Oh to be young and immortal...
