A nice quiet shave finished in the company of SWMBO who came home late after a tiring day full of bad news and needed to shake off some of that. I told her that troubles are like stubble. With every swipe of the blade you wipe them away and flush 'm down the sink. Metaphorically speaking of course. Calmed her down and we had a good sleep. Now back to the daily routine of getting three daughters dressed, fed and ready for school.

Traveling with a Mastro Livi Damasteel Ladder

This time I am traveling with two Mastro Livi straight razor: Grifetto and this Damasteel Ladder. They are both magnificent shavers, I love Grifetto but I admit the pattern of this Damasteel ladder is absolutely fascinating. As for the shave, it shaves absolutely great and I love the feedback Damasteel provides in shaving: it is more aggressive than Grifetto while providing the very same smooth and deep shave. After all, it is a Mastro Livi...
