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

Yet another impeccable shave with Mastro Livi Grifetto. I absolutely love this straight razor, easy to use and giving a super smooth shave. I also love the scales of Grifetto, made from olive wood, directly recalling the lovely view you have here in Umbria, where hills are full of olive trees: definitely an Umbrian wood! This Mastro Livi Grifetto steel is velvety yet very effective, giving a deep and smooth shave, a straight razor I am certainly suggesting to everyone who wants to get into the wonderful world of wet shaving with a straight razor.

Hello Tab,

All of the items used in today's shave combine for a sweet shave. The C-Mon, a gift from a dear friend, is one of my top shavers. The Thater silvertips offer medium backbone, good flow-through and silky soft tips. I have three two-bands and this one, a three band, and love them all. Santa Maria Novela is one of my top five creams, and it does wonders for the skin. Institute Karite balm, heavy with shea butter, pampers the skin, as well. The Woods of Windsor aftershave is discontinued and almost impossible to find. This is my last bottle and I savor it. That along with Truefitt & Hill's Spanish Leather are my favorite scents. All good stuff.
