Ah yeah, the Shea Butter. Celestino, I must have seen over a hundred of your posts and it only hit me last weekend, when we visited a department store that I have dry skin often and the girl offered me some Shea Butter and I instantly knew this was what I needed. I'd tried Razorguy's olive oil, (Toscan, not Umbrian) and though nice, found it a bit too fatty. Shea Butter though, it's great. I'll be using this more often.

Sorry for rambling on gentlemen. Perhaps, this thread is not the place, but this shave was special for me and I felt human and vulnerable enough to share.

Cheers,
Herman

Herman, great story, my friend, congratulations on the new blade and I am very glad that you are enjoying the shea butter! It is amazing and it does wonders for your skin and it will keep you looking younger!

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

This is the other Mastro Livi straight razor I brought with me in this business trip. This is the second trip in which I am bringing with me two razors in order to make my trip even enjoyable. After all, a Mastro Livi box is big enough to accommodate two relatively small sized razor and I could put both the K720 and this 6/8 Inox. In particular, this is one of the straight razors I ordered to Mastro Livi especially for my trips and I must say I am very happy with it. Smooth yet effective, it has the superb performance of stainless steel combined to the velvety touch of a carbon steel.
