Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori

It is always a great joy to shave with a masterpiece, it adds beauty to a beautiful act like traditional shaving. This Mastro Livi CarboInox kamisori is also a great shaver, giving a deep and close shave, just like any Mastro Livi straight razor. This is the very first CarboInox kamisori ever made by Mastro Livi and I love the stunning combination of shiny stainless steel and the elegant touch of the carbon damascus in the middle. CarboInox is in fact made with the San Mai technique and it is made of three layers of steels, in which Mastro Livi has been successful in combining carbon steel to stainless steel. Amazing shave!

My son Nicolas:

johnnypipe, How do you like the Captains Choice soap? who makes it?

May this week be, above all, pleasant for each of you!

Ralf Aust, Plant(Romania,) Boar from Turkey, Plant.
The day? 35F/2C. The clouds are walking. The Shave? A great blade backed up by a pleasant cast of players. The Romanian creams and splashes are almost unknown over here and should be better available to us. The cream made very smooth water holding lather and took about a minute to soak up a huge amount of water from the shave bowl.
