Thread: Sun April 26th - Sat May 02nd

Wonderful test shave of the morning,

Featuring a J. Rodgers rescaled in worked MOP, a french early 1800 Freydier in pined ivory and a frameback Le Grelot.

Travel brush in finest badger 18MM, soap Tcheon Fung Sing Almond, bowl Vicfactory and balm Lift'Argan.



As usual stunned by the efficiency and softness of the frameback razors.. The Freydier was OK too, and the Rodgers (I used during most of the shave) left me a really smooth skin.

Have a nice sunday everyone !

Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point

Just beautiful! This Snake Razor - of which I just published a video about its making - is simply amazing. Impeccably honed by Mastro Livi, it delivers the best shave. Not just an incredible joy to see and to hold in your hands, but also an excellent performer in shaving. For the occasion, I wanted to use my beloved Floïd Blue aftershave, now unfortunately discontinued and this is not a good news.

• Soap: Tabac

• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
