Imperial Extra Hollow Ground/ Omega Boar/ Mitchell's Wool Fat/ Clubman Bay Rum/ Murray and Lanman's Florida Water Cologne/ Firehouse Light


This is just one of those razors. It demands very little maintenance and consistently delivers amazing shaves every time I touch it. Seems like it gets sharper with use.

Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14, 15/16 Full Hollow, Spanish Point

With this unexpected heat we have in Milan in these days, I was thinking about having a refreshing shave and therefore I thought it was the right occasion for using my Thyrrenus after shave. With its refreshing and cooling effect, it worked great and gave me a little relief. This Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14 straight razor was the perfect companion for a magnificent shave, deep and close as usual, always impeccable in giving the best and luxurious shaving experience. And now, I am ready to face the Milanese heat, at least for a little while.

Thank you to @MikekiM for offering to hone this razor for me, after I killed the edge with a stone. It was very sharp, and gave me an almost BBS shave. The spots missed were user error, not the razor. Overall, great shave.

After a few very hectic months adjusting to a new job, it was sublime to finally find the time for a relaxed shave outdoors in the evening sun.
What else to use but my fantastic Katana-steeled Bruno custom straight?
A sublime shave and a fantastic start on the weekend!



Have a wonderful weekend, gents!

@Bjoernar

Glad to see you. Glad the new job is going well.
