Getting Ready to Go Back Home
I am ready to go back home and, before leaving, I shaved with this Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14, getting - as usual - the very best shave. Today I also had the time to successfully find a new bottle for my pre-shave oil. It was not easy but, at the end, I managed to get a blue bottle and this is what I wanted for my oil.

SOTD 6-9-15
PRESHAVE: Face wash with soap and warm/hot water
RAZOR: 1956 Gillette Red Tip (B2)
BLADE: Voskhod (3)
STRAIGHT: Red Imp 132
SOAP: Mitchell's Wool Fat

Comments: The shave today was pretty good. I started out with the straight and did the cheeks, jaw line, under the nose, part of the chin area and a little bit on the neck area (the more comfortable areas)! I had to refresh my lather as I must have been going to slow so it was trying to dry out some during the shave with the straight. I refreshed it and used the straight a couple of times in each area listed to get a feel for it and tried to go farther than the last try. I have to admit I did get pretty darn smooth on some of those areas and then finished up with a pass and some touch up with the Red Tip. Soap was great as usual and that is why I decided to use it with this straight try out. Great lather, protection and post feel. No irritation but gotta a weeper by the jawline with the straight but it disappeared just as fast as I seen it show up! I am not sure the Red Imp is actually "shave ready" but I wanted to play with it anyway! Over all I would say I had a DFS, more so with the Straight than the Gillette!
Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!
Thx.
