It passed too much time since I last made a shaving soap. Simply too much time and I regret that. Yesterday I took my pots and scales back to work and made a new shaving soap. I modified and improved a very old recipe of mine - in my opinion, the best I ever made at those times - and the result amazed me immensely. The soap performs the way I wanted it to be: creamy, thick, velvety, with a moisturizing effect on the skin, last but not the least, easing the razor's sliding on the skin. I am very happy with the soap I made and, although I am thinking about changing something in the recipe and making technique, I got an incredible smooth and comfortable shave. For the occasion - and this was a special occasion - I wanted to use the very best, the most beautiful and exclusive razor I have in my collection: Mastro Livi CarboInox Snake Razor and I guess I could not make a better choice. An incredible razor, giving the very best shave and, by the way, a great soap supported by my pre-shave oil and my Thyrrenus after shave. A superb RazorGuy shave!
