Comments: The GD provided a decent shave as I used it for two passes before going to the Wolfman DC for my cleanup pass. I did end up with two small weepers and some slight irritation. The shave felt pretty good and what I would call a CCS at least. I like this soap! I had no issues with the lather, It gave me plenty of protection or slickness. Shave was pretty good today! I will say that I am not sure I like the GD razor enough though to hang onto to it or keep using it!
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.

It is the beginning of July and I am on the road again. For this trip I decided to bring with me a very rare piece of history about straight razors: the last new grind Mastro Livi razor, the one which ended the glorious era of these worldwide famous Mastro Livi razors and of which I filmed the making. I also brought with me my new shaving soap because I want to test it with different waters and brushes. I want to see whether this shaving soap I made is capable of the amazing performance I had at home. Well, it confirmed all of its amazing qualities and I will continue using it until the end of this trip. And this last Mastro Livi New Grind will certainly be the very best companion I could dream of for this test.

I like this blade. It gets a nice tacky edge to it. I took it straight from the stones to my face, no stropping. The Acca Kappa will be missed when gone. Have a good one.
