I am still testing my shaving soap in any possible condition I can. Different brushes, different water hardness and, now, different pre-shave products. While I am using the very same straight razor - the very last Mastro Livi New Grind, the last one of a long and glorious series - this time I used Floïd shave oil instead of my pre-shave oil. The soap seemed to perform excellently and seemed not to be particularly affected by this oil, although I admit my pre-shave oil seems to do a better job on this regard. Shave was impeccable as usual and, of course, thanks to this amazing and unique Mastro Livi straight razor: not just a piece of history, but also an excellent and breathtaking beautiful masterpiece.
