After having tried my Mastro Livi "hand forged" straight razor made of K600 carbon steel, I wanted to compare it with the other Mastro Livi I have and made with plain carbon steel, that is K720 carbon steel. They certainly are superlative shavers, altough giving a completely different feel on the skin. They certainly both are super excellent shavers, but I guess I like the K600 better because it seems to provide a softer touch with a more velvety feel. This K720 blade is however an excellent shaver, giving a super smooth shave and, also thanks to my beloved P.160 shaving soap - too bad it is no longer in production - it was capable of gliding on my skin like a feather. I wanted to use this Zenith 506 silvertip badger brush, a good brush however not impressing me that much. The finishing touch has been provided by the luxurious Floïd Blue, also in this case too bad they decided to quit production. Floïd Blue will certainly be missed very much indeed.
