- Mastro Livi 7/8 (ATS-34) w/Olivewood scales
- TM Heirloom Strop #1 in Honey Brown
- Shavemac SMF II, Olivewood w/24mm silvertip knot
- QED Casablanca bath soap
- TSD xCellent superlather
- Will G. patchouli aftershave
- Ralph Lauren Polo Black EdT
I honed up the Mastro Livi for my first shave with it after getting it through a BST deal. It had a good edge already, but I wanted to experiment with my new hones. I used a DMT8EE (8K), Chinese 12K, and Shapton Glass Stones in 16K & 30K. Very nice shave. The razor is light in-hand, but quite well balanced. It's definitely a razor made for using!
