Mastro Livi CarboInox USA

Mastro Livi CarboInox will never stop amazing and charming me. First of all for the incredible performance in shaving, always giving a super smooth shave with a super cutting edge. Secondly, for the mesmerizing look Mastro Livi gives to his CarboInox blades. This one is a "simple" pattern with carbon steel plaques in the outer layers while the middle cutting layer is made of stainless steel. Then the scales of this beautiful straight razor. They are made of natural buckeye burl with a lovely insert of the USA flag made of coral (red) fossil mammoth ivory (white) and lapis lazuli (blue). A masterpiece or beautiful elegance with a great performance in shaving. When art meets craftsmanship. Excellent job, Mastro Livi!

Crown & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the HFD/TGN Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette “Spoiler” SS in the Maggard V2 OC. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with YSL M7 Oud Absolu EdT.

Old Spice Lime Shave Cream
Old Spice Lime AS

Normally Gillette Techs are too mild for me. However, for some reason this Tech seems to shave more aggressively than others I have tried. I find myself using it more and more. Now that the warmer weather is here I broke out the Old Spice Lime. I love regular OS but I like the Lime version even more.
