ITALY, SOTD "themed week" June 6th - June 12th 2011

[BladeRunner001]

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Razor: 6/8" Maestro Livi, Full Hollow Ground, Round Point (Amboyna Burl scales)
Strop: 40/60 laps (Neil Miller linen / SRD Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Acca Kappa "1869" Shave creme + Acca Kappa "1869" Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Blue AS
Cologne: Acca Kappa "1869" EdC
Results: An all Italian shave today. I don't use this Livi all that often these days

, but she's a great shaver. Refreshed her edge on the Nakayama Asagi last night and she was popping hairs with barely even touching them (phew

!!!...this thing can take a heck of an ultra sharp edge for sure). The Acca Kappa combination is always an ultra luxurious experience I can count on every single time

. Finished things off with a touch of Floid, followed by the AK "1869" EdC...BBS, smooth and sporting a nice big smile on my face

.

Have a MARVELOUS Monday gentlemen

.
