SOTD, Saturday afternoon, September 13th, 2014

Prep with Clearly Natural glycerine soap face lather and rinse
PannaCrema Lavandotto lavender shave croap
Rooney beehive badger brush
Revisor 6/8" straight razor
Cool washcloth rinse
Trumper's Skye aftershave splash

Second day using Skye. It's pretty nice, IMO.
Totally old-school, old man, powdery and barber-shoppy.
Tries to be modern, but totally fails.
Fits me to a T!
So, I like it!

Cella Colonia Classica, used as a splash
QCS Rose Otto Post-shave Balm

Not the greatest shave. First pass very tuggy and rough. * between passes, I applied a few drops of sweet almond oil, trying to get some glide or cushion. My lather was no good, not slick and no cushion. I really need to step up my lathering for QCS products. 2nd pass and clean-up OK. Cella cologne amazing.

Mastro Livi Damasteel Kamisori​

The pleasure of shaving with this Mastro Livi kamisori is always immense. It is also true I like Damasteel very much, not only for the beautiful patterns they make, but also for the deep and efficient shave it can give. As a matter of fact, all of the Mastro Livi straight razors I have made from Damasteel give a very deep shave and maybe this kamisori is the one giving the deepest of them all. I also love the handle: the beautiful bluish patterns and shades of the abalone are absolutely charming and enchanting to see, moreover, being that big, it improves the grip quite a lot. Magnificent shaver, excellent result!​

• Pre-Shave: Myrsol Emulsión
• Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing Blue Tub
• Brush: Mastro Livi Silvertip Badger Brush - 26mm knot
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm Stropping
• Razor: Mastro Livi Kamisori, 13/16 French Point, Hakapella Damasteel, Abalone Handle
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Myrsol Agua de Limón
