A great outdoorsy scent from the Proraso. It was the first time I used this featherweight, and the shave was excellent. The Featherwieght was the first SE razor I used thanks to Luc and his Canadian pass-a-round to try a SE for the first time. I now have a dozen Gem's, and I like them all. ​

Well, I guess it doesn't. The head just looked beefier than mine, but I suppose it's just the angle. Mine doesn't get near as much use as it should.

SaTURDay's SOTD:

Soap - Proraso Red
Alum - Razorock
Aftershave - Clubman

As you can see, the outdoors are... Outside because it's snowy and cold here!

Mastro Livi Inox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point​

This is the latest razor I ordered to Mastro Livi and this is going to be added to the ones I will bring with me on my business trips. Very simple, yet effective, it is a 6/8 with a round point, made from the very same stainless steel used for Grifetto, it in fact has the "Inox" mark handwritten by Mastro Livi. Just like every other straight razor made by Mastro Livi and using this stainless steel, it gives a lovely and smooth shave, something I would consider in-between carbon steel and RWL-34. Of course, this is the razor i am going to bring with me on my next business trip!​

• Pre-Shave: Myrsol Emulsión
• Soap: Tabac Shaving Cream
• Brush: Frank Shaving Synthetic - 22mm
• Bowl: Gerby Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
• Razor: Mastro Livi Inox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
• Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• After Shave: Mennen Skin Bracer

maybe kent barrel, never ready 1924, rite-aid gem of a blade, martin de candre, myrsol or maybe not.
the choices are not predestined. the image involves quantum mechanical prestidigitation. don't trust pictures. the atoms might not be where you expect and merely looking them can influence whether that damned dress is white & gold or black & blue. me-not-a-meme.

Some day, I'd like to see a wider shot of that cabinet in the background. Your pics are always sharp, and that background ads an interesting element to it.

Will do!

3/1/15 Head SOTD

Top picture is from church last night. We had a celebration for the volunteers. As a symbol of being a light in the darkness, we released a few hundred baloons with glow sticks on them. It was pretty windy so it was fun to watch.

Thank You Celestino * Dave * WiteQ!
They are forecasting up to almost 10 below zero this week, maybe I'll get out there yet!
