Mastro Livi KamiRazor

Sunday shave is always special because I usually have more time to spend on it, so I can plan it carefully, spending more time choosing a soap, aftershave and the rest. This time I opted for this Mastro Livi KamiRazor in CarboInox and Abalone scales, that is a kamisori blade mounted on scales. It was quite a long time I was not using Valobra soaps: today I saw the jar in which I am keeping it and I thought it was the time. I remembered it is a soap I like and my memories were right. As I was using an Italian soap, the aftershave had to be Italian as well. A glance at the aftershave bottles and I opted for Pino Silvestre, a classic Italian fragrance of old times. It was a very good shave, after all.​


  • Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
  • Soap: Valobra Almond Shave Cream
  • Brush: Mastro Livi Perugia Eco-Silvertip, Bois De Rose Handle, 26mm knot
  • Bowl: Bamboo Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Medium Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox KamiRazor, 13/16 Full Hollow, Snake Point
  • Post-Shave: Alum Block
  • Post-Shave: Argan Olive Oil
  • After Shave: Pino Silvestre
 
Today was the turn of just another fine Italian shaving cream soap:

A mild but close two-pass-plus-clean-up shave. All is well.


Have a great Sunday, gentlemen! :thumbup1:

Route 66 Bourbon Jungle today. 20 seconds to load the Fuller/WD High Mountain. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Perma-Sharp Super in the Slim. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Anucci Sport EdT.

Hey [MENTION=107139]ronweston[/MENTION], I like Black Beard AS with Soap Commander Serenity. Something about the Serenity reminds me a touch of bay rum and I feel like the two of them dovetail somewhat.

Excellent shave today with the Wolfman. Figuring it out finally. Going to stick with it the whole week although the fanatic in me wants to change things up. I need to follow through.

Loading the O-Clone with vintage twins was a struggle (blade loading is the weakness of the O-C) but once set an unexpectedly sublime shave resulted. Actually the first completely irritation free BDBS full beard and head shave in a while (after using mostly DE and AC blades). AOS tallow Sandalwood and the MFF pre shave didn't hurt. Pure Argan after the mango flavored Witch Hazel to top off a great Sunday shave.
