Mastro Livi CarboInox KamiRazor​

What a smooth shave! Yesterday I went to Mastro Livi's workshop and he made this magnificent straight razor for me of which I am very proud of. It is made of CarboInox - the artisan damascus steel Mastro Livi conceived by using both carbon and martensitic stainless steel - and for which I conceived the name: KamiRazor. It basically is a kamisori blade to which has been mounted "western style" scales in order to protect the edge and make it safer to handle when closed. This is the third name I suggested Mastro Livi for his works - Grifetto, CarboInox and now KamiRazor - and I am very proud of this. This KamiRazor has abalone scales with coral and white mother of pearl inserts having the color of Perugia, my beloved city where I was born. As for the rest, my shaving soap proved to be, once again, a super performing soap, absolutely velvety and giving a super luxurious lather. Superb top notch shave!​

Palmolive Classic Cream
Imcdn handmade boar brush
Gillette After Shave Balm
Old Spice After Shave & Cologne
I used the Flare Tip, Palmolive and the Boar Brush in memory of my father who has been gone for some time. A flare tip of my father's was the razor that I learned how to shave with, and I remember him using Palmolive cream and a brush for lather. I know he used Old Spice, as I have gifted him some for Father's Day or Christmas.
RIP POP, and thank you for being the man that you were and for teaching us how to be loving father's and gentlemen.
An excellent shave today with the Palmolive. This is a great cream with excellent slickness, cushion and a nice minty scent with a mild menthol feel. The English Rocket flare tip loaded with a made in England Wilkinson blade wiped the face clean of facial hair and left me BBS and swimming with Dolphins. The Old Spice leaves me refreshed and smelling great and being reminded of my father for the rest of the day. Have a blessed day Gentlemen.
