Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori, 7/8

Today I used this synthetic brush I restored last week by mounting this loft on a wood handle, therefore giving this nice synthetic loft a new life. I am happy with the result and I am glad I could restore it. In this shave I used my Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori giving an impeccable and very smooth shave as usual. Not only a beautiful work of art, but also a wonderful masterpiece with charming shading colors. Today I also felt using one of my favorite aftershaves - Floïd Blue - and it is a pity Colomer decided to discontinue this excellent product. By reading how many fellows wet shavers love this product, I cannot really understand why they are not making it anymore.​
