I think that first shave with a new Palmolive Stick is always a bit scary - that aroma gives Arko a run for it's money and that odd green colour...like some ectoplasm!

Bluebeard's | Stealth Head | GSB | XXX



Today I decided to use the bulldog handle on the stealth slant head. I thought that the extra weight would aid me in decreasing the pressure I thought I was adding to the stealth. The result was a good shave....better than the original handle?? Not sure. I am going to need to use the stealth a few more times before I pass any verdict onto it. Im actually thinking that the GSB is not the right blade for the razor. I think I will try a Voskhod in it next.

Getting ready to go back home​

Simply perfect. Simply superb. The more I use this Mastro Livi straight razor the more I like it. I am about to leave and to go back home, so a good shave is the right thing to do before starting packing. Not to mention how good is this RWL34 steel in shaving: keen, deep and sharp, it gives a super smooth shave. I love this razor!​

Wow, Just WOW! The stealth slant is fantastic. It is much lighter than my iKon DLC slant but heftier than I thought it would be. I assume it is lighter than the original version which some call the paperweight stealth. It is very easy to find the blade angle and maintain the angle as well. It does feel a bit milder than the iKon, yet the resulting shave was equally as close as far as I can tell 2+ hours later. I am hoping it is just a bit milder so that I can use it as a daily shaver. The fit and finish of the razor are simply stunning. The big disclaimer on the website when buying about machine marks etc should just be ignored as this thing is bada$$. I had to use a new GSB, which is my favorite blade, for my inaugural shave. Quite a combo if I do say so myself. Of course these are just my first impressions after my first shave so everything should be taken with a grain of salt. however I have used enough razors now to know that this is a winner.
The XXX and Thayer's Rose may have taken a backseat in this shave but were amazing as usual. The scent of XXX has grown enough on me that I think I may need to order another tub as I can see myself 3017ing it and the Zi'Peppino over the next couple months. The Thayer's Rose is magic for my skin....no idea why it just is. It makes my skin feel better than all of the other Witch Hazel I have(which are also awesome). I highly recommend trying it.

Cheers fellas and SHAVE ON!!!
