This is the sixth photo I have taken in four years, but I want to document what I am doing. Nothing nearly as good as your photos. Remember: 6 photos, 4 years.

Nothing from the Saint Sue Auction; I lost on everything I bid for, but sent my local breast cancer research institute a small check.

BBS late-night shave:

Hot shower, 4711 soap, Earthy Delight herbal shampoo, including whiskers

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli RasoZero Crema Pre-Rasatura pre-shave cream

Vintage brush, purchased in London at Floris, 1971. Ivory handle then, now dark brown. Newly rebadgered by Larry at Whipped Dog, silvertip, 22 x 55 mm

Hand-made Utilemud bowl, 6 in. x 3.5 in., red exterior, gently ribbed lavender interior; from Etsy

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Forte hard shaving soap

Fatboy, Gillette 195 F-4, 3rd quarter, 1960; exact model as my first razor ever, as a 14 year-old

Astra SP 1st shave

Cold rinse

Osma alum block

Cold rinse

4711 cologne, used as a splash

Tcheon Fung Sing Bergamotto Neroli Forte after-shave balm

This is my favorite, desert-island set-up, but I still bounce around with a bunch of colognes, soaps, creams, and ***. My every-day face treat, an almost-empty Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food bottle, lurks behind.

And say "hi" to my deco frog blade bank.

Sorry, non-auction.

Since this week's all Go Go Go, I think this will probably be my setup all week. Keep it simple. Quick face lather, single pass.

I love this razor! The more I use it, the better it is. I am sure Grifetto will soon become the worth successor of the New Grind, although this one is made from stainless steel and blanks are personally made by Mastro Livi. Nothing in common with the New Grind razor, they however share the very same quality in shaving and comfort. Velvety, smooth and keen, you can tell it is a Mastro Livi!​


  • Pre-Shave: Proraso Green Pre-shave Cream
  • Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing Red Tub
  • Brush: Omega Bristle Brush 10275
  • Bowl: Chinese Cheap Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
  • Razor: Mastro Livi Grifetto, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point
  • Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • After Shave: RazorGuy Bay Rum Aftershave
