Hallo,

this is my first week using a DE razor =)
after years with an electric shaver, i wanna have a change!

my dad gave me the following combo:
- gillette tech
- personna blade
- local shaving soap
- gillette aftershave cool wave

i'm not satisfied at all, therefore i will try to find a new combo =)
 
Welcome to the new week, Gentlemen!

I enjoyed last week's pet theme immensely. It was great to see such important members of your families. This week, the theme is "Giving Thanks". In the States, it is Thanksgiving holiday week, but all of us have plenty to be thankful for. For me, I went with some of my favorite shaving gear, to go along with being thankful for the company of all the members here.

Next week will be an Italian Soaps theme week.

Mastro Livi "100 Layers" Damascus
Yet another perfect shave! Mastro Livi damascus steel is always capable of giving a super smooth and velvety touch, not to mention the deep and impeccable shave. I love this razor for many reasons. The beautiful Mastro Livi carbon Damascus steel, made of 100 layers and with a lovely wood pattern, and its juniper scales with their wonderful aroma. The extra hollow ground is a genuine work of art and talent - completely hand made, of course - making this straight razor sing.​

  • Soap: Vitos Red
  • Brush: Focus 103 Bristle Brush
  • Bowl: Gerby Bowl
  • Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm

Cool & clear this morning, 18ºF/-8ºC and warming to 50ºF/10ºC this afternoon with no breeze to speak of. The Ingram cream is lovely stuff with a nice dose of lanolin to boot. The Wade & Butcher was great too and really seems to be holding it's edge nicely. Just a quick strop and it's feels fantastic. Have a good 'un folks.
