Ever-Ready 1924 Single Edge w/Matador S2 handle
Gem Stainless Steel PTFE single edge blade (4)
The Grooming Co. Synthetic brush
Arko
Osage Rub


First shave ever with Arco - Great thick slick lather, and the scent is actually much more pungent (lemon Pledge?) when sniffing the puck than when building a lather in the lather bowl.

I don't normally use Osage Rub in the middle of March, but it's 88 degrees here in San Diego today!

Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus Kamisori 5/8, French Point

I have always had a passion for Japanese kamisori and I have some of them in my collection. The same passion is for this stunning Mastro Livi kamisori, made of Mastro's carbon damascus steel, with a simple yet very elegant pattern. Not to mention the joy of shaving with Mastro Livi brush, an excellent silvertip badger with a large handle perfectly fitting my hand. Add to this the magnificence of a super performing shaving soap like Martin De Candre and the finishing touch of Floid Black, what I got is a a superb shave.​
