Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori
Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori
It is always a great joy to shave with a masterpiece, it adds beauty to a beautiful act like traditional shaving. This Mastro Livi CarboInox kamisori is also a great shaver, giving a deep and close shave, just like any Mastro Livi straight razor. This is the very first CarboInox kamisori ever made by Mastro Livi and I love the stunning combination of shiny stainless steel and the elegant touch of the carbon damascus in the middle. CarboInox is in fact made with the San Mai technique and it is made of three layers of steels, in which Mastro Livi has been successful in combining carbon steel to stainless steel. Amazing shave!
- Pre-Shave: Roberts Distilled Rose Water
- Soap: Musgo Real Orange Amber
- Brush: My Father's Omega Bristle 47
- Bowl: Gerby Bowl
- Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop and Hand Palm
- Razor: Mastro Livi CarboInox Kamisori
- Post-Shave: Umbrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- After Shave: Myrsol F./Extra
