RazorGuy Shave!

This Sunday I felt like shaving with the homemade shaving products I make - therefore they are not for sale - so I used my pre-shave oil, shaving soap and Bay Rum aftershave. As for the aftershave I opted for my new Bay Rum, although there is also another one I call "Thyrrenus" - because of the noble Etruscan people who lived in Perugia, my city, 3000 years ago - but I like using this one in summertime because it has a more refreshing and cooling effect. As for the razor, I opted for this Mastro Livi RWL34 and I must say I like this stainless steel very much, always giving a very close shave - somewhat aggressive - but absolutely super smooth. I also have to say, the more I use my shaving soap the more I like it. Its post shave effect and feeling on the skin is absolutely superb!​

I had my best shave to date with the MMOC. After seeing the shipper with a Micro Matic Bullet Tip and how one is to keep the "seeing eye" flat on your face, I made sure the cap was flat on my face. I have been not using this razor very much, as I usually suffer from some irritation after my shave. I have finally tamed the MMOC.
