Roberto's Robinia - Black Locust Brush

I recently received a nice gift from a member of Mastro Livi Club of Google Plus and the very appreciated gift was a lovely shaving brush he made for me by hand. Roberto - this is the name of the maker - made the handle with Robinia (Black Locust) wood and the loft of the brush is wild badger. The grip is really comfortable and the wild badger loft offers a good performance also thanks to the backbone of the hair. As for the razor, this time I used this gorgeous Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus "100 Layers" with a twisted pattern and an incredible extra full hollow grinding, of course completely handmade by Mastro Livi and just by using his well known wheel grinders. Super smooth and close shave, not to mention a blade capable of singing like a tenor while graciously and smoothly gliding over the skin like a velvety feather with a super keen and cutting edge.

Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
Soap: RazorGuy Shaving Soap
Brush: Roberto's Brush, Wild Badger, Robinia - Black Locust Handle, 24mm Knot
Strop: Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop and Hand Palm
Razor: Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus "100 Layers", 13/16 Extra Hollow, Square Point
Post-Shave: Alum Block
Post-Shave: Umbria Extravirgin Oil
After Shave: RazorGuy Bay Rum

Brush: Semogue 830

Nice shave until I put on the aftershave. I irritated the right side of my neck. Must have been 2 things: Pressure and/or angle was off. But other than that, good shave! Everything else performed excellent! Have a good day!
