Mastro Livi Razor Club 2017, Again​

Saturday I am going to return this Club Razor 2017 prototype to Mastro Livi after having had the privilege of testing it for about two weeks. By the way: tomorrow will be the last day for ordering this Mastro Livi Club Razor 2017 and after this date there will be no way to order this razor anymore. I have to say this has been a very luxurious and enjoyable testing, the quality of this razor is stellar having a super smooth and cutting edge delivering a superb close shave. I also like the overall balance of the razor, making it very comfortable to use. The look of this Mastro Livi Club Razor 2017 is terrific: the three semi-precious stone inserts make the blade very elegant and exclusive, very classy adding an artistic pleasure to the joy of shaving. The cocobolo scales perfectly match the shiny blade with its majestically mirror finish. Shaving with this prototype Club Razor was really a joy and I cannot wait to have mine. It simply and certainly is yet another fine masterpiece from Mastro Livi, a real master in craftsmanship.​

Pre: Valobra Glicerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Super Badger
Soap: Shaver Heaven Vanilla Oak
Razor: ATT H2
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (2)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
EdC: Musgo Real Spiced Citrus

Another cracking shave with the H2 plate. The Shaver Heaven soap is wonderful - great cushioning and glide, and most importantly for me, plenty of residual slickness. The Vanilla Oak scent is perfect for a Perth autumn evening.
And a finishing splash of Musgo Real Spiced Citrus, inspired by @Digimonkey .
 
Second shave today with the Supply SE,....A bit disappointed tbh,...I need a lot more touch-ups than usual and there are a few areas that I just can't get smooth.
Second use left me quite raw, especially under the chin.
The blade feel is a problem for me atm, I feel the blade cutting, especially ATG but what usually results in a BBS with a DE needs yet another pass with the Supply.
Not ready to give up on it yet, but shaves are not as enjoyable as my DEs.
I'm still blaming my technique, as the Supply shaves beautifully in places, but the BBA Bloody Balm faced its toughest opponent today and only came away with a draw....

Pre: BBA Shave oil
Mervyn's Finest Chubby
OSP Bay Rum

Evening all.
Rather a different shave for me this evening, my son promised me a brush he bought ages ago which never seemed to materialise but finally has. Also finally got around to trying the rapira super Swede steels.
Well, the omega brush appeared rather cheap and nasty with I assume synthetic bristles? Anyway, I really like it! Whipped the tabac into a fantastic slick cream and applied it handsomely.
The rapira also was extremely efficient in the fatip, I had two days growth , so it had something to go at, but I have a brilliantly smooth finish.
One bleeder, but only because I hadn't realised I had a burn on my neck from strimming hog weed yesterday, how I had missed not seeing it heaven only knows.:)
Absolutely delighted with this shave.

@TomG - not entirely sure how I inspired the shave - but I'm very happy to have helped. Cheers - I

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, L'Oreal Pure Power Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Astra SS (#3)
Brush: Maseto 2 Band Finest 24mm
Soap: Cella
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphrey's Witch Hazel
AS: Nivea Originals balm.

Another super smooth and close shave. First use of the Maseto brush and I am very impressed, I reckon it may need some breaking in. It certainly made quick work of creating a great lather I had more than enough for three passes, the only issue was it seemed to want to keep the lather on the brush when lathering on the 2nd and 3rd passes.
