I'll keep on using this razor and blade until it starts to pull and tug. The El Druida Cocololo Manchurian is a pleasure to use. It is one of the best brushes in my den. The Reef Point Soap Classic Barbershop performed very well all week.
I'll start tomorrow with some new hardware and software.

Greetings

That super photo makes you think that spring is just around the corner; well at least it is for us in the UK but I strongly suspect you will have to wait quite a bit longer! I know it's all a question of what you are used to but I'm sure that I could no longer cope with your winters.

Regards

Nice Sunday shave, the highland bothy soap has a strong open peat fire scent with the addition of the Aberfeldy scotch malt whisky added into the mix.My DE razors are feeling a bit left out at the moment, it's all down to the SE1 being so god dam good.

HAVE A NICE RELAXING SUNDAY FELLAS

Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Soap: Calani Oriental Plum
Post: Davidoff Cool Water

What a scent on this soap, so sweet and no tobacco that I can tell, smells a bit boozy to me, it's probably the plum notes.

Great shave with the 34C, it certainly has come into it's own lately. Rockwell tomorrow I think.

Mastro Livi ArtInox Stainless Steel Damascus, 8/8 Full Hollow, Snake Point

Yesterday I finally received the phone call I was waiting since a quite long time. Mastro Livi phoned me and said he had finished making my straight razor. You know what happened next: I drove straight to Mastro Livi's laboratory in order to admire and pick up the latest Mastro Livi masterpiece for my collection. This breathtaking straight razor is a Mastro Livi ArtInox Stainless Steel Damascus, that is a damascus completely made of martensitic stainless steels therefore suited for hardening and tempering, perfect for making cutting edges. Mastro Livi calls his totally artisan made stainless damascus steel "ArtInox". I love the pattern: a subtle and elegant stripe pattern changing its aspect according to the reflection of light. Scales are made of stabilized poplar in blue gray color, simply perfect for the blade. Mastro Livi rules and strikes again with this masterpiece second to none. A gorgeous and perfect shave!​
