Mastro Livi Inox, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round Point​

This is the other Mastro Livi straight razor I brought with me in this business trip. This is the second trip in which I am bringing with me two razors in order to make my trip even enjoyable. After all, a Mastro Livi box is big enough to accommodate two relatively small sized razor and I could put both the K720 and this 6/8 Inox. In particular, this is one of the straight razors I ordered to Mastro Livi especially for my trips and I must say I am very happy with it. Smooth yet effective, it has the superb performance of stainless steel combined to the velvety touch of a carbon steel.​

SOTD - Fri
Pre: RazoRock menthol/lime soap
Soap: CRSW Select Vétiver Moderne
Brush: Romera LE horn, 28mm Manchurian
Razor: Ikon DLC Slant w/SE handle
Blade: Wilkinson Sword [NOS UK "Light Brigade"] (5)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Fine "Fresh Vetiver" ASL
First time with this brush and soap. The soap is a very light vetiver, hardly 'smokey' or 'dirty' at all. Paired nicely with the Fine splash.
The brush is massive. Great face feel but I feel the loft could be 1-2mm shorter. This would be awesome for a head-shaver (I'm not) because the bloom is so huge.
 
Superb shave today

Pre: Praileela seaweed face scrub
Soap: sterling sharp dressed man
Brush: Paladin Chief
