Good morning friends. The FatBoy on a setting of 9 with a Ladas provided a blissfully close smooth shave today. First shave with a PAA soap and this one is CiderHouse 5, graciously PIF'ed by a friend. It's such a wonderful soap i can't begin to explain what an easy yogurty, slick, beautifully scented lather this whipped into face lathered.View attachment 18319 To me it smells a bit like pumpkin and gingerbread oh, how lovely!View attachment 18320 Glacial Lemon Chill balm provided that icy finish i crave for a wonderful start to the day. Have a great shave and a great day folks. :)

Also one exciting bit of news..I shaved with Maca root cream... AND .... I ate some Maca root on my Porridge/Oatmeal this morning.:eek: In powdered form. Tastes quite weird.
But it's good for you so hopefully I will get eye lasers or be able to fly pretty soon.:D

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.​
