Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus. Again.

Mastro Livi Twisted Carbon Damascus, again. The smoothness of this blade is amazing and the feel it gives to the skin is both pleasing and round while delivering a very close shave. As for the shave brush, the Omega Professional 48 is - in my opinion - one of the best bristle brush around with a good compromise between stiffness and softness. The finishing touch was provided by Aqua Velva Ice Blue, a classic and among my favorite ones.​

Old Spice shaving soap (vintage) + Old Spice Original shaving cream
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2/Triad Corinthian

The Old Spice combination made a great superlather once again, and the bowl kept it nice and warm on this rainy morning.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: Gillette NEW LC
Blade: Iridium Super (#8)
Brush: Plisson Pure Badger
Cream: Proraso Blue
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented
AS: Nivea Replenishing Balm

Shave number 8 from the Iridium Super, the shave felt a bit rough compared to previous shaves so the blade may be on its way out, however the end result was perfectly fine and actually less irritation than yesterday. I am planning to keep going with this blade to see how many more shaves I can get out of it.
