Mastro Livi Damasteel Ladder, 6/8 Full Hollow, French Point​

I ordered my Mastro Livi Club Shave Brush 2016 Edition and, while I am waiting for this exclusive and beautiful brush to be made by Mastro Livi - as well as for all the other members of Google+ Mastro Livi Club - for today's shave I used the very first Mastro Livi shave brush I ordered to him. As for the razor, I opted for a beautiful Damasteel Ladder pattern blade which delivered, as usual, a comfortable and close shave, although somewhat aggressive, something common to all Damasteel blades, as far as I can tell. Satisfactory shave for a smooth BBS, while dreaming of using my Mastro Livi Club Shave Brush 2016 Edition. I can't wait and, of course, I am counting each minute to the day Mastro Livi will give me this exclusive and beautiful shave brush.​

Aside from taunting me with that razor, I just love that brush. What an awesome soap to picture with The Green One. Great pic!

It's also absolutely fine to use a cartridge razor such as a twin blade or Mach3...(Guess what I used last night?);):oops:

Wolfman WR-01 Ti OC with Hempel Ti
Feather
“Los Tres Amigos Dos” CH 2 Synthetic LE
Reef Point Dragon's Blood
Witch Hazel

​

After 21 shaves with the vintage Personna 74 it was nice to load a fresh Feather into the Wolfman. I did notice that while the Feather was sharper it was also more harsh. When using Feathers all the time I do not notice the harshness. The CH2 synthetic whipped up the RP Dragon's Blood into a rich slick lather. I truly enjoy the way this scent fills the room and lingers long after the shave. After 3 passes and some touch ups I managed to catch the baby. I really can't ask for better. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Last minute overnight stay away from home last night, so I tried out a little travel shaving kit I put together recently. I was aiming for being able to have a quick shave in a compact size without skimping on some of my favourites...Proraso green features heavily:)
Pre: shower + Proraso Green pre-shave cream
Shave: Proraso green soap, Edwin Jagger Super Badger travel brush, Mini Gillette Sensor razor
Post: Proraso Green As splash, followed by Proraso Green balm

Here's a pic of the kit I took back home a little earlier:

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 2/1 Finest (20mm/52mm)
Acqua di Parma Colonia soft shaving soap + AdP Colonia shaving cream
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2/Triad Satin Aristocrat
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (1)
Acqua di Genova 1853 aftershave

Another great BBS shave. I love these original Colonia products. And while they are from Emilia-Romagna, a little bit inland, they match very well with the coastal Ligurian Acqua di Genova 1853.
