Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus Kamisori 5/8, French Point

First shave of 2017 and I thought I should have used my homemade products to start the new year the right way. It was also quite a long time I was not using a kamisori made by Mastro Livi and today I chose the first one he made for me about three years and a half ago. The shave was smooth and comfortable with a very close result, it delivered a super keen shave like the first time. After all, it is a well known fact kamisoris can give a super close shave despite they are harder to use than western style razors, including symmetrical kamisoris. Here in Perugia we have the sun high in the sky but it is however quite cold so I thought the best choice to finish the shave was my Bay Rum aftershave with its warm and spicy notes seemed to be perfect to this great shave. Happy new year to all!
