Stirling Spice
This was my first use of Stirling soap in over 2 years. What a difference! The soap lathered easily into slick goodness and provided a very nice post shave feel. The scent is a pleasing rendition of shulton old spice, so I followed it with B&M Reserve Spice, which matches up very nicely. I added Gondolier balm for a bit more moisture and scent. Excellent shave all around.

Mastro Livi K720, 7/8 Full Hollow, Square Point

Sunny day here in Umbria, it is cold, of course - it is winter after all - and I wanted to shave with a razor having a pretty "warm" and round touch on the skin. So I opted for a Mastro Livi carbon steel razor and I chose this K720 blade with boxwood scales with chequered inserts. The more I use Mastro Livi synthetic brushes the more I think they are among the very best synthetic ones I have ever used. They have the right smoothness yet having a proper backbone for a beautiful feedback on the skin, mounting lather to perfection. As for the soap, Martin De Candre is always a very good choice, not to mention the Fougère fragrance which smells absolutely great, lovely and balanced. Myrsol F./Extra aftershave provided the finishing touch to this absolutely BBS shave.
