Mastro Livi Inox Extra Full Hollow

I love the smell of juniper wood. Not only it has a lovely Mediterranean scent, it also has a beautiful texture I truly like. That's why today I used this Mastro Livi shave brush, having a handle in juniper wood, because I wanted to smell that fragrance. Not to mention the fact the loft of this brush has a magnificent performance: a two band silver wild badger providing a good backbone while giving a lovely caress on the skin. A perfect combination with the amazing P.160 shaving cream with a luxurious wealth of soft and moisturizing lather. As for the straight razor, I used this Mastro Livi Inox Extra Full Hollow, a straight razor with a stainless steel blade delivering a super smooth and close shave. Floïd Blue provided the finishing touch - in my opinion one of the very best aftershaves around - for a super satisfying and velvety smooth shave.

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Weber ARC
Blade – Astra S/P
Brush - 'The Duke' (Duke 3 Best)
Soap – Stirling - Texas on Fire
Post - Witch Hazel, Trevarno Revitalising Face Oil
Fragrance of the Day - Amouage Tribute Attar

There is a reason why the Weber has a cult following, and with the Astra S/P, gave a sublime, 2 pass shave. Whilst the Texas on Fire was superb in every way...I really dig those smoky scents, so much so, that I decided to wear my Tribute attar.. yep, the original one, in the reddy/brown box... hohoho, merry Xmas y'all..
