Travelling with a Mastro Livi RWL34​

This time I decided to bring with me this Mastro Livi razor and it will keep me company for about 10 days. I am very happy for that, of course, as I guess I took an excellent decision in choosing this travel mate. Moreover, I love the RWL34 touch and its excellent property of holding the edge for a very long time. Always ready for shaving, just a pass on Mastro Livi loom strop and hand palm, and I am ready to have the best shave ever.​

Decided to push the Lab Blue a 5th shave... amazing! Probably could go at least one more but won't push my luck and will load a fresh blade tomorrow.

I was given the Omega brush as a gift, I'm very pleased with it, no break in time needed already very soft.

Great shave overall.

Two Pass - WTG & ATG

What a little beauty this is! It's a Weck, the Bantam model. I think it's a hair shaper and it takes those long Personna spined blades.

Guarded, it feels like the Durham Duplex but not as smooth. It certainly nothing like the face shredder that is the Feather Artist Club, but I did get a good number of weepers which I think was more down to angle and lack of lightness.

Post-shave, they've all gone but I do have a patch of irritation on my neck.

In all, a good shave and a fun first attempt with this device - it is a million miles better than any of those half-DE shavettes, a tonne safer than the Feather but not as safe nor as smooth as the Durham Duplex.

Tabactober! Now there's an idea ...

I do Tabac Friday, religiously, but a month ... well, I could do a month. Actually, I couldn't! I'm all over the place with razors, soaps and smells.

Tabactober! Great idea :D
