Mastro Livi Perugia 13.12.14, 15/16 Full Hollow, Spanish Point​

This is a very special Mastro Livi razor. It is a limited edition made by Mastro Livi in occasion of the first meeting held in Perugia on 13 december 2014 and there are just three of them. I am one of the lucky owners and I am very happy I am one of the privileged ones. The blade is made from Inox steel and it is a super performing razor, always giving a very deep and close shave, an absolutely superior shave. The stainless steel Mastro Livi used for this razor - it is the very same he uses for his Grifetto - is amazing: deep and intense like stainless steel, smooth and velvety like a carbon steel.​

An excellent shave this morning.

SOTN:

Rock Face scrub
TOBS Sandalwood cream
Wilkinson Sword brush
Bluebeards Revenge Shavette & Israeli blade
Touched up with the Merkur 39c
Joop balm

Big mistake with the balm. My second shave with the shavette went even better than yesterdays initial use (no irritation whatsoever and only the tiniest of nicks). As soon as I applied the balm, it was like my face was on fire. I've read many reports that shavettes are somewhat unforgiving (probably moreso to beginner users), so will save that balm for another day.
 
Vitos red
Omega boar
Gillette slim
Polsilver SI
Nivea ASB
La Toja aftershave

The vitos really irritated my skin tonight, won't be using that again for a while.
