Getting Ready to Go Back Home

I am almost ready to go back home and, like every genuine gentleman should do before starting a new journey, I of course shaved with a straight razor and now I am almost ready to travel back home. There I have all of my Mastro Livi straight razors waiting for me and I admit I miss them quite a lot. The razor I brought with me this time is good but not so good, let's say it is an acceptable shaver. That's why I miss so much shaving with a Mastro Livi razor while enjoying its velvety and smooth touch.​

Evening, gents.

Aftershave: Whitewater
Cologne: Fico di Amalfi

Slicker lather with the PPF but I've an inkling that the fragrance is irritating my skin. I also have shave spots - a rare occurrence - at the base of my neck. The Sensor may similarly be at fault. Or, of course, me...
