• Shavemac SMF II, Olivewood w/24mm silvertip knot
• QED Casablanca bath soap

I honed up the Mastro Livi for my first shave with it after getting it through a BST deal. It had a good edge already, but I wanted to experiment with my new hones. I used a DMT8EE (8K), Chinese 12K, and Shapton Glass Stones in 16K & 30K. Very nice shave. The razor is light in-hand, but quite well balanced. It's definitely a razor made for using!

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME PIC !!!!!
