Thank you Mark...got mine from SRD. But C'mon man...Go ahead, pull the trigger. You know you want to . Type SRD in your browser's address, hit enter, navigate to the Maestro Livi link and hot new grinds and choose the one you want (That Cocobolo one has your name written all over it. You don't believe me? check it out...it says: "reserved for Mark"). In all seriousness, if you can, get one...A Livi should belong in everyone's arsenal of str8s.

I really love this blade...but come to think of it, I feel like a broken record by now ...I love all my blades! They each have their own little personalities of sorts.

Damn! Exactly how long have you been a practicing enabler??? You're quite good at it! LOL!!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Conditioning Smooth Shave Creme

Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill

Razor: 6/8" Dubl Duck "SatinEdge", Hollow, Spike Point

Brush: 22mm Vulfix Best Badger

Überlather: Al Raz Calypso "Da Bomb" Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Trade Winds Shave Soap + Gycerin

Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

Post Shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food

Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Facial Moisturizer

ASB: Al Raz Spicy Orange ASB

Result: After a very nice 6 mile hike/run to my usual spot in the mountains (Zen #1), I came home sore, and treated myself to a nice hot shower and "open pores" (Zen #2). The prep was exceptionally amazing; my facial pores were already open (from the workout and the hot shower) so the lather took on a life of its own with this scenario ...thick, lots and lots of cushion and very moist. My face literally ate it up. Then came the "Pièce de la résistance" - the Duck! These are amazing shavers. This Satin Edge is no exception. It delivered a "smooooooth as a baby's bottom" face for me without so much as a nick or irritation (Zen #3). What a way to start Saturday.

Enjoy a nice relaxing Saturday guys .
