It's that case. I think it's a Friodur but without the possibility of put the name Friodur. Friodur is a trademark of Henckels and it refers to the cryotreatment. I think this blade is cryot...

What luck Robert!

My wife is not able to advise me in this issue, and she does not understand how I have more than a soap, more than a brush and more than a SR, if I can only use one at the same time.
Angel

Now, there's a man dedicated to get a good shave, tired or not. I love it when I take extra time to enjoy a good shave too. Beautifully done Birnando. What a lovely setup too.

Couple of new things for me this shave. First up the Merkur Slant. If I couldnt use a straight this would be my next choice hands down.

ROBERT, ALSO GLAD TO HAVE U BACK, CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW TREATS U GOT COMING UP

Congrats on the new slant Matt. They are great versions of a DE. They get the job done very very effectively indeed.

The treats are going to be very interesting. One of them got in today, but will have to wait 'til the other gets in too. besides, I have to run out the door rather early and don't want to rush it with either one ;-)

Jeff Foxworthy needs to use this one:
Ya might be a Redneck if you know what a "dump run" even is...

LMAO Glen...Jeff Foxworthy is truly hilarious. Great shave too. Those Livi "new grinds" can sometimes be touch and go (some reported bad edges/grinds and had to return 'em for an exchange)

You must really like them Antoni. I know your other one and I can't blame you for going for a 3rd.

You somehow need to engage her in that activity. My wife was always kind of interested, but not too deeply. As soon as I got her a Lady Gillette and showed her how to lather (which I still end up doing), she got more into it and she's interested in what I have, what you guys talk about and certainly when I get a Maxterpiece. Her favorites of my collection are the Orange and Green scaled Friodur/Henckels. She would kill me if I ever lost those, LOOOL
