And that covers exactly why we need to find what works for us, you can use a hanger, but a loom suits you better. I have to say that I have only ever used a hanger, but that's not to say that I won't need to find a different solution one day too.

Gawd, Bladeon, that is one butt-ugly old razor. Sight-unseen. A razor only a mother could love! :D
Still, I understand that Whipped Dog puts on a good edge. THAT is what matters!
Enjoy, strop and shave. The old maker would be proud it is still being used. Nice work! :tu
Ha!! It's pretty to me. I wanted something with character. Larry is offering a great product and service. Actually, the discoloration on the blade looks like it might come off with a little scrubbing and some light sandpaper. Doesn't appear to be pitted very deeply. The edge is keen. Thanks!
Well, if the edge is keen, strop it in your spare time and enjoy! Leave it be!
It's got character! If it didn't, it wouldn't be such a conversation piece. More power to ya bladeon.
This is just one of the many benefits you can get from a Mastro Livi loom strop! Since the day I bought my first Mastro Livi strop (now I have two of them) it is the only strop I use and just dismissed the dozen of hanging strops I was using before that.
As far as I can tell, Mastro Livi loom strop makes a remarkable difference!
I love mine a lot. I wouldn't use anything else. God only knows what I'll do when I need to replace the loom on it. I should but another loom when I have the funds, that way, I'll have it, but as far as it goes now, it'll be a long time before that happens.:rock:
