Thread: Mastro Livi

Wow, wonder how many times he cut himself in his early years. Very cool to watch a master craftsman at work, they make it seem so easy.

Geeze. That's downright creepy! But I suppose his results vindicate his method as he employs it!

Doesn't everyone hone razors that way?

Livi certainly is a master, and I know "different strokes for different blokes," but his honing/stropping just seems volatile. It obviously works, but it really does look like he's going to slash that loom-strop in half every time he wacks the razor down.

Agreed. I've decided to simply use him as an example of the idea that there is no "right way" and there really aren't any "rules". If it works, it works. If it defies logic...try it anyway...on a cheap razor

Is that an translucent Ark he goes to after the coticule?

That's what I was wondering as well. Looks like one.
