Welcome to the club! Congratulations for your beautiful razor.
I am glad you visited Mastro Livi workshop and met him in person as well as his family. They are nice people for sure and Mastro Livi is always available and kind to anyone.
Your straight razor is absolutely beautiful! Did you order it or bought at the shop?

No I'm from the UK so ordered the razor via email and the mastro livi website.

My compliments for the beautiful razor Sam and welcome to this friendly club. The tang is beautiful with a line that looks like the tail of a dragon or perhaps a lightning strike. It certainly makes it different. The handle will amboina 'I hope that my next Mastro Livi. Also I have known the family of the teacher and it is truly a beautiful family! I think you'll make the huge shaven!

We'll I love the razor so much that I have already ordered my next one =) I very very excited to get it this time I went for a 7/8 snake razor with damascus I will post some pictures when I get it.

I have two of them and also stefanosup has a couple of Mastro Livi loom strops. They are superior strops and work very well. You will love it.

I can confirm what says Razorguy. I have two strops Mastro Livi, a small and a medium. I only use these for all my razors and they are really top quality. They allow you to always get a perfect edge and away for years the use of sharpening stones. In this way the life of the razor is guaranteed for at least 200 years. The strop Mastro Livi is the best investment for the care of razors, the advice to those who absolutely loves these beautiful objects!

Am I right in thinking that the green side is covered with the Mastro livi chromium oxide ? I was planning on ordering some ?

Also would you use the green side before the yellow bare leather ??

Kind regards

Sam

Just read your post bout regarding the loom strop, so the strop comes with the paste included ?

The strop is supplied with enough chrome Mastro Livi. This pasta is one that keeps the razor's edge sharp for many months or even years. The side with the dough should not be used all the time but only every 3 or 4 shaves. The side with the pony skin instead be used before and after every shave. I follow the advice, I shave every day for about 1 year and I have not used the stones for my razors.
sorry for my bad English!

No worries I'm sorry I can only speak English so your doing far better than me. So from what your saying I think the loom strop is supplied with the paste crayon.

This is great news =)

Does anyone know which steel is better between mastros stainless steel and carbon steel blades ?

Thank you all for your help and comments =)
