A quick shave showed the blade to be very much "shave ready"! I will give it a better workout over the weekend, but it is a great blade!

Olive wood, as usual for standard Grifetto.

Since I took a SotD pick, figured I would share it here since I hadnt posted a pic of my Livi yet!
I love my shorty razors, and shave with nothing but shorties... but this is by far the shortest in my collection at under 2"!

Any idea what the scales are made of? I wrote to Livi to ask, but never heard back from him.

I guess it could be cow horn but I am not completely sure about it. Originally Posted by Aldwyn

Like I promised, I wanted to try honing myself a Mastro Livi RWL34 straight razor in order to see how difficult it could be. For those who are interested in this, I posted a write up here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ml#post1560593

I took my new Naniwa superstone 12000 and my Suehiro Gokumyo 20000 and used them on my RWL34 razor. I just had it honed and it was really sharp but it still didn't feel smooth. I used 7 x laps on the Naniwa and 10 x laps on the Suehiro and finished with 10-15 strops on my horsehide modular paddle strop and shaved with it. WOW is it smooth! Seems the blade really takes to those 2 stones. I had used Shaptons with limited success prior to sending it out. When it was sent out I am pretty sure it was honed with gnats. Passed the HHT but still didn't shave as smooth as my other Livi. Now perfection.
