    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 =)

    I have 7 shavers Mastro and another that will come 'soon. Some are made ​​of stainless steel, and some carbon. They are all amazing but I'll recommend the stainless steel RWL34 'cause it's an invention of the Master who has developed a very sweet and deep and steel that does not rust. If you ask him is his favorite steel. I have 3 in the RWL34, they are fantastic!

    Would you say it was a better blade with the RWL34 than the carbon steel blade he offers ?

    Well, yes. Given how I told you that all types of steel forged and milled from Mastro Livi are really great, for what it is my personal experience RWL 34 steel is perfect. For sweetness, depth 'cut-and post-shaving has no rival. If you then consider that the wire lasts for years and that does not rust, where you can find a better shaver? The last one I got from Mastro Livi and that you can see in the video is a beautiful damask Razorguy carbon. How to shave? Beautifully answer thee, but every time I have to clean it and sprinkle with oil. It also has a cost of more 'higher than the RWL34. These are all elements that must be considered when choosing a work of art like these. Many consider the lower stainless steel for razors and prefer the carbon steel. I say that carbon steel was better when they had not invented the steel. technology advances and today we have the stainless steel: use it!

    In my experience it is always hard to tell whether stainless is better than carbon steel. They are both good and I guess it is also a matter of personal taste and what you want to get from shaving. I love both and this is true for any razor, not just Mastro Livi.

    This is very true, my razor I linked above is a Damascus and I love it and the one I just ordered is also a Damascus. Though I'm already thinking about the next one I'd love a stag scale razor possibly with either a 7/8 or 8/8 razor. Guess I'm just thinking wether I need to spend as much as a Damascus on the next one. I'm tempted with either the steel or carbon we discussed.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but your razor seems to be made from Damasteel, that is a damascus stainless steel. It is not carbon damascus and Mastro Livi makes carbon damascus steel only. Mastro Livi makes razors from stainless damascus steel but he buys it from Damasteel.
