http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...r-you-own.html
and it was easiest sharpening i have done so far. i got amazed how easy was to work on this heavy blade.
Shaved and get great shave but had problem
My problem was i didn't realize i have huge blade on my hand and made a big cut on my chin. oops don't know how happen but it did.
it remembered me old days when i start shaving i was cutting my face all over.
I'd be honored, if i received a cut from that beast...of course, i like biters...lol.Quote:

The Mastro Livi Snake Razor is actually a little over 9/8 and the other Mastro is actually a 12/8 blade. Talk about some cutlery.......
Both were a gas to hone and great shavers. But.....as mentioned, you get these things around the chin and you have to watch your angle like crazy. They really wanna flatten out to 90 degrees........:D
Have fun,

wow
what a razor Lynn
they are wonderful . Are you going to bring at least one to MO meeting? please
At least we could see and touch it,
Thank you for sharing.
Sham, I'm worried about you. First the chin :gaah: next time the throat :eek: Send that razor down here to me and it may save your life. :w :D
12/8??? That's a whole 'lotta Livi!
Better have some postiive jimps to control that much "twist" when you are around the chin and jaw!!
Holy Behemoth Batman! I think my local butcher uses a blade slightly smaller than that Livi to cut porkchops!
Great blade. I'm very impressed that you found it easy to sharpen, experience shows!Quote:

It eventually came out great, well worth it. And the weight adds a nice resistance training element to the morning shave. :)
I looked at that thread and up until now I really didn't think many people could make me jealous of their razors - but a few of you did!

May be (100% i am not sure) you have pressure problems. this blade is so huge you just lay it on hone that is all . choose your motion. i thought this may help.Quote:

These are my largest: Attachment 24856
On the right a Herder 7/8'' and the left one a Kaufmann Tiger 15/16''.
Too large for me to use comfortably. The Herder is probably going to be restored for a giveaway. I can't find info on the Kaufmann and haven't decided what to do with it yet.
