    Default Mastri Livi Videos

    I found these on youtube. If this is a repeat post I am sorry. I thought it was cool, but being a newbie I find his technique for sharpening and stropping to be against everything I've read and been taught so far. But I won't argue with him.

    Liked the vids, loved the razors

    I agree! this looks more like a "How Not Too" video than anything else. I am surprised anyone could shave with it when he is done.

    Strops on his hand. That takes some confidence. Not to mention skill.

    The video knocked me for a loop when I saw it too but Mastro Livi is DA BOMB ! He builds some of the most beautiful and effective razors that I have ever had the pleasure of shaving with. He is has gone beyond being an artisan to a great artist IMHO.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Watching him slap the stones and rub the edge of that razor reminded me of watching a martial artist.

    The fast movement with total control at the last possible millisecond.

    His razors are amazing I think.
