My Mastro Livi razor, at last: a wonderful life experience!
Antonello, thank you very much for the latest addition, I do enjoy these videos and appreciate the efforts that you and Mastro Livi put into them. (I believe on my May visit Mastro Livi and you had been working the previous night on a video until 3 am.)
If I may make a request though; could we have a video that concentrates on honing, "manutenzione straordinaria" as Mastro Livi calls it, even though this name suggests that this is not something that should need to be done on a regular basis?
Still, sometimes it needs to be done and there is something about Mastro Livi's edges that I would like to understand better, replicate to the extent possible and that goes beyond the velvety smoothness that Mastro Livi razors are known for: I noticed that his edges are much narrower than what we create on our hones.
Whether one tapes the spine of the razor or not; the geometry of a razor lying flat on a hone determines the geometry of the edge, but there is something about Mastro Livi's edge that appears to defy this.
I am not sure whether Mastro Livi is prepared to demonstrate his technique, as it was not covered in depth in a previous video on the subject of maintenance, but I think we could all benefit from such a video.
