Thread: 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.

TO ALL OUR VALUED MEMBERS.

This thread has long resided on Straight Razor Place and over the years the staff has discussed it’s propriety on the site many times. It is a unique thread dedicated to one brand of razor and topics very closely related to the brand. Yes, we have threads dedicated to singular products and some dedicated to singular brands but not to this extent.

We have forums in which members can display their razors and discuss them and other members can enjoy looking at them. This is a very important part of our site and is very popular with our members.

I think I can safely say we all love Maestro’s Razors and several of us (myself included) are owners and fans of his works of art.

So now at this point in time The Staff has decided to close this thread so that the site can be more balanced in the manner in which we apply our policies to all members and sponsors.

Let me make it absolutely clear this decision in no way reflects negatively upon the Maestro or his razors and is simply an administrative decision on our part.

We encourage the owners and future owners of Maestro’s Razors to avail themselves of the other forums to discuss and show their treasured razors.

I thank you all for your understanding in this matter.
