I would like this to be another "my Mastro Livi", but, alas, it is not the case. I however thought it would have been nice to show you what will probably be "someone else's Mastro Livi".
This afternoon I passed by and visited Mastro Livi workshop because I wanted to thank him for the straight razor he made last Saturday and to tell him how wonderful it has been shaving with it.
When I arrived there, Mastro Livi was finishing working on the razor he made today and I could not believe what a wonderful razor he had just made. It is a straight razor made from a San Mai Damascus Carbon Steel Mastro personally made this morning.
Mastro Livi told me the middle layer is made of a high carbon steel, whereas side layers are made of iron and nickel and got a beautiful silver color. Unfortunately pictures don't do justice to it, but all I had was my cell phone. I hope you can however appreciate it.
As for the specifications, it is a 15/16 Half Hollow, Spanish Point with Mother of pearl scales and Mastro says it is a razor expressly made for gentlemen having a tough or hard beard. What I can tell it is a breathtaking straight razor and I admit I would have brought it home with me. I have been very tempted!

Like I promised, I am done editing the video in which Mastro Livi makes the RWL-34 razor I ordered to him and of which I talked in some posts published in this thread. If everything is going to be all right, tomorrow the video will be online and available for watching in my YouTube channel.
Stay tuned!The RazorGuy - StraightRazorChannel on Youtube and Google+

Great video. I'm envious of visit the time you watched the master work his magic. If I ever get the chance I will visit Mastro Livi and order one of his masterpieces. Thank you for the video. I will watch it often.

Thanked: 3 Why don't I go right away?
The time now is 20:25. It's raining cats and dogs at Scheveningen. But I'm ready to give my wife a kiss; hang my cases to my BMW 1200K, put on my leathers and ride the night through to Perugia. When I'm on my motorcycle in about fifteen minutes from now, I'll have an espresso tomorrow morning the 7th at 11.20 sulla più bella piazza di Perugia.
Why don't I do this? I might be dead next week!

Very true. That is a good way of looking at it.
