    Thank you very much! You are flattering me as I know for sure here in SRP there are so many fine gentlemen and I can tell you certainly are one of them! (here, as I am Italian, I wish SRP had an emoticon about wine.... )

    This is true and as always, razorguy, I'm very grateful for your kind offers!

    I always say stuff that then gets sidelined but at some point I would like to visit -- I also have a friend up near Pavia and it'd be good to see Italy properly.

    Default My Next Mastro Livi Damascus Steel Straight Razor: Day #3

    The great day has finally come! Today Mastro Livi finished making my new razor and it looks simply amazing, fantastic and wonderful! The day started by finishing the grinding of the blade, five in total. The result, you will see, is an extra hollow ground razor. It is absolutely amazing how Mastro Livi can achieve such grinding just by using his hands! Just a grinding wheels and his talent. And, by the way, endless talent, art and craftsmanship! To me it is unbelievable how he can possibly do that with just his hands, but he does!

    Razor test #1: hanging hair effortlessly cut by the razor


    Name: ML-Damasco-14.jpg Views: 351 Size: 42.5 KB

    Razor test #2: Mastro Livi personally testing the razor by shaving. No soap at all, just a wet face in order to have tougher whiskers.


    Name: ML-Damasco-15.jpg Views: 339 Size: 33.8 KB

    It seems this razor is very keen and very sharp!


    Name: ML-Damasco-16.jpg Views: 330 Size: 78.5 KB

    The razor passed all tests and meets Mastro Livi quality standards. This razor deserves Mastro Livi signature.
