Thread: My Mastro Livi razor, at last: a wonderful life experience!

That's the thing about mastro livi razors they have what I would call Invisable tiny even bevels, which proves even the grind is,. the one thing I leant from mastro is not to use a 1 k hone if possible , I rarely go lower than 3 k hone, this is what mastro livi highly recommends.

I agree as far as setting bevel is concerned, but when the task at hand is removing material to eliminate a nick in the edge, a 1000 grit hone does have its uses.

Please could you explain the benefits of using the 3000 grit for bevel setting?

Mastro Livi recommends not to use a 1000 grit stone for setting bevels and (if I remember correctly) uses himself a 3000 grit stone for this task.

It is my understanding that coarser stones increase the risk of microchipping the edge.
