    Traveling with a Mastro Livi RWL34

    This is my first Mastro Livi straight razor made of RWL34 stainless steel, a razor I bought a little more than two years ago. I must say, it was love at first sight with this amazing stainless steel, as I consider it to give a very smooth and deep shave although somewhat agressive, however very performing. I have never honed this razor, not even a simple touch up on chromium oxide, and it still shaves like the first time. When I ordered this razor I asked Mastro Livi if I could make a video of its making and he allowed me to film it. In case you are curious to watch it, below you will find the link to this video. This RWL34 is the straight razor I chose to take with me in this business trip and I am sure it will make a great companion, not to mention the incredible shaves it will give me while I am away from home.

    Thank you.

    The spine does say "Fine India Steel" but the toe does not have a barber's notch. The tang has Wade and Butcher and Sheffield so I assume the piece is pre 1891.

    It is a great shaver.

    Ripped the letters from my keyboard! LOL

    rolodave - Beautiful razor, and unseen by me as well - if you have any pics of the razor elsewhere on the site - could you PM me a link?
