    Love the yellow

    This thing is huge. I am surprised to see the width too. I guess the Mastro doesn't like to X?

    Cheers

    Default Why yellow...

    The yellow is due to the cadmium used in the tannery to treat the leather, mastro Livi choosed his hides from a local tannery, he says it's getting pretty difficult finding the right leather for the strop.

    Not hard to imagine as the use of cadmium (being very toxic) is being restricted more and more in the EU.
