Thread: Loom Strop

I got lucky and bought one off of ebay at a fair price. It is one of Mastro Livi's and it is great. The chrome ox on one side and the most luxurious leather I've seen on the other. Like everything else the Mastro does it is a work of art as much as an object of utility.

I don't know if it matters but in between uses I take the tension off. When I use it I tighten it as tight as I would pull a hanging strop. I really like the way it works.

That Revisor is a good razor. The fellow that runs the company is Thomas something or other. I had some correspondence with him shortly after they got started and he is a very nice fellow.

He told me that he has a group of men in their seventies as the foundation for his razor mfg. They are no doubt breaking in younger fellows if they can find any willing to learn the trade.
