Thread: Mastro Livi's strops and how to use them

What's the best way to clean the linen - chromium oxide side of the Livi loom strop? Wish he came out with a video on that side of the loom strop.

I just stropped 6 razors on my new loom strop. 2 Austs, a Mastro Livi, Vintage Puma, DD and Genco. I am amazed at the edge the chromium oxide side puts on the razors. Its incredibly sharp but shaves very smooth. I can see using this instead of refreshing with all my stones and strops. Using his recommended maintenance I bet you can go years without a major refresh. I would love to visit Mastro Livi and watch first hand his making of a razor. I would really like him to show me in person the way he strops his razors. I have 4 with another ordered and they come ready to shave. They also hold an edge really well providing I don't screw them up. When we talk about BBS shaves, I would use that to describe the skin he uses on the other side of the strop.

Just used lighter fluid on a lint free cloth and it worked great. Let it try for a couple of hours and your set to go.
