The leather Livi uses on his strops is something to be seen. I don't think I've ever seen leather with such a buttery feel to it ever. Often times I'll use linen and then the kanayama suede and then the leather livi and the result would make Obie cry and his face would say "no more Hollywood for me it's Broadway all the way".
