Thread: Mastro Livi loom Strop

I saw a picture of a 2016 club razor on Instagram yesterday that had been horrendously honed.

I must say it does look terrible. When jamie honed my carbinox and btw jamie is top honer, the bevel was not even due to the the razor. Jamie had chipping issues at the 5 k level and he told me to send it back. I never did as I did,not want the hassle. Mastro makes beautiful looking razors but it does seem there are guys that had problems with shave qaulity and on the other hand lots of guys that have great shaves and no problems.

I agree that my older Livi razors are better then the new ones. The only Livi razor i had to dump was the RWL 34. Terrible shaving razor that would not take an edge. Sent it to 2 of the best honers and they said they had them and also sold them because they wouldn't take an edge.

Yeah I can only agree with everything Gary said about the Livi razor, I can only speak as I find I've seen far to many of these razors with similar issues, the razor Gary sent me the edge just kept crumbling away the steel was obviously not fit for purpose.
