Sorry if I wasn't clear:

LOL. I am the same way. All hours of the wee morn, watching shaving/honing/stropping vids.
He's something else this guy. Does beautiful work. He looks a little like my first g/f's dad, too!

Antonello, thank you very much for the latest addition, I do enjoy these videos and appreciate the efforts that you and Mastro Livi put into them. (I believe the night before my visit last May, Mastro Livi and you had been working on one of those videos until 3 am.)

If I may make a request though; would you consider producing a video that concentrates on honing or "manutenzione straordinaria" as Mastro Livi calls it, even though this name suggests that this is not something that requires to be done on a regular basis?

Still, sometimes it needs to be done, and there is something about Mastro Livi's edges that I would like to understand better, replicate to the extent a collector can, and that goes beyond the velvety smoothness that Mastro Livi razors are known for: I noticed that his edges are much narrower than what we create on our hones.

Whether one tapes the spine of the razor or not; the geometry of a razor lying flat on a hone normally determines the geometry of the edge, but there is something about Mastro Livi's edge that appears to defy this.

I am not sure whether Mastro Livi is prepared to demonstrate his technique, as it was not covered in depth in a previous video on the subject of maintenance, but I think we could all benefit from such a video.

The video of Livi at the cutlery exposition was fascinating. Livi, two barbers, and even some shaved ham.
