My first razor, many years ago, was a Type L Injector. It feels strange to me now, having become so DE-oriented, but I'm going to give it some time to see if I can become more comfortable with it.
This is my very first Mastro Livi straight razor, the one which started my passion for his razors, his art and talent. It also gave me the chance to know a remarkable and genuine man. I bought this razor in April 2013 and it is still shaving like the first time. I have never honed it or used any chromium oxide, I just stropped it on a Mastro Livi loom strop and hand palm. In this sense, I strictly followed Mastro Livi's advices. The edge is still very keen and sharp: after all of this time, this magnificent straight razor still passes HHT with no effort and gives a superb, impeccable shave. Amazing!
