mastro is also a correct wording. It is the naming for a "maestro" who is a specialised craftsman.
Maestro is mostly used for artists (musicians, composers etc.)

I intend to read those threads, because I really like my UF.drmoss_ca wrote:Now I've found the question....

As you will read, it seems that the Spyderco fine and ultrafine hones vary their effective grit by means of the pattern machined into their surface: they have to, being made of the same ceramic. I lapped the UF into something very fine, but I have no way of knowing just how fine a grit it now simulates. My impression is that my 2" stone is finer than my 3" and I am still trying to find by trial and error where they best fit amongst the Shaptons.

I'm happy to hear that. There has always been some mystery for me regarding the occasional razor that just doesn't respond. It seems to be an excellent blade, but it just doesn't get there after a lot more effort than expected. I'm not sure it always has to do with hardness. I force myself to work more on the ones I know to be very hard. Usually, I loose patience with such a mystery razor and put it away for a later day.drmoss_ca wrote:The Livi has continued to improve with nightly touch-ups on the chrome bench hone. It is a wonderful shaver now!

First of all, I have done a lot of experimentation, but as a general proposition, I don't have the patience that chris does, and I follow a much shorter routine to hone and mantain my razors.Padron wrote:Hi Chris and Joe,
I know you have both used 3 line Franz Swaty's a lot in the past.. I have several of these, how do you rate the Spyderco UF compared to the Swaty? I have been on the fence with adding the 304UF to my lineup, but based upon Chris's thoughts I am re-thinking this.
Or even and Escher hone vs the UF? I believe Tim Zowada or Robert Williams stated they thought the UF provided the finest scratch patterns...do you find this to be true in your experience as well?
Thanks!
