Ha-ha, haven't checked, but I dressed the wheel quite a few times!
Question about Maestro Livi razors
- Thread starter trick420
- Start date
I believe criticisms to be objective. Owners of high end custom razor expect high end performances. The fact it is artisanal work does not forgive average performances. It's not a decorative object, it's a shaving tool and must shave better than a 200 USD Solingen if it costs 5 times more...
Did I try one ? No, I have never tried one, but Livi's users (Italians and Americans) strongly recommended to stay away from such a razor when I wished to buy a custom.
Is it a reason to condemn Livi's razors ? Certainly not and some fellows out there might be extremely happy with their Livi.
It was Just my (other) 2 cts
Totally. It makes perfect sense that anyone purchasing such a razor is going to expect a perfect shave ready razor that is immaculate upon delivery. They'll probably even expect it to make a cup of coffee and a sandwich for them as well. Completely understandable and I'm not trying to be sarcastic.
Another question, in some of Livi's videos, the client he is making the razors for states that the razors have the typical "Livi sensation" left on the face after shaving. I was wondering if anyone can comment on this "sensation". What is it? Have you experienced it? Is it really a thing?

Ask me about shaving naked!
I know that if you're using a really good straight razor (well tempered and ground) that's really well honed, the shave is impressive and has 'legs' under it, that is, the 5 o'clock shadow comes at about midnight. Other than that - saying he has really good razors that are really well honed - I don't think there is such a thing. Unless he sprinkles them with magical 'Livi dust' on the way out the door.
Cheers, Steve
Livi "sensation," is that the marks his file work leaves on my strop? Or perhaps the effect from a wonky shoulder? Lol
Bill Ellis razors prices are enough to scare me away😀😀
