Can anyone tell me about the mastro livi straights on classicshaving.com. I mean besides there hefty price tag.
+1 Exactly.Horses for courses. You don't buy an artisan razor because of the shave because there are a lot of ebay razors that shave at that level. You buy one of those high-end razors because you like the style and because you can't get one like it anywhere else. (snip) That Silvano steel he's started using recently is really stunning stuff.

I've got a razor from Josh Earl, several Robert Williams, and Bill Ellis's first razor. I've also got a Livi (a 7/8 Takeda with stag scales) that I like quite a bit, and I plan on buying another Livi in the near future.
