    Sent my new addition Mastro Livi out to Alfredo for a refresh. Couldn't get the blade to cut the way it should. Just got it back and it shaves smooth as glass. Nothing like a finely honed Mastro Livi in the morning. Curious. The RW34 steel in this razor seems to be firmer then my other Livi's. The extra hollow shave well with a different feel and this one seems to shave like a half hollow. Anyone else have this results. It feels and shave great just very different. Actually I like it shaving against the grain.

    I too like shaving against the grain and I find RWL34 very effective on this regard. Having shaved with quite a lot of steels used by Mastro Livi, I guess each of them performs differently and gives a different result, although all of them impeccable.
    In my opinion, RWL34 seems to be a little more aggressive than the stainless steel used for Grifetto and it certainly remains one of my favorite stainless steels.

    Grifetto is simply amazing and I am very proud for having suggested this name, along with stefanosup, to Mastro Livi! It is a remarkable straight razor!
