Well grasshopper now you'll get it from the horse's mouth.

I have 2 a TI Damascus and a livi. I'm not sure I would consider the maestro a true damascus, rather a damascus pattern. I know its made from a block of damasteel but to me TI is a true wootz steel made from layers.

Having said that the Livi is an an outstanding shaver. I have about 60 razors in my rotation and nothing outshaves it. There are equals to it but nothing better. The TI is another story. It came to me in abysmal shaving condition and it took many months of honing to get it shave ready. I've had it a couple of years now and it gives a great shave now. But its not in the same class as the Livi. The curious thing about the TI is the more I use it the better it gets. I've probably shaved with it 25 times since the last touchup and instead of getting dull its actually still getting better each time I use it. Tough stuff. The Livi ain't no slouch either. Its racked up many shaves.

So the bottom line is if your considering a Livi, get it you won't be disappointed.
