I own or owned Boker, Aust's, dove's, Genco's, Ontario's and Mastro Livi's. They ranged from 4/8 to my new 7/8 Mastro Livi. I always wanted a custom razor in 7/8 and when I got my Mastro Livi with Deer Antler scales it really looked big. Like Murray Carter shaving with a kitchen knife. When I opened the box and picked it up it was really heavy compared to all the other razors. When I shaved with it the shave was smooth with no irritation but I did manage to nick my ear lobe. Wasn't ready for the larger blade. Now that I have about 4 weeks using it I really like it. Seems the size and weight really keep the razor on my face with no added pressure. Anyone else using larger straights?Name: IMG_0167.jpg Views: 354 Size: 29.7 KB
