Mastro Livi Grifetto Inox 6/8 Olive Wood Arrived!
My newest addition arrived today! I can't say how happy I am to have even this entry level piece and it really is nicely ground and honed. The bevel is TINY and she is about as well honed as anything I have had my hands on. The shave can only be described as extremely smooth and the blade/scal balance is superb. Speaking of which, the scales are absolutely beautiful. The texture and patterns in the wood grain really make this one of a kind.
So with that....a few pics:

It is still listed on the SRD website, where I purchased it. It's in the custom razor shop section

That is not bad at all. That is one of the sharpest looking razors I have seen. In a week I am ordering my first, a dove 6/8 Bismark with black ivory. Also from SRD..... GOT A GOOD LOOKING BLADE THERE...would make a great Christmas gift.....

Well goes without saying that it is a beautiful razor/scales, but I love the box. Mastro didn't use the olive wood on the boxes years ago. Just gorgeous.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Many thanks for the compliments. She certainly shaves like a dream, and the scales are incredible. It is very nicely and evenly ground and overall just feels great. The jumps are subtle but effective and the edge is incredible. I doubt when it is time to give her a hone I will be able to replicate that in any meaningful way!

Livi has upgraded his boxes and the newer ones are really nice.
I think the Grifetto are the best thing he has done lately. They are really nice basic, quality razors for a reasonable price.

Congratulations on your new Grifetto and, yes, the olive wood pattern is simply awesome!
As for the box, the box type you see in the above picture is used for Grifetto razor only. Mastro Livi artisan made razors are still delivered with the old box, bo9th in dark and olive wood.Disburden and Denvernoob like this.The RazorGuy - StraightRazorChannel on Youtube and Google+

Simply stunning my friend! Those scales are beautiful and hard to tell from the picture but are they half oval type scales?
