    Default To buy, or not to buy a Mastro Regrind?

    I have been researching and looking into purchasing a Mastro Regrind. I was wondering if you fine gentlemen who have already purchased this razor can recommend it as a strong buy, or pass! How would you rate the quality of shave in comparison to a Ti or Dovo (which models), is it superior or on par with the others?

    I don't own one but I've decided it's going to be my next razor next year (adhering to the old one-razor-per-year rule!). I've seen them in his workshop as unfinished blanks and when he's finished working on them, a sort of before-and-after. They really are a fantastic combination of old (60 years+? since they were forged) and new work (polished, finished, scaled, and bevel set).

    At some point, they will all be sold, and when that happens the only marketplace will be places like SRP if someone decides to sell. In my opinion, if you even suffer from a mild form of RAD, you're gonna want one of these for sure!

    I kinda wish I still had mine. The handle I felt was a little large for my preference, but the blade was superb, and one of the nicest shavers I've tried to date.

    I have a Maestro regrind and would highly recommend it to anyone. I use it in my regular rotation and find it to be almost in the same league as my other Maestros, Zowadas and Chandler. At the current pricing I consider them to be a bargain. PM me if you have questions, but I would recommend that you pm Lynn or Don and see what they have available.

    If you have the cash, why not, they look really good.

    shemlock,

    I agree with Steelforge that the handle is a bit big for a balanced appearance, but the razor holds well in the hand and shaves superbly. If you are sitting on the fence with get-it-not on one side and get-it on the other, jump down on the get-it side. I bought mine from Lynn when he was selling a few of them and don't regret it for a minute.

    So my advice FWIW: get it.

    good shaving,

    I have one also, with olivewood scales. Not only is it a fantastic shaver but it also looks great. For the price its a bargin. I don't think the scales are large. I have some 7/8s razors and they have large scales. At any rate the razor is very well balanced.

    It's this kind of thread that makes me try to resist coming into the 'razors' section. You've got me thinking about it too now! In saying that I have had a project on the go with Mastro, now through his son Luca, for a wee while. We're still at the drawing up plans stage though - all the best things take time in Italy I suppose. My custom project went in about the same time as this SRP group buy so I can perhaps understand the hiaetus... However the longer these things take the more refined my idea of what I want becomes.

    The hands shake as it touches the hone and every microscopic piece of metal removed is seen as a financial loss.
