Thread: mastro livi set

I noticed in Lynns video that he had a custom made set from Mastro livi.It was a razor,loom strop and a brush.Anyone know where to order a set like that? Anyone know the price?(besides the white in my eye)

You can order it directly from Mastro Livi here.

Mastro Livi used to display prices on his site, but looks like he has taken them down. I guess it's price on application now. Coltellerie Livi - Artistic Knives and straight razors

The mammoth ivory set (loom strop, brush, razor) was something like 1300 Euros some time ago. Probably more now.

I think his son Luca has limited knowledge of English so try emailing him. The details are on the site.

oh my god.That was almost to much for my young heart! That must be the sweetest shaving kits ever made! I,m considering selling some of my organs.

prices should still be there if you click the pictures 1320 for the ivory with abalone insert set for instance.

And yes to the luca part, his son. I've quite a few emails back and forth with him and one other guy there in regards to a purchase the postservice forgot to hand over to me. Both of tm very polite.

They have lots of stuff not listed thouugh so I would send an email if I was you. The brush I bought alone was not shown anywhere. Well that's nt entirely true it was in one of the videos he has put out.

edit blargh! I give up editing this post. I've started using one of those ~9" notebooks and the keyboard takes some getting used to

I'm gonna pamper my self with the ivory set when i finish my engineer degree.The wife gave thumbs up! I'm so whipped..

If you are seriously considering this venture, your best bet is to speak to Lynn or Don @straight razor designs,,,,they'll make it happen for you.

Not to put anyone down or anything. But In my opinion if he wants to buy a livi set his best bet is to do so through Livi. I bought one of his sets which I'm very fond of. But I went through a vendor in the US. Now I am from Denmark and op Kristoffer is from Norway so the countries might not be exactly alike but we are very similar generally. I got hit by customs pretty hard +25% to the price, I'm just happy they didn't add VAT to it =). When shopping within European borders the Danish customs generally aren't as anal in my experience when it comes to moms.

Either way. you should remember that it can take time for the items to be made if they don't have something on hand that fits the bill so to speak.

chady, plug in an external keyboard, if it is going to be your full time machine that is what I'd do.

+1 on the risks of import duties etc. but Lynn may be a good person to talk to about it anyway as he has known Mastro Livi for many years and can advise you on all sorts.

I'll throw in another possibility... at that cost, why not make a trip out of it? I took a summer holiday to Italy (Tuscany/Umbria area) and took a day trip to Perugia. Mastro Livi's workshop is there and you will be faced with an enormous choice of razors, brushes and strops. It's a like a sweetshop for us SRPers.

Mastro Livi is very hospitable and loves visitors. If you're saving this for a post-degree treat, then why not roll it into a summer holiday too?
