Dont understand me wrong, but I´m pretty shure that all the makers you named will do fantastic razors. Perhaps the material they use are much more better. But not Maestro Livi, not Bill Ellis and all the others can do a "really" Hollow ground with only a belt sander. A blade like a a Dovo "Prima Klang" or others very tin grinded blades need a "Schleifhexe" or a similar machine. This profile is not makeable with a belt grinder:

For a good razor it is not absolutelly necessary to be grounded so thin (old Sheffield razors, 1/4 or 1/2 hollow ground), but I think it is an very high crafmanship or even an art to be able to do this. And I hope we will see blades like this not only from the past times.
