    I have a Livi New Grind and find it to be a great shaver. Good looking too! Mine has snakewood scales.

    No, I don't want to get rid of it.:-)

    The regrinds may be great shavers, but given that you can have a blade made for you for the same price (simple wooden scales) I personally would rather ask Robert Williams to make me a blade according to my specs. Just my 2 ct.

    Mastro Livi's re-grinds are great. I shaved with mine this morning and got a very nice BBS.
    Mine has ebony scales. My advice would be: If you find one you like, Go for it.

    I bought mine from Lynn and Don. They have great service and are very fast. Thanks guys.

    I have a matched pair of Livi regrinds with boxwood scales that I bought directly from Mastro Livi. I ordered them for my 60th birthday and we went to Perugia to pick them up in person. The razors are great and, in addition to being a great artist, he's also a hell of a nice guy.
