Thread: Livi vs. Wacker

Nice, tell him to go for both!

I have a Livi, It's a great razor, well balanced and holds an edge. I can't say about the other, because I don't own one.

I own the other one (the Wacker), and I love it. Note, I also don't like the gold wash treatment on most Wackers, but this one only has a bit on the face of the blade, none on the spine or tang, and it looks pretty cool when you partially polish it off with Maas...

I think the big deciding point between these two razors might be the grind-- the Wacker is a 1/4 hollow grind, and is very hefty (which I like). What's the grind on the Livi?

Note, I also have a full hollow grind Dovo, and I like the contrast between the 2 razors-- I alternate using them every shave.

I Have tried Livi and it was 1 of the best shaves i did get. i would go with livi by the way Lynn honed it.

"I alternate using them every shave"... I meant every other day. But now that I think about it, I *do* shave with both hands...

Haha, I did man. I don't think he wants to pay 500+ for something he's never held/used before. He's old-school.
