    Default Italian razors?

    Over at the Italian Barber, he has a huge selection of Italian soaps, cremes and aftershaves. Are there any quality Italian straight razors?

    Just wondering.

    Mastro Livi I believe is Italian and he makes gorgeous razors at StraightRazorDesigns. I have been hunting for other Italian razors and found one in an old collection I believe called a capobasso or campobasso.

    I seem to recall one made for an Italian hardware store, though I bet it was German made.

    I have a Caudano Torino. I would recommend one of these to anyone that can find one.

    As mentioned, Livi makes current Italian razors. Vintage ones are very, very rare. I owned one in the past, but you don't see them pop up too often and many times they are of German origin still. There are vintage Italian ones out there though, they just take a lot longer to track down.
