Thread: 7/8 Maestro Takeda AS Damascus

Losing my sanity???? Only the question asker........

These are just the nicest razors out there. Every one has been origninal and beautiful and a good shaver and still you ask these questions......hahahahahaha. Keep em coming.........

The edges are easy to maintain and if not perfect when you get them, pretty close. The Maestro's work is brilliant and I am proud to represent him here in North America.

Iwan, tis another winner. Enjoy!!!!!

I gave it a quick test shave just now and I can confirm that Lynn is not losing his sanity, this is a great shaver indeed!

I love the look of the Takeda blade, the core of high carbon steel (of which the shaving edge is made out of) stands out very clearly from the surrounding damascus. I haven't tried honing this yet, there's no need to for quite a while I should think.

FYI I did a bit of a review of this razor over on B&B if anyone (particularly Lynn) is interested. Lynn, prepare for lots of enquiries!

Thanks Iwan.

I have spotted the flaw in your logic:

However I knew that Maestro Livi has a small quantity of special steel which he imports from Japan, so I decided I'd try and get a razor made from this while it's still available

There will always be 'last of a kind' items, even if the previous 'last of a kind' items are indeed gone.
As long as you are interested because something is the last of its kind, there will never be an end to your RAD.

Sorry if that ruined your day.

I can't see the pictures Iwan... Am I the only one?

Am I correct that you shave with two Olivewood ML razors at the moment? Wouw!
