Damascus Mastro Livi
Got this in the post today, its a Mastro Livi inox Damascus shoulderless 7/8.
I don't know if its a case of the emperors new clothes but the shave I got from this Today was an effortless 2 pass BBS.
It was like wiping fog from a mirror with a squeegee.
I think the rest of my blades may well be facing early retirement.
Cheers Guys
Paul

I took a gamble on eBay for this one & it turns out that the man I got it from has his own business in the UK
Restoring & sharpening razors for people.
He decided to sell it as he spends so much time shave testing blades before he sends them back that it wasn't getting any use .
I am going to do my best to see that will no longer be the case.
Cheers Paul

Congratulations Paul.
I nearly pulled the trigger on that one, shes a beauty alright. I believe yours is from Gary Haywood who gets great feedback for his coticule honing.

Very nice I've honed quite a few Livi Damascus blades and taken honers liberty and naturally took a few for a shave they gave up quite nice shaves as well. PS I actually had that razor in for honing his the guy you purchased the razor called Gary Haywood?
