    I have TIs and Maestro’s and find very little difference between the two in the shave. ::duel They handle a little differently and Maestros have better blade geometry but for the price I will buy TIs from now on. Have you seen the new steal TI is coming out with? :bounce

    I love the Maestro Razors still. They are elegant and great shavers. The Maestro has set the standard for modern day custom straight razors and each is a work of art. Check out StraightRazorDesigns.com.

    I have a Maestro Livi regrind, which I bought from Lynn. I have not used it yet as I both have not gotten to it with all the razors I have purchased and also for the fact that I'm a little scared that it might be the only razor I'll want to use after I do try it.:eek:;)

    I actually sold off the Livi that was referenced in that post. I have a few...and they are all pretty nice blades.

    I still have mine and it's a great blade! I own many great ones today and the Livi rank very high!

    I've spoken to a few people who were disappointed with Livi's razors. They said that for the price, they were underwhelmed with the quality control: uneven scales, uneven wedge, pins not flush, etc. While he obviously has many happy buyers, the number of negative reviews makes me apprehensive. In contrast, I've never seen one negative post about a Bill Ellis custom.

    These days the options for custom straight razors are numerous. I'm on Ellis' and RW's waiting lists. :)

    Issac, How does your new Chandler shave? I saw one of the Wootz Damascus on SRD and was very curious. Also have you had to hone it? I read on SRP Nelson's review of the TI Wootz and was also curious about the honing of the Chandler Wootz.

    Thanks
