Couldn't afford a Livi... So an Italian razor is an Italian Razor! Saw the ""Italian Razor"" (ie Razor living in Italy) and said WOW, how different could it be? A Livi or an "Italian" Razor. So I went for it!!
Now all I have to do is to try it out tonite. My Italian Razor, from France, made with German Steel!
How much different can the Two be?? Livi or Kabrand_i.

Well ... There probably is a difference between the Livi and the the Kabrand.
1st it wasn't shave ready. Took a little more than the pasted strop to get it into shape. Took out the stones, did about a 1/2 hr of honing and Stropping and it shaved ok . Balance was ok. Blade width ok.
Probably will let it rest till Saturday and give it a Stropping and see if she remember what I thought it today!(;-)
Guess the Kabrand is ok for me... Just saw the Livi on eBay with a starting bid of 750.00$.

Jason,
That razor is absolutely gorgeous. You need a matching brush
I got my buckeye burl brush from Rodney Neep which is a close match as I asked Mastro Livi if he had a block of wood to make a brush handle but alas currently he doesn't have a large enough piece.

I've thought about matching brushes with straights (I have a lovely Raymond Bukaty to match a Santon Genes Dragon Slayer) but alas, I have no more space until a few are sold on.
Although saying that, I have been speaking to Mr Le Tuft.........

Thank you for that very kind offer sir, I shall seriously give it some thought
There you go.......I'm thinking not, but The Better Half would probably love the idea. She seems to have got it in her head that they are a hazard and our cat is somehow going to open the doors, take the razors out of a hanging pouch thingy, unfold the blade and then somehow remove limbs :icon_razz:
