You can copy, paste as a new post in this thread and append to the list as you like, provided that you are reasonably sure the person/firm is currently making their own traditional SR's for sale. Please state their name, location and country.

Good to know - so others can do so also ... late in Euro-land...maybe tomorrow now.

If I were a search engine, I would say "Max Speeches? Did you mean Max Sprecher?"

Seriously, you are doing an excellent service for the forum here.

Mastro Livi is a living legend. He is highly respected in the wet shaving world and his beautiful creations need no presentation. Simply put Italian top craftsmanship at its very best.

That video was 4 or more years ago. I have heard, maybe incorrectly, that Mr. Livi has retired from SR manufacture.

Honestly, I am not sure. Maybe partially retired. Anyway, I won't worry too much about that. Livi is a family business handed down from father to son since the late 1800. To my knowledge Luca Livi is doing the main work now. Anyway, here is the web site for you, so to contact them directly Chi Sono - Coltellerie Livi - https://www.coltellerielivi.com/chi-sono/

family biz or not, if you put out something like this and call yourself mastro - well, i respectfully disagree with the combination of self proclaimed title of endstage of possible caftmanship and the actual output, bc this looks just freaking horrible. objectively. there is exact zero masterness involved. just a reality check..


good list op, thanks
