Thread: Great Deal on T-I Razors...no kidding.

Thanks for posting the picture. Now I'm super excited, can't wait to get mine in my hands.

As far as I can tell yes. I TPTed one spot mid blade and it grabbed with a quickness. Going to a meet in Tomah, and I want to see how others dial them in.
So I rewrapped my new razor, didnt even wipe the factory grease off of it. I bought another TI and have been shaving with its factory edge for 6 months. Waiting for a meet to get schooled on how to best dial one in. Hardest steel that I have yet to come across.



Seems to get sharper as I use it. Better thought is that I am stropping better with more strokes and that is the culprit of my success. And I dont have the guts to dull the edge and bring it back is also the truth.

Ah, I have to wait. Mine is back ordered. Say they will email when received and ready to ship. At this price definitely worth the wait. But I hate when companies take a back order without telling you up front.

I'm looking now. The 6/8 is 94 and the 5/8 is 177. I wonder why the 5/8'is so much more expensive. I guess that's what most people want. Supply and demand. You guys are killing me. I have 5/8 Dovo and a 7/8 RA. I could use a 6/8 for my collection but thought I was done for a while. Hmmm. What to do

Well. I got my order in. Even know it says out of stock. Great deal. This forum has cost me a small fortune. Lol

You can still order it. May just take a little longer

Who ever gets there's first. You have to let us know how good it is, and if it's really shave ready

You, and only you, decide if the piece is a must have.
Then come up with a bunch of economic reasons to justify your razor lust.

It's a factory edge, so it's "passable" but won't be truly shave ready.... It will need to be touched up for sure

Once in a while a razor will show up with a ready-to-go edge right out of the box. I received a RA and a Boker like that some time back. Many high end "Artisan " razors are also fine right from the get go.. Most though require some tuning. I will most probably work on the new TI with either a coticule or a 5k, 8k, 12k Naniwa SS progression. Should have mine tomorrow.. Depending how I like it, I see my TI 1937 Special Coiffure half hollow going on the block sooner than later.
