Thread: What razor to choose ?!

and BTW
Like I have said before, I will go for the Thiers-Issard razors
The Sheffield Silver steel seem like a nice good carbon to me after all I have read
Now
What to choose? size?

and like I have said before, I also need things to being able to strop the blade and hone it by myself

BTW
Do I need to have it sharpen by Lynn first? or is it come shave ready?
I have heard some guys here tell that the Thiers-Issard are shave ready
and also
If I buy it sharp ready from classicashaving, how much will the blade last until I need to hone it?
I am asking it, because maybe I will just buy a razor and a strop, and maybe later I will get the 4000/8000 Norton and some finner level too

If it were me and I was going to buy a new razor I'd probably buy an entire setup from Tony Miller, but with Tony being away for spring break and all (if I were Tony I'd also refuse your business after what you posted in a different thread) I'd make my purchases from Classic and pay to have Lynn hone the razor. Classic has strops and pastes and nortons. You should be able to get everything you need there.

I did make an apology for Tony!
I even sent him PM, I think the all thing went out of control
Any way
I might buy from classic, they have a really great service, and I love buying from them
But
Every one here tell me about how good is Tony's strops and so on, so I might take the razor I want from classic, but the strop from Tony
How is that?

That is a good idea.

I agree with the suggestion of Tony's strops, my strop from Tony is easily the best of several that I have.
Just to muddy the waters a little more, I'm pretty sure Dovo also offers a razor or two made from Sheffield silver steel, and I'm also in the camp that believes the Bergischer Lowe (sorry don't know how to make the umlaut) is not stainless steel, but apparently that depends on which website you buy it from; some, like Classic, say it is stainless, others, like Emsplace, call it Carbon. To say it is Swedish steel or Sheffield steel, etc. is only half the story. You may find this thread interesting....
So I guess if the catalog number has an "N" its not stainless, and if it has an "R" for Rostfrei, then it is...

Clear as mud.

Ok
So I think the best thing to do is get the TI razor made of high quality Sheffield Silver steel and get Tony's strop
Right?
