    Yeah I have to remind myself DX does not shave like SRs, will look to make adjustments in technique and angles when the razors come in. Thanks guys.

    Which TI razor did you buy? I got a SS TI razor from The 'Invisible Edge' a couple of weeks ago.

    Like you I find it very harsh, but it is sharp and does give a very good shave. I've polished the edge with a 12000 stone and a balsa strop and it is getting better- but not yet as good as some of my vintage razors.

    I think it will get better with use and stropping- I hope!

    "11/16" le grelot spartacus with rams horn scales. The box says 11/16 but I measured at 6/8s.
