HBirdman80,

Just had a look at the AOS website.

Their razor for $135 looks identical to the TI Spartacus I got from a site in the UK. The other razors look like the same blade, just different scales so may not be worth going for them. I know the 1 for $135 looks like plastic scales, but mine feels fine.

I got it on Monday but only got a chance to shave with it this morning. I did a quick 1 pass WTG and must admit it felt better that a quick 1pass WTG from my Mach3.

If you can get 50% discount on it, go for it.

If you plan on learing to hone yourself, best to get at least 1 good shave ready to use as a benchmark.

Stuart.
