Of course, on an advertising picture things can be made to look much, much better than they really are, I see it all the time with all kinds of razors, from poor ebay restores to the mass production lines to custom made.

BTW as far as I know Lynn hasn't been honing for classicshaving for years. Last I knew it was the hart steel people who honed for them.
Thanks for the good info. I am so torn now. I understand that SRD's honed razors are probably the best choice and I really want to purchase from them. My only problem with that when I browse their site for a razor, every time I click on a razor that fits my eye, it is out of stock. Their selection is pretty limited in that aspect. Again, why can't they just sell TI razors.

VintageBladesLLC has a TI SilverSteel with black horn scales in stock that they do a professional hone. At this point, I am thinking "c'est la vie". You only live once, get what you really want.
