Thread: Newbie needs assistance with TI vendor correspondence and decision

No mass produced razor will be perfect. Some things will be off at least a tad. This would bother some but not bother others. Its the custom razors where the makers really take the time to obtain perfection.

Having said this TI has a reputation for fantastic blades but QC can be a real issue. They have improved over the last few years however I have several TIs and some are really great and some have been embarrassing in the issues they have. To me a slight misalignment in the scales is no issue as long as it is really slight and a not perfectly straight bevel is no issue to me as long as it a purely cosmetic thing and is really slight. For a discount it might be a real bargain.

It's up to you and your standards.
