    Default TIPTLE #353.

    Hi.
    I'm so happy that i could save that razor, i'm a huge fan of TI.
    There was a lot of watermarks and scratches on the blade but most of them cleaned up nicely. Saving the etching was my priority and unfortunately i couldn't do anything in that "area", few scratches and some staining left, but i can live with that

    beautiful stuff!

    I've been wanting to find a tiptle for a while now. Did you own this previously or was it found in the wild?

    I spotted it on italian ebay. The seller told me that he bought it in France, he found it on flea market. I wish i could find such a gem locally some day .
