I was on the verge of being a failed straight razor shaver. My TI left me wondering what's all the huh, bub, as Bugs would say. I sent it to Randy for honing; I just got it back, and man, is it ever sharp.

But, after one shave I have to say I don't really care for the TI. I bought a vintage razor from a member and it has a heavy blade. I find that razor to be a lot easier to use. It could be all in my head but I was just getting comfortable with cross handed shaving using the vintage razor, with the TI it seemed like my left hand couldn't hold blade steady. Not the best feeling to have when you're holding a very sharp blade to your neck. I admit that I need more practice with my left hand, but still.

Anyone else not like a lighter blade, or am I being neurotic?
