LOL,
I have to admit though, especially at 10x, but even at the 60x that I use, how do you know its not sharper? I mean what are you looking at besides the striations, which are obvious?
I wonder if TI is hand sharpening more of its blades now.

?? I saw the movie about the TI factory, they established the bevel on the horizontal grinding wheels, but both in the TI and DOVO, the final sharpening is done on a Yellow Belgian Coticule...

Of the three straights I own, only this one came sharp enough to shave. My other TI was not shavable when it arrived.

Well then, time to attack the other razors and test your theory. :-)

Am I one with my razors?
Wow. Honing at that steep angle with the X-pattern really made a huge difference. I honed up my other TI at this angle and now it's also shaving much more comfortably. The angle is more than 45 degrees, I'm guessing it's around 60 degrees.
This is awesome!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
