Thread: Introduction

Hello and welcome to SRP.
Sounds like you are off to a good start.
I'm not sure that the Art of Shaving stores actually hones their razor to a desired level before selling, so you might wanna get that done.
As I understand it, TI has improved their factory edges lately, but wether that means truly shave ready, I wouldn't know.
If you decide to get it professionally honed, check out the classifieds here on SRP. Lots of good honers advertise there, the fee is quite reasonable.

The razor itself is a quality razor. TI is a highly regarded brand with lots of history!

Steel stains very easily, and yes, even Stainless steel gets spots from residing water.
Make sure to dry it off and give it a good stropping after use.
That will keep it clean and spotless.

If I may, please check out the links in my sig-line.
Lots of nice info and tips to be had in the wiki around here.

Good luck with your shaving
