    Default Hello from Dayton

    Long time lurker. Avid engineer, pilot, firearms enthusiast, and SR fan.

    Just got my first TIs. Have a more than a few Dovos, and decided to venture out a bit. Stopped by a rather large chain shaving shop (will remain nameless) and picked up a couple (I have a fetish for matched sets...) of Thiers Sabatier 5/8s. One is wonderfully sharp, truly shave ready. The other....had corrosion spots on the blade I missed when looking, nicks on the edge.

    I'm not a slouch with a hone, but I'm considering sending it to straightrazordesigns to get it set up right.

    Just a little bummed by this.

    Welcome to SRP

    If you have never done edge restoration, 1k and lower, I would recommend you send it out.

    Yep, Dayton OH.

    TI update - 2 glasses of Bookers later, nicks are going using 20 strokes on a Norton 4k, followed by 40 on the 8k side.

    I guess they looked worse than they were. Still, a bit bummed.

    But thanks for the welcome, guys.

    Welcome to SRP.

    I like my 1911s too.

    I'm in Kettering and have been collecting and restoring for almost a year and am up to about 100 razors (no TIs yet).
    Send me a pm and I'll send you my email.
    Also, National Shaving Memoribilia Show in October at Indiana Wesleyan Conference Center in West Chester. Awesome show with tons of amazing razors.
