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.
