sys,
Dearth of pics, mon ami? Certainment! Many razors and no camera. C'est life, ohh hohh? (that's the best Maurice Chevalier impression i've got)
TI forever!! Vive la TI!!!:bow
Here is my "leaves and vines" limited edition that i bought on b/s/t last year... scales are red stamina needs a proper cleaning.
OK, other and than my SRP razor (#142) this is my last TI.
again, purchased it from a member here on SRP. red stamina "Wolf and Ram" stipple back file work on the spine....
My TI Historic Silver Steel......she was such a beauty....but a lousy shaver. In the end, she had to go to a new master.

This is the TI Limited Edition B&B Pink Ivory LeGrelot that 80 of us over at Badger & Blade are currently waiting for. Joel set up the buy for the very last 80 LeGrelot blades that TI had left.....can't wait to take her for a spin!

I know sometimes those TI's break your heart with the quality control issues....Quote:

The historic blades are 100 year old forgings that have recently been ground into razors as offered by rasupur below.

My two TIs are fantastic shavers. One is 5/8's extra hollow with snakewood scales and the other is a 7/8's extra hollow with red stamina scales. The shaves from both razors are extremely close, long lasting and comfortable. They can only be matched by my Bergischer Lowe. I had no difficultly putting a finish edge on either TI with my spyderco UF stone.
I will post pictures tonight.
Historic?
I'm awaiting delivery of my first ever Ebay purchase:
1931 Le Grelot!

Nice LeGrelot Seraphim!! :tu
