Yes, we could all put in an arko or Palmolive stick, and then the winners get the spoils divided up( each stick divided up obviously )

Reminds me of the time I approached TI for a custom etch on an 8/8 dreadnought. I wanted it to say


What I got was



I never quite knew whether it was a genuine mistake, or if those years I spent as a waitress in the Parisian cafe had finally caught up with me....??

But - is that apostrophe only attributable to one greengrocer as you imply with your apostrophe Jimbo,
or to many greengrocers? Aye, there's the rub...

From the honing i did see from this outfit, you will need a lot more then that strop to make that razor shaveable.

Perhaps it could be offered as a safety razor, it will never cut you because you will never use it.

Hmm I rather like the etching but I guess that is just a personal preference that has little to do with the quality of the blade. I would not mind buying a new Thiers and if you know where I can get one for $45 less I would love to know of it. I agree about the seller not being the best but I think the OP was asking about the blade itself.

I wouldn't mind spending time each morning with a "Bambi"


I like the blade, barber's notch and shoulderless. The etching seemed cooler when I was drinking, it still isn't bad. If somebody could point me to the same blade features for less and from a more reputable place I'd appreciate it. I used my 5/8 cmon this morning and just prefer 6-7/8.

Are TI razors no good? somebody said they're the same as Gold Dollar? that doesn't sound like a $1xx dollar to me. I have an itch for a new razor don't want to have junk.
