Thanks, Rockabillyhelge!

More than a month later since I posted and I do own both a Ralf Aust 5/8" and a TI 6/8". I went with the french point 'Durandal' model with ebony scales

Beautiful shaver, worked even better then my SilverWing. But that might be only due to the "shave ready" differences between places I bought them from.

It is my understanding that these were made from old stock blades at TI. Although they have been recently finished and sold by TI as new blade from old stock. I'm hoping this makes sense to everyone.

Late to the party, but i love the way this razor looks and feels.

I very much doubt this. Each change of steel seems to be a big marketing event for TI (they were special editions for the c135 steel, for the blanks from the le grelot, for the le grelot 357 look-alikes made from c135..., there were so many 'last of the last' during the transition period that it became a joke) and these are not noted as anything special. I think it's safer to assume they're just the regular production made of c135.
To me it's interesting that the grind is hollower than the vintage version.
