    Good to know! Which stores do you hone for? I'm guessing Brea Mall and South Coast Plaza?

    I have just one TI (a 7/8" limited edition).

    I can't complain about it, in fact I think it is just perfect! I rehoned it without any issues. I know that in the past there have been issues with TI, but it's been a while since I've heard complaints about them. I wouldn't buy the 5/8"s though, I saw a selection of them recently, and I though that the scales were too big for the blades. What I really like about TI is that they are the only traditional company out there who has innovated in the last few years: they are using this steel they call C135.

    I can attest the C135 steel is great and while it "feels" no different it absolutely holds an edge longer than most other razors. I believe from what I've read that is the advantage of the C135 steel as well as the steel itself being tempered better hence the "improved" edge retention.

    Love that style spine ! My vintage Boker 1056 has a similar spine. It just looks cool

    i think you can still buy the old, historic steel from uk, if you do not trust the new c135

    I still love my TI C135 5/8. I often use my other razors in the rotation just waiting to get back to that one. Something about it just seems to work well with me....it holds its edge wonderfully...and I love the rams horn scales. Just a winning combo.
