Thread: Anyone have any info on the AOS rebranded TI razor?

Of course, I have seen some that looked great and were capable of shaving. They were not great shaves, but a decent shave. So they need to be brought to standards that I have come to appreciate.

I have a Dovo that has a perfectly straight and even bevel on one side and on the other the tip and heel touch the hone but not the belly - I could try to correct it with a DMT and lots of elbow grease but to me it's just not worth the effort - rather spend the day finishing razors.

Yeah, that's true. Because even if they have weird issues you can get them shaving, but you have to do honing gymnastics to get them in order. So I guess there is fun in working on a challenging razor, but it can be frustrating to the nth degree. Relaxing and working on a razor with a finisher is a greater pleasure for me.

I have an AOS TI with Rams Horn scales (5/8 C135).
I am pretty sure all of the TI razors offered at AOS are now C135. The box will have a silver sticker on the top designating it a C135 razor if it is.

I am a HUGE fan of my AOS TI and right now, it is my go-to razor for nearly daily use. The only blade I have that shaves me better, and I use it far less frequently, is my J.A. Henckels 415 NOS.
