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

Compared to other mass-produced modern razors, I think they have the best grind consistency and quality - I've never run into one that was unhonable... I have several Dovos that have very bad geometry straight from the factory.

There are countless example on this forum of knowledgeable people having problems honing the C135 especially the Silverwing trademark razors. Seems like the steel respond better to synthetic hones and CBN.

Wasn't trying to be contentious - I think that came across the wrong way... When I first started honing I had two TI's and spent a lot of time with them - now I have 6 or 7 in my collection. I use Shaptons for removing metal and mostly JNats for finishing - I agree they are chippy on the higher grit Shaptons but not something that can't be overcome. I spend a lot of time examining edges with microscopy and tend to be annoyed by even the tiniest nanochip. I think it's a great alloy for razors - takes and holds an edge very well and seems to be very corrosion resistant as well.
