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.
