Gentlemen,

I have a beautiful TI historical 6/8 Large flat back razor; it was really shard right off the box but not really shave ready. In order to give a tune up I used a strop with diamond paste 1 and .5 micron. After a few pass on a strop it was passing the HHT without a problem but for some reason it does not give me such a good shave, it is not even close to the shave I get with my plain 5/8 Friodur even if sometime this razor is not passing the HHT. It is a gorgeous razor with a mirror finish and a very delicate and flexible edge. I have to say that I have a tough beard. I am wondering if it is just the personality of the razor, it looks really sharp but maybe the edge was never really established properly. In any case I will probably sent it to an expert for sharpening job just to be sure but if you have an opinion I will appreciate.

Thanks and have a great day

Norm
