I have 2 of them. One came almost shave ready and the other took quite a bit of work. My feeling about them is that if you compare them to the other TI silver steel razors the club razors are lighter in the blade department. I also find comparing them to my other 7 TI's that the club razors do not hold an edge as long as the others. Now don't get me wrong here I'm not saying they are not quality razors because they certainly are its just my opinion comparing them to other TI's of equal quality that I own. They are still superior to the Dovo's out there any day of the week.
