Thread: 2 historic TI's for sale

399 euro = $534 were did the $800 come from, did I miss something

I think when Classic had them they were $429. I used $1.38 and came up with $550 on the Euro conversion.

They are really great shavers in any case.

the easiest way to convert currencies is to Google it. For example:

"399 eur to usd"

and you will get:

"399 Euros = 538.4904 U.S. dollars"

Okay Lynn, quantitatively, what does this mean?? Would you say the original PT forgings are better shavers than, say, the soon to be released Silverwing you've been testing?? It's cool! It's historic! And I'm all behind that but strictly as a shaver....? I have a TI and I love it. It's a great shaver, even at my skill level. And I am definately buying another but should it be (at any cost, while they are still available) a PT forged one?? Or will another TI shave just as well??

Thanks!

(disclaimer - and yes, I realize honing, stropping, angle, prep... let's just say overall technique make a huge difference in the quality of the shave - I'm just asking you opinion of the razor itself)

I have two of these in my collection. I enjoy the way TI razors shave and a few are exceptional including these. They all have been really nice shavers including the new one. If you gots ta has this, then you gots ta has it......

Looks more like GB Pound to USD conversion.

Yep, you're right. I used the Pounds to Dollars conversion and not the Euros to Dollars.

My bad.

Two of them?! -Congrats Lynn! -Me only have one... Just as Lynn said... exceptional shaver!

If anyone's still interested in having one of these, the site dick.biz still seems to have them at a bargain price of 335 euros without MwSt (VAT).
For those who don't speak German you need to click on the link messer(knives) at the top of the page and then click the category rasiermesser. Here you'll find the Pierre Thiers razor and others to include a neat Japanese style straight.

If you go to click.biz if you click the little english flag in the bottom right hand corner it switches to english. Thats the japanese Iwasaki they are selling (approx $318.00 US)
