Thread: My New TI

Thought I would post some pics of the only razor I brought back from europe. I bought this in Paris at Planet Rasoir. Unfortunately, noone there speaks english, and my impression none of them knew how to use a straight razor or that a razor isn't shave ready from the factory. Its a very nice shop however, and I would reccomend that anyone in Paris stop by.

Fantastic looking razor. I honed up a TI with a similar blade a couple weeks ago for a friend and it shaved unbelievably well. Good luck!

now thats what im talking about something different but simple!

Very nice Congrats!!

That's really sweeet!

How were their prices? Did you get the Coticule there too?

I believe this cost me $300. A bit pricy, but I couldn't help it. I mean it had the fluer de li and everything.

The stuff there is definately a bit expensive, however, I found everything in paris to be expensive.

I didn't get the coticle there, the only sharpening tool I saw there was a pasted strop. Which the guy working there tried to brutalize my razor on.

Love the razor though, and it is a great shave.

That's a beauty BP. Very nice.

It's funny.... I don't know how long you were there but on longer trips I find my perceptions change over time. In the UK I was skocked to pay like $8 for a gallon of gas (between pounds and litres, I really have no idea, it was what it was) but after awhile that stuff started to impact my perception of other things I would buy. I mean I just spent $150 on a $30 tank of gas, what's $45 for a souvenir shot glass?? (I mean something that should have cost like $10)

'til of course you get home and look at the cc bills waiting for you

Sweet razor, by the way! I love it! Congrats!

Very nice. I like the shape of the tang.
