Thread: Theirs Issard

Lynn Abrams, who has honed a lot of razors, once told me that TI workmanship is questionable. Furthermore, workmanship on their more expensive models is not necessarily any better than than on the least expensive models.

I do like the TI Carbonsong steel. It is difficult to hone, but holds its edge well.

The grinding is frequently uneven. I have two 11/16 quarter hollows that are perfect. I have two 7/8 near full hollows that the bevels are wavy and wide, at least on one side. The rest of the workmanship is fine. I also like the C-135 steel, hard but takes and holds a fine edge.
