BEST TI

could you tell me the best TI in term of shaving smoothness?

Loup et Bellier
eagle
fox and rooster?

thanks

Those're all the same.

LOL X - short and sweet.

Yes, I understand only the gold wash is different. I myself like the Loup et Bellier design most - so for me they are the best :D

Actually, while the razors are very similar, one difference I've found is some are two sides mirrored others are one side mirrored/one side satin finished. I like the mirrored finish better. It shaves the same but it seems to clean up better... To me.

IIRC, the ones from Knifecenter are mostly mirrored. Some places list them as one side mirrored (assume other side satin!).

There are OTHER TIs out there as well.... Historic forgings and such.... And you will find the occasional "updated" steels (like mine tang stamped "V").

Every one I've tried has been a reat shaver though so there really aren't any "bad" choices....
