Was considering a TI for my next venture but I think I'll go with my previous hunch and stick with a shiny new DORKO.
Where did that naked lady dorko that Izlat sold ever get to?? ....

I'd love to see this one. All the other ones in this run have been nice. This razor actually has a smile, so to hear one has a frown is interesting.
Thanks,
Lynn

Newbie here.
Could someone please explain smile and frown for me? From the way it sounds, it's a curve to the bevel of the blade, or the blade itself. Is this right?

Check out Heribert Wacker razors at shavingshop.com! All have that same handmade quality and the ones I have purchased have arrived flawless.

This razor was made specifically for us and it a very nice razor and a very good shaver. I would not discount it. If there is a bad one out of the 250 made, I'm sure it will be replaced. I have # 1 and have also honed up a bunch of these. Originally Posted by kasperitis

I was being a bit facetious (is that the right word?). I'm sure TI makes a good razor..if they didn't, SRP wouldn't have had a custom run of them! Originally Posted by Lynn

With all of that said, I generally like the look and price point of the Dovo's over the TI's. But that's a 100% personal preference.

Agreed it is personal preference but, my experience is just the opposite. I vastly prefer the shaves I get from my TIs. Originally Posted by kasperitis

Lynn honed mine.
I haven't even taken off the oil that Lynn put on it.. I opened it up a couple of times just to look at it..
I think I should take a shave just to make sure it's shave ready..

Thanked: 13249 You Guys are scaring me
OK it's stories like these that have caused me now twice to not hit the submit order button at classic shave for a new TI retro razor...
Just the other day I loaded up the order had everything in there and was ready to press PLAY for $179 plus shipping and talked myself out of it because of all the QC problems I keep hearing about...It would throughly disappointed me to receive a brand new CRAP razor...
At least when I get a crap razor on e-bay I know that's what I'm getting, and I know, I have a full weeks worth of work, getting that old piece of "history" back into working condition...
Unfortunately for TI I found an NOS Craftsman 3 hours from the end of it's auction, and it is winging it's way to me now...
I also have a problem not supporting one of the last razor companies in the world today..... BUT!!!!!
