I agree!!!
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.

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!

It was probably a one-off mistake somewhere. You shouldn't be hesitant at all to get the replacement instead of the refund.

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.

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..

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!!!!!

Friday I finally received an exchanged TI 6/8 Silver Steel Stamina. My wife gave me the original last July. It looked good but it would not shave. I had Lynn hone it and it didn't shave. I finally sent it back to Classic Shaving and after a month I got the new one. I was very pleased when I opened the package, anticipating the current horrors of QC, and found it looking like it should. The box was sealed. When I unwrapped the razor, I noticed immediately that the finish was much better then the original. I was heading out to my shop to hone it when I decided to test the edge. Now, I have never received a new razor that was supposed to be shave ready that was. However, to my great surprise this one was! The edge was perfect. On Saturday, I stropped it up and shaved with it. It was great. I finally got a TI that lived up to its heritage.

I thought I'd better pass this along as I have been voicing my disappointment in TI as of late.

Funny you should say that as I go by the same motto. There's is something about the germans for sure, they know how to make a good product no matter what that product is.

Cars are probably the best example.

I wasn't trying to make this a Kraut vs. Frog thread. Just trying to inject some humor into an otherwise unfortunate happenstance. I would actually have purchased one of those razors myself if the funds permitted me to....stupid vehicular maintenance. Who needs new tires?!
