Thread: SRP TI Limited Ed.

Hello all,

So the SRP Limited Ed. TI I purchased from ClassicShaving.com arrived this afternoon. This one in-particular, #179, is... well, quite the disappointment. The scales on both sides are damaged near the hinge pin, the blade itself has one huge spot where the craftsman just "missed" when polishing, and to top it all off... the blade has a pronounced frown!

All for the bargain price of @ $165... I have seldom felt so let down.

So I wrote them an email and told them the deal and they have offered to refund/replace the razor, as well as refund the cost of shipping back to them... good business and all, but I'm kinda wondering if I should just cut my losses now and move on.

Has it been the experience of other members here that TI has such shoty workmanship? I mean I have heard of some QA problems... and the "drunk monkey" they have pinning blades on certain days... but jeez... it can't really be that bad?

Can it?

Thoughts???

I've heard sometimes the guys at TI would pin the things together in some odd places, but this seems a little off....I'd send it back, especially if it has a frown

Sorry to hear about your razor, though. Hope your next one is much better.

I thnk a TI is my next purchase, but the way it sounds I'll be buying from another member, and not new...

And I can't understand why these dealers don't have someone experienced check outbound shipments. The box this came in was not sealed in any way, shape, or form. How hard would it have been to take a peek to see if the razor was even up to being shipped?

They're wasting nothing more than the patron's time, and their own money on return shipping.

?

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

Was it a pink naked lady? If so, I got it.

My TILE No 161 was the first Ti Ive owned & I must say that You just got a bad one .Dont write this blade off as mine has a smile & is a really good shaver. Better luck with the replacement .Paul

There certainly have been cosmetic issues with TI as far as pins go and some scale issues but the blades have always been near perfect. I have two of the SRP razors and they are perfect. The fact the razor came unsealed is troubling and if it has a frown that is especially troubling.
