These have been on the market for many years ,yet TI claims only 450 were made, and I do believe that.
However it will be ineresting to verify this by posting the serial number on each of owr blades .

Hmmm,
That's odd, I think mine is 1306. Just kidding. I believe it's 189, but am not sure as the razor is there and I'm here; tho' that's close.
Real close, it's 188 actually.
i have #375 last fall you could not find a retailer with any in stock that they would admit to at least.
Any of you have pictures, too?
I'm just asking to learn what they are, btw.
Mine's 331. This site is still selling them, only 3 left though.
How do they shave?

Chrisl,
How do it shave? Dunno. It has such a wide smile - guffaw actually - that I haven't trusted my relatively newly acquired skills enough to assay the razor's ability to crop stubble. Or maybe I shall never try old 188. I may just put Pierre's blade under the bench as Pierre did and there save it for the heirs.
Wow, that is more than 100EUROES more than i paid! scarcity breeds inflated prices!Quote:

Mine is a great shaver... and is my favorite TI. :D
Well I'm too lazy to go check but mine's in the 130s somewhere.
I don't remember the numbers of mine, sorry. But they shave great, IMHO, and Classicshaving still has it in stock.
I believe they are being released in limited quantities over time. Mine is #00070.
I have #130 and it's definitely one of my best shavers. No still shots but here I am shaving with it a few years ago. Batards took my music down after 100k views!

I know enough about what I like to shave with to know I would love to get my hands on one of these one day.

PS Good to see you again Larry. :)
I am thinking of putting #70 on the block...dunno yet...
Korndog, I'm one of the views! In fact, I watched more than once. Great video. Yours was one of the first I found when thinking about using a straight. You made it look so easy. Thanks!!
You too X. Nice avatar. :->Quote:

I really love my #143 TIPTLE. I don't know why but it's by far my fastest razor to shave with. It typically only takes about 5 minutes to shave with it, but anything else takes about 9-12 minutes. It's not just sharpness because a Feather AC takes me the same time as my other razors. Whatever it is, I'm a huge fan.
Hahahaha! Your video is one of the very first I watched when I started getting interested in straights. I still find it humorous how you took your sweet time, yet still managed a perfect straight shave in three minutes. Good stuff!Quote:

It's nice to be on the forums. Lots of new faces (so to speak) around; good to see. I'm really glad that my video got a lot of people started in this wonderful ritual, and that they found their way here. On topic, I love this razor. It has a feel and sound when it cuts that is unique and special.
Cheers

I really like the shape of that blade. The only thing that kept me from getting one was that I despise having to worry about gold plating. I'd feel guilty removing it and I'd always be worried that I'd do it accidentally. In my mind, straights are practical and sissified delicate gold plating has no place on them. Still, that is a great looking razor.
Nice little shavers :cool:

What's the grind like? I know it's full hollow-ish, but is it closer to singing hollow or 3/4 hollow. For example Wacker razors are advertized as full hollow but most of them are in fact close to 3/4 hollow which I prefer.
Mine is like 1/4 hollow ..... at least that is what I would call it. I never was good at judging those increments of hollow. It is more like a small wedge than a hollow IMHO. The only singing is your money saying goodbye. :)Quote:

First you have to find one. That is getting harder and harder.
I know. Fortunately there are so many beautiful razors out there and this is only one of them..
