I have many questions but I'm sure everybody has answers
1) Lynn mentioned the LeGrelot has the new TI steel feel. Does anybody know the hardness?
2) Also, you mentioned the AOS razor was made with the new harder TI steel. I was afraid of the AOS razors because when I asked customer service they didn't know their a*& from a hole in the ground. Has anybody tried these?
3) Is the TI Sheffeld silver steel mentioned on most of classics TIs the newer harder steel or is that the older softer steel?
