Thread: looking for a new razor $200-3 something range

Seraphim,

Do those TI's come from rasurpur shave ready, or do you have to drop the cash for the sharpening service? I'm still bad enough at honing that I send my nice razors out, and only hone razors under $100 bucks myself.

The LeGrelot's are nice shavers and have that new TI harder feel to them. They can be a little different to hone, but a couple more polishing strokes usually handles it. Feels a lot like the Silverwing Razor by TI. I believe they were re-tooling last year to a different steel and obvioulsy these are some of the results.

Have fun.

Lynn

I don't know how shave ready mine came, as I alsways have to screw around with a razor myself to get it where I want it (except a custom I bought from Russel Baldridge, that came shave-ready indeed!)

Funny thing (agreeing with Lynn here). My Le Grelot 3/4 really, really liked a bit of polishing on a hanging Cro2 strop.
1 either the bevel wasn't set well enough(and the hanging strop gave it enough of a "reach around" to polish the edge) Maybe??

or

2 It just needed a really fine abrasive to get it very sharp

I don't know TBH, I'm a learner !
Try a Le Grelot though. Lots of steel in 3/4 or the nicer looking one(1/4 grind?) for the £ or $
