After seeing Chimensch's gorgeous TI 7 day set I clicked on the link to Blue Principle's TI UK website here . I have a weakness for TI razors in general and unique TIs in particular. I saw the Dreadnought point with the bone scales and I couldn't resist. It is the 7th one down the queue . :y
Nice choice, Jimmy. Those are real beauties.
The dreadnought's the one i'd have chosen & said so when Steve posted. It's absolutely stunning & cries out to me to buy it! I love the quality materials & i'm jealous Jimmy! Enjoy it!
Wow - gorgeous razor, Jimmy!
Jeff
WOW! That is one sweet looking razor.
Tell us how she shaves!
That's a nice razor. It looks a lot like a Boker 1056, which is a 5/8. Your new 6/8 half hollow will be even sweeter.
My pick too. Congrats, Jimmy!
I now have a serious case of razor envy!
Congrats on a great buy, that is the best TI that I've seen in some time.
Beautifule razor... Congratulations! Glad I could "help".
That is nice. Only thing I personally would wish was different was the wash on the blade. But the blade, handle itself and the material of which it is made all "speak" to me. Come to think of it I think I've always (always being since the start of 08) been fond of the signature shape of the Thiers scales.
This and chimes face fleecers at the bottom of that page might have kick started the RAD again - thanks :tu
Congrats on the new purchase, Jimmy.
You do realize, however, that by providing the link, many straight razor users may be seperated from their hard-earned money now....
You have become.... an enabler.
Don
That is a fine choice
I also like the "FESTOONED" Blades
")
Lovely!
Tom
Nice looking razor, Jimmy! I'm sure it will be
a great shaver.

Sweet razor, Congrats Jimmy!!
It looks to be the same blade as the Festooned, I just looked at mine and it looks almost the same minus the etching and the bone scales.
It should be a great shaver indeed :cool:
I'm going to break down and buy one of these, as well. I can't put my finger on WHY I need one, but I just know it in my bones! It does call to me as well.
That thing is gorgeous!
that is one cool lookin razor!
i like the spartacus gold engraving alot too!
Wow! That looks like a razor, only fit for a Roman gladiator...'leaves the computer to dig out kilt, sandles and sword.' lolQuote:

'I am Spartacus!'
BAck to reality - we intend getting some more very nice razors from TI and cased in some very tasty scales. Watch this space!

Jimmy, that is one very sexy shaver you have there....:rock::bow
Well I'm old enough.............:rofl2:
I know ive already commented on "Sparticus" once, :D but...it is really cool to see art being done to the blade (outside of gold embossing and scales.) My very un-expert opinion thinks that blade stands alone...you could throw any ol' handle and it would still look magnificent.Quote:

Ti has been doing blade etching, worked spines and various point styles and scale materials for decades. I have an old TI Spartacus that is pre WWll.Quote:
