Thread: My new TI= great reazor

Approximately 2 weeks ago, I purchased a brand spanking new TI Spartacus.
6/8-7/8 Spanish point 1/2 hollow ground, Festoned back, with horn scales and made with historic steel.
I got it yesterday and here I am reporting my first impressions.
The razor came prehoned, I shaved with it and got a very nice shave.
I am a bit out of synch with thinner grounds, because I use a 1/4 hollow but even when I was too careful the Spartacus came through nicely.

Here are some pics of it and its buddy.

Beautiful razor. That sexy razor is Radokadonk! Congrats while the rest of us are drooling.

I thought this razor is identical to Glen's TI Eagle. My only thing that it was not the same was the information on the seller website that the spartacus was 6/8. When I looked at the razor it seemed asymmetric a bit, but I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me untill I looked at the label in the picture of the box. The blade is indeed asymmetric 6/8 at the heel , 7/8 at the point. I am not sure but I think some of the old choppers have asymmetry like that.
I find this feature of my razor pretty cool.

Very nice razor. 1/2 grind sounds great.

Ohhhh maaann, sweeeet. I want one too. How much does that one cost? I wonder if it's a real extra special challenge to hone. Gimme gimme.

Wow, what a beautiful razor.
I just love TI, and 1/2 grind sounds absolutley smooth.
What exactly are those scales?
Blonde horn?

Those are some great looking scales right there!
The worked spine gives her a touch of class.

Congratulations

Nice Mac petty knife, too!
