Thanked: 346I've got two TI's and two Livi Takeda's (not sure if Japanese Tamahagane is considered damascus, but it is folded and has damascene patterning). My best shaver isn't one of these though. The two Livi/Takedas are excellent shavers though, and the 5/8 TI is also. The 8/8 TI is merely ok, but is the most visually impressive of the four. The 5/8 TI has held an edge very well, but it hasn't yet demonstrated any superior qualities in this department. Maybe I'll switch from the Heljestrand #31 to the TI for 5 or 6 months and see how it compares (I'll have to check my records but I think the TI has about 40 shaves on it IIRC while the Heljestrand is now in the neighborhood of 180 shaves).
