    Default Art of Shaving TI Razors

    Does anyone know if AOS TI is a C135 blade? Or what model of TI it is equivalent to? AOS site only says it's carbon steel. We can exclude that it's not a Le Grelot or Sheffield Steel model, but is it C135? It seems that AOS uses only 1 blade with more fancy handles for different price range.

    I not very familiar with this razors, maybe some owners of this razors can help you. But still I think that you can ask this question directly in AOS, they might know

    The last 10 or so I have honed are the "Z" stamped blades, you have to check TI's website on if that is the C135

    I own two, but have no other TI except a Le Grelot. One is stamped R and the other is V.

    I sent AOS an e-mail. I will post here once I get an answer from them. I cannot find TI website (only one I found is in the UK, which I think is a vendor).

    I have honed a few, and I like the steel. It seems to be on ther harder side, which I like for a hollow grind. No idea if it's the c135, though. Oh, and I remember seeing a few different stamps, but I can't remember what they were.
