    That's one fine looking razor you got there. That's also a nice looking brush. I have a TI with an identical shaped blade, but different scales and no etching. I guess I was fortunate that when I got the razor, it was friggin sharp. Actually a little too sharp. I was able to tone it down a little so it's more comfortable. Glad you were able to get it sharp. Here is a picture of mine. You can see the resemblance of the two blades.Name: ti1.JPG Views: 404 Size: 333.9 KB

    OCD hilarious! Great analogy!

    Skippy, nice one you've got there too! I was lucky enough to trade for mine and both parties ended up happy. There's no way I could afford one of these new! It shaves just as well as my vintage #14 Eugenio Hoppe Frog King (same #14 as vintage fillies) that I bought for $23 on ebay! I'll be using this razor... every other shave; until I get sick of it.

    I did see that in another post Glen, Maybe I'll have to get a hold of Ironsidegnr and put it through the paces on that. The edge I've produced on this right now really is incredible but if that's the way to push it to it's limits... No natural stone after, straight up 12k and strop?

    Skippy, do you recognize that brush? It sounds like you may have used one in the past?

    oh man... i just found this refference to Eugenio hoppe razors, I agree with you, i have one of those #14 Eugenio hoppe, witht he frog king onthe handles.. it loos very much like a 14 fillies... it's extremelly sharp and it hones so easily!.. also the shaves are among the best Iż've tried in my noob time of using SRPs (shaaaarp as a red imp or more!).. blade is very flesible too.. i'm wondering if there's any connectio between this eugenio hopppe and the fillies cause it looks just the same! and mine coste $15.5 in ebay!

    great razor!
    honing my mind...
