Progress, finally! :y

I did more very light (rolling x) laps on the DMT 1200 than I can to mention and only managed to get the the toe sharp. Out of frustration, I did about 50 with a little...

Is the tang the same as shown in my picture?



I believe the letter indicates production batches of blades.

UPDATE:



The replacement razor arrived Friday and I started working on it this weekend. This one came fairly dull, but with no noticeable warp and a decent bevel. After less than 45 minutes on...

Nah, it's not that difficult. Just watch which part of the blade is pushing/undercutting water as you rock through the stroke. Like all honing, it takes a little while to build up the muscle memory...

That's it exactly!

Mine has a smile, too. The edge is pretty much parallel to the spine, so I think TI deliberately made them with smiles. What you're describing sounds completely normal for smiling blades. I (and...

I consider that response, ironically, condescending. It's well known that many manufacturers sell the same items under different labels. It's a way for them to increase profits by increasing sales...

I decided to order one . . . after all, how bad could a brand new TI for $105 be? It arrived today and measures bang on 6/8" from back of spine to edge and has good heft and quality of manufacture. ...

I've been jonesing for a TI for some time, but I've been reluctant to pay what they cost. The Art of Shaving sells a 5/8 full hollow for $105. It appears to be the same as the Evide Sonnant Extra,...
