After owning this razor for awhile, I thought, I have the entire house to myself, going to watch a good movie. Need to shave, so after 3 months, I finally, for the first time, decided to shave with the TI Eagle:

Truly the best shave I've had, needless to say a brand new razor, never used and freshly honed is always going to be a good experience, and this felt like it shaved me! No tug or pull, did 2 mixed passes, WTG, XTG and ATG and the razor skated over my beard, total BBS shave.

If ever there is a lesson in this, is that when starting out in this art, the difference between joy and frustration lies in the state of your blade. A freshly honed razor made shave ready, is a truly awesome experience.
