Thread: My New/Old TI 69

new TI 69. picked this one up only because it was a frameback. i have/had no interest in a TI unless i came across a frameback. then this one threw itself at me. i had to jump on it. has a chip in the edge that will come out easily. like many others have said, the scales suck. finished product did not hold up to the years. scales are seperating from the wedge. they are uneven, so they will be gone soon enough. i have some brazilian rosewood that i think will do well. should be a pretty easy clean up.

btw, i got this for less than $40 delivered to my door. a deal to me!!!

Thats very cool! I really like the old framebacks!

This TI seems to explain the association people always make between straight razors and porn -- the "69"? Those crazy french. Heh.

I like the style of framebacks, but the frame on the back has to be fused to the rest of the razor in one solid piece, otherwise I skip on them.

I had one that looked like that, but I got rid of it.

I wouldn't mind that one, though... with better scales, as you plan.
