THis came in the mail yesterday, going to use it today after a good stropping to see what the factory edge is like. This is my second TI, the other being a 7/8 with a thumb notch that I picked up last year. I expect this will be a good shaver, and will probably need to hit the stones to get it shave ready, but we'll see.

Beautiful razor you have there and the scales are quite nice as well.
Indeed, beautiful blade stunning scales!Enjoy!
Nice razor!! I like my TI's a lot.
If you want to test that factory edge, do a test shave first without stropping, and then stop and strop to see what the difference is. Inquiring minds want to know!! :D
Enjoy that beautiful razor!!
Regards,
Howard :)
Your name inspired me to strop the heck out of this razor before it's first shave, and I'm glad I did. I ran it through an Illinios 827, then a SRD Premium I. This is the fifth new razor I have purchased (and the last), and this is the first one that felt truly shave ready. I had a nice smooth 2 pass shave, and am BBS. This steel felt silky smooth, reminds me of Sheffield steel. Anyhow, glad I got this razor.Quote:

i guess that it will work very well.....a few passes on finish stone and goooooo!!!! :D
Congratulations!!!:beer1:
Ha! I didn't even catch that. I guess it is, I thought it was that C135 stuff. Either way, it's of no consequence. It's a good razor and I'll keep the factory edge until it needs a touch-up, and at that point I may reset the bevel and hone it up.Quote:

great shaver but the dos festonne are great and look like a classy razor
Gentlemen, I must say these are beautiful razors. I've had two different models of the "Festonne" in the past and sold both. Pardon me while I kick myself in the tokhus. On the other hand, my birthday is next month.
Nice find! I've always liked the looks of that particular model. If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy it?
I'm with Ryan
I also love that model
One of my most wanted list of razors it that same looking Le Canadien
Congrats on a beauty :)

Holy smokes the scales on that are smoking! what ARE they!??!
Grey and black ram's horn. I admit they look nice, nicer than how they show in the pictures.Quote:
