I examined both razors under the scope today and the results were suprising. The last time I checked last week the second TI which by the way is a Wolf and sheep black horn handle 6/8s had many microchips along the edge. Many of those chips seemed to be smoothed out this time. Not perfect but noticeably better than the last time. Also the lines in the bevel appeared to be finer and most important the lines stopped near the edge and the edge was very highly polished, very smooth in appearance with respect to the surface of the metal not the geometry of the cutting surface.
SRP 38 had many more lines extending about half way down the bevel and then they faded out. But in this razor the edge was not smooth like the other TI but had a stippled surface. The edge didn't have the chips like the other but was smooth and intact. I also looked at SRP 39 and its surface appeared like SRP 38 just with more scratch lines which were more pronounced than 38.
Check back for more updates.
