djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 1 year agoI would have been surprised if you didn’t buy a razor at that store :)
Yeah, same 😅
The geometry on my two TIs has not been an issue.
That’s reassuring to hear!
That said, the only factory edge I have liked so far is Koraat’s.
The only other factory edges I’ve tried were on my two Ralf Austs, and those were great. Did you not like yours?
I know that Brad Maggard hones Böker razors before he sells them, but not Ralf Aust, which leads me to suspect that Böker factory edges might also not be great.

I did not give my Aust edge much of a chance because I bought that razor about a month after buying my high-powered microscope. I had already honed my TI Le Grelot when I received my Aust and its factory edge was not as clean as what I could produce. At that time I was relying far too much on visual results and had far less experience interpreting edge condition at very high magnification.

I’m still using the factory edge on mine. They’re really good!
Time to get serious and use an AFM to take 3d measurements 😅

I’ve considered this (as you might have guessed) :)
