  I found the TI on ebay for a very reasonable price, it’s really beautiful with the pattern on the back.

  I mainly lost my ability to only get the lather on the blade, and not further back - but it’s coming back.

    I never had that ability. I like runny lather, and on east-west passes with the point up, there’s always lather getting into the pin. I just dry the razor as well as I can and let it air-dry for the rest, and I never ran into trouble. Knocking on wood.

      On my first try in September, some lather ran into the pin, and I visibly didn’t dry enough, because there’s now some slight staining where the scales cover in closed position the tang - I hope it’s not fully rusting around the pin (touching wood)

        @PorkButtsNTaters666
        I should mention that I keep the pins slightly oiled (with Dovo razor oil, which I think is a generic mineral oil). So even when lather/water gets to the pin, it's really unlikely to get into the pub hole and sit for a long time.
