More new TI models in C135

[Mink]

There are new TI 7/8, 1/4 hollow, LeGrelot like pattern, with a barber notch, in the new metal.

So, how much different is the C135 steel compared to the old Le Grelot blanks? I love the old blanks, and the appeal of the "singing" blades in the newer steels is losing it's appeal to me daily. Maybe I'm just too new to straights and the small differences cause a love/hate response that will die down later. Anyone have both types of razors that could comment on the differences (that are not affiliated with a vendor)? Everything about these new razors seems perfect, but I'm still not hearing that the new steel is all that great.

I can't speak for the C135 but that new one in Ivory is wow....but so is the price...

I have 3 C135s and really enjoy the shave from them. I still haven't gotten around to rehone them yet but the shaves are great. I have an old Spartacus and don't feel a difference in the shave results

Those new 7/8 LeGrelots are awesome!

Wow those really look nice. However, the next razor I'm ordering from there is going to be a Toyo Schoen Burg - just haven't decided on the model yet.

The blonde Horn has my eye for sure. I am thinking one of these new forging or a Wacker Jungmeister.

I wish I hadn't seen this thread oh well resistance is futile

Yeah I am trying to decide which I would like. I am think Buy the plastic scales and redo with nice ones later but the horn are nice too.
