    That is a judgement call only the potential buyer can make.

    If it was the black buffalo horn, I would jump myself. I'm just not crazy of the coloring of ram horn. However, if you like the scales, and TI's are great blades, and you like it, then pull the trigger I say. It is a very nice razor no doubt.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    I've got one and it is a great shaver. I especially like the point. TI calls it a "French nose" IIRC. It was worth the price to me. YMMV.

    Is it just me or do the scales look a little long for the blade?

    Probably looks that way because the nose comes forward quite a bit from where it turns down and needs that extra room to close.

    TI has found a gold mine for sure with their "wing" series of razors.

    I like it. It kind of has that old west cowboy look to me.
    If you don't understand my thought process, please read my mind and It will all make perfect sense and should be enlightening for the both of us.

    I can't stop looking at it lol.. when i told my wife i was going into straight razor shaving it was to save money .. i told her i would only need one razor for the remainder of my life and i would be silly not to do it... Well... I never thought it would be so addicting. There is no way I'm going to save money lol... Im constantly looking for the next one lol.. I'm hooked and if anything i just found a new hobby that will run me thousands of dollars more than if i were to just use disposable razors... ah well lol.. love you hun.. haha

    I just resently picked up the Flying Eagle 7/8 in Rams Horn and I must say the scales are much better looking in person. And the size of those scales and blade is just huge .How ever it was not even close to being shave ready. Had to hit the norton 4k 8k 40 laps on the 4k 20 on the 8k 30/60 on the strop and she was ready.
