I bought these when I dropped my old ones and they broke, the new ones are much lighter and more up to date, they seem to cool quicker too

Disappointed with engraving and personalisation

Verified Purchase
Happy with the straighter, however had personalised and you can barely see it and the Lou looks like low due to the font used. Other than that they are as expected just disappointed with this which was an extra cost.
