We're looking to offer this service soon now that we have a full-time polisher on the team. Unclear when exactly we'll offer that so I can't recommend whether you should wait or not, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

Great news! Does that mean that you will be offering polished Titanium again in the (near)future?

We got rid of titanium polishing because titanium doesn't polish very well. So I don't see that changing in the near future.

That's odd, the titanium that Wolfman and Timeless use seem to polish up very nice.

They don’t hold a candle compared to stainless. Titanium doesn’t take a mirror polish. It gets kind of shiny-matte. It’s an attractive finish, but it’s nothing like polished stainless. So we killed it for now since I don’t like it. Maybe we’ll bring it back at some point.

Suggest you'll find that they spending an inordinate amount of time with outrageously expensive tools and materials to achieve this. Recall duFour specifically issuing a communique abandoning high polish for titanium (could be a false memory or rescinded since). Not much interest in anything there currently beyond a Cu WR1 0,54DC with custom WRH2 and stand so not actively chasing his latests.

This one of reasons craftsmen such as AlanH81 are raising their prices. Alan has been polishing razors at cost or below for some time. At some point enough is enough.

Thanks to all
