Yes my computer needs a new hard drive and the repair shop has to order it so I probably won’t get the computer back until Monday or Tuesday and then I have to finish the copy for the website that would have been finished this weekend and yes the site would have been up tomorrow afternoon by 6pm.

Let’s just say Good things come to those who wait.

I used the Diamondback on one side and the Ti on the other yesterday morning. WTG the Diamondback definitely had less blade feel, but ATG they were actually very similar. The Ti has a little more blade feel, but the lighter weight helps with smoothing it out. I found the Ti more comfortable to use due to the weight and also a bit more precise. I had two weepers on the DB side, none on Ti. Results were identical and today I can't tell a difference on either side.
Tomorrow I will use my WR1 0.61 OC against the Ti. I'm interested to compare the two, my WR1 has been my absolute favorite razor for about two years now and I've gotten rid of some great razors that I couldn't justify keeping.

Today I used the Ti and my WR1 side by side. The WR1 had a touch less blade feel and both are amazingly smooth. The Ti held the efficiency advantage for sure. Results are almost identical, although there are just a couple small spots where the WR1 didn't quite catch everything. Post shave feel is identical with no weepers anywhere. Ethos post shave is exemplary per usual, my skin doesn't get better than it is right now.
The Ti is definitely a keeper for me and would make a lot of guys really happy. The titanium is just so pleasant on the face and the weight is perfect. Efficiency is in the sort of mid to upper tier, but the blade feel does not match how efficient it is. The perfect every other day razor IMO that can certainly get you to BBS with more growth, but without the walking on eggshells feel of some of the really wild razors I've tried. My WR1 isn't going anywhere, but I may order a 0.74 SB when my name comes up next to try a bit more efficiency, I'm thinking the 0.67 might be a little too close to the 0.61 I already have.

What blade are you using?
Used the WR1 0.61 and Ti on opposite sides today. Similar results, the Ti got a bit closer and finished off trouble spots easier. A tiny bit more blade feel, but less passes required for a glassy finish. The weight and balance are so perfect it makes me second guess buying another SS razor. The WR1 requires a little less focus, but my only weeper came from the WR1 side. I'll never get rid of the WR1, but as of now, the Ti is my best shaving razor I would have to say. I would love to try a titanium Wolfman in a slightly higher gap as I think that would be a very close contest, alas, whether or not we ever see titanium from James again is up for debate I suppose.
