Haircut & Shave Ti 083

It really looks great with the “light” polish. And I like this handle style much more than the fully-knurled one. The original longer version looked the best to me but I have this shorter one on my P076 Copper and it is pretty much equally attractive, and possibly a touch better in the hand.

Very, very keen to hear more about how it shaves and how it feels. I’ve been anticipating this razor for a while and mine will take some time for shipping and customs out here in bureaucratistan.

Ok I got a shave in with this beautiful razor. 
I'm always so impressed with with the razors Aji puts out at Haircut and Shave. 
Aji is always a great guy for me to deal with.
To me they are top notch fit and of course the finish is so very well done. 
  This razor seems fairly efficient, and pretty smooth from 1 shave. I used a Perma Sharp in the gold pack. Grooming Department Mallard soap.
  I'm one to chase a shave at times.
My tough spot, below the right jawline was about to get sensitive  with a bit of over shaving there. A bit more discomfort ATG in a couple of neck spots, than I find comfortable.
A lot of times my difficult spot and how much I have to shave, passes/strokes etc is how I end up liking a razor over another.
  I've been using The BB TI and Charcoal Goods Lvl3 3DC mostly the OC side.

That’s great feedback, Keith. The way you describe your requirements and how you judge a razor are very much the way I view things too. Do you happen to have a P076? If so, do you notice an increase in efficiency and is there any difference in blade feel?

I don't have po76 I've used it and may have actually owned it I've had so many . That sounds bad huh. I believe it was in the 17-4 and it didn't stick around long. The blade feel is similar I do know that. I believe this one is a little bit more efficient I'll try it with a feather next shave, tomorrow with two days of hair, and a different soap

The bird has landed! I'll start a new pass around thread soon so it doesn't get lost in here.

With 3 days of growth I used the H & S
83 Ti 
Feather blade (2)
 Barrister and man Soft Heart soap mixed up in a bowl
The razor has blade feel and you definitely here it's feedback. 
This was a pretty good shave but I left my toughest , below the right side jawline, with a bit more stubble than some of my gear leaves.
   Let's see how it goes from here.

I've been using the Haircut and Shave TI 083 for the last few shaves except for 1shave with the To R41.
   I have used different blades to see how it goes. It seems like blades I don't typically use work good, maybe because of the aggressive and efficiency both, as separate meanings.
     I feel like this is an aggressive razor that roughs some of my difficult, below the jawline, area up so it's very challenging in that area. 
   I used this yesterday on a 3 day growth beard and was impressed with how efficient that 1st pass was, it shined  and I expect 1 week of growth might be the same. This was with a Gillette Yellow, SharpEdge.
   I can't wait to hear other face shavers experiences with this razor.

Quick update.  12 hour growth shave.  It has the same bladefeel as the p076 with better efficiency.  Incredibly comfortable. No irritation or weepers and I had a fast shave. Keeper for sure. 10/10 for me.

That sounds like the perfect razor from my perspective. I can’t wait to get mine.

The P076 is one of my top three favourite razors, and it is the one razor that gives me the most enjoyable shaving feel - albeit not quite as long-lasting a shave as my most efficient razors. If I want I can increase the efficiency of the P076 by loosening the handle a quarter turn, and then it matches my most efficient razors to easily give me a 12-15hr dolphin smooth shave. Doing this also increases blade feel, however, so it is a trade-off. It doesn’t cause me any irritation but it is just a slightly less pleasant-feeling shave.

If the Ti 083 gives me this level of efficiency with as comfortable and enjoyable a feeling as the P076 set normally then I really can have it all.

Moriarty what are your most efficient razors you’re referring to?

I am comparing to my Rocnel Sailor, Blackland Blackbirds, Blackland Tradere OC, Timeless Slim 0.5, and Timeless Bronze 0.78 OC. Those are the razors that give me the close, long-lasting shave that I consider ideal - 12-15 hours with no stubble that I can feel even when I press on my skin. All of them can deliver this result reliably for me without excessive buffing. I do not have any razors that shave closer than those, at least on my face and hair.

By the way, with further experimentation I find that I can get pretty comparable results with my P076 if I only loosen the handle 1/8th to 1/6th of a turn, and with that it doesn’t increase blade feel noticeably, so I have high hopes for the Ti 083.
