Haircut & Shave Ti 1.30 with a 102mm handle DFS passaround

I will be doing my final review shortly, but would like the get the razor shipped out for the next reviewer. "boilerphan" are you still interested in the passaround? I sent you a message for your shipping info a week ago.

Yes, absolutely.  Please share tracking information with me via DM once it's on the way.

Will do. Please reply to my first DM with shipping info so I can get it out. Thanks.

Done.  Sorry, I thought I have already responded.

No worries!

Final thoughts!
I was able to get 2 more shaves with this razor after the first. Both of them were good and very similar to the first. It was a close efficient shave, but I did end up with some irritation every time. No weepers after the first shave though.

I think this gap is what H&S co was shooting for with the .80 model. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the .80 and the .76 when I was trialing it. The 1.30 is noticeably more efficient than the .76. I think I was able to get better shaves due to the larger gap and more generous "sweet spot". I am a huge fan of the machined finish as it is much easier to care for opposed to the high polish.

Even with the large gap, this razor is still small enough to get into all of the nooks and crannies, and remains very maneuverable. The long handle seemed to balance the razor well, but got in the way when shaving XTG. I usually prefer shorter handles as I have smaller hands. Not a deal breaker though, being Ti the handle is still relatively light.

Thank you to andrewjs18 for setting up the passaround. The razor was shipped out yesterday morning to the next participant.

I am a little behind in posting my feedback, but I had my first shave on Monday with 1.5 days of growth. I normally shave 3 passes plus cleanups, but only needed two passes and a couple very light buffing on a couple spots.

The razor was very well balanced and so easy to maneuver around the face. I couldn't believe how smooth it was given the efficiency it also provides. I had just a couple of dots that closed up with just a cold water rinse. I took the alum stick over my face to see if I detected any further feedback and I did not have any areas that exhibited any irritation.

The longevity of the shave was 14-15 hours until I had any noticeable signs of stubble and it was just a few spots. Twenty four hours later, I had a light cover of stubble, but not enough to shave.

When I began using DE safety razors 4.5 years ago, I preferred heavy razors and didn't have great experiences with lighter razors, including titanium. As my journey has progressed, no doubt my skill has also improved. Usage of this razor was exceptionally fun for me to re-evaluate titanium as an option. This razor is certainly a competitor for my next razor purchase.

I plan on shaving with it once more on Thursday and then cleaning it up and sending to the next person on the list.

Thanks to andrewjs18 and Aji for allowing me the opportunity to participate in your passaround!

andrewjs18 will you switch me and the participant after me? I already have the Alpha Bandit and the Konsul is supposed to be on its way to me.

My final thoughts...

I shaved for the 2nd time last Friday and had a shave much like my first in terms of efficiency and longevity of the shave. I did not have any nicks and zero irritation. It was 14-15 hours before I noticed any regrowth of stubble. I had 4 days of growth and the razor removed growth incredibly even on the WTG pass. I followed up with an ATG pass and just some light buffing without additional soap on my jawline.

The handle on this razor is also very good for me, given how easy it is to control around my face. I can't imagine that this razor wouldn't be one of my next purchases.

I cleaned/sanitized the razor and sent to CK89 on Saturday. Thanks again for the chance to participate in the passaround.

andrewjs18 I haven't received the package yet, due to USPS.
I called them couple of days ago, and they started an investigation through the local post office.
Still waiting for USPS call. Hope to receive razor soon. Everything is still fine, since boilerphan insured the package.
