G....I hit him up on IG for Ti. He didn't outright say "No"...there is hope, I 'spose. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Ha!

Just sent him a message on IG. I will send him a lengthy email arguing my point via email to him once he responds.

Thanks Mark. As you know, opened up the '19 can be a handful. I ran the '20 today opened up one full turn back to the dot and it was similar to the '19 on 2 or 3. That bite in the blade is pretty much gone.

I'll run them against each other and against the Wolf den to get a better feel.

Less blade feel and smoother sounds just what was needed. Needs to be lighter. Still the 2019 is an exceptional razor

I'm told the production model, if produced, will be different in finish and handle pattern. This razor has a Zaratsu polish job. I'd not heard of it before but is used on the Grand Seiko line of uber expensive wristwatches. I've yet to really study the hows/whys of the polish but it's pretty nice.

First shave was very nice. Blade feel is much less than the prior model. It's also quite a bit smoother. The 2019 weighs 145g. The new one weighs a whopping 175g. The head is taller and wider. Even so, I had no issues under the nose. The knurling isnt sharp like the prior model but presented no issues. Despite the heft, just like the '19, it balances pretty will.

As much as I like the 2019, initial impressions are the 2020 is a superior razor. This one needs to be done in raw titanium. It would take it up to 12, I'm sure.

I'm hoping this razor makes it into production. [Image: 13b262ff433162a06d0c2aa380ace3a3.jpg][Image: def6df185762cbccf9932fb71b51e6f8.jpg][Image: 077da5d7dda118fda7ea3b56ff36e422.jpg][Image: 526ba3f65014710ffc83860468c0f0d8.jpg][Image: b33a9479f373311643dd7c58bac6ad1c.jpg]

Is that a razor or a sledge hammer? Haha

I asked him for Titanium one in Turkish forum 10 days ago.
He replied "it could be in titanium, but the quality of work will drop and the production cost will be increased unnecessarily".

175 grams is really heavy.. Next model hope not gonna go to 200 grams.

This is the next model. The first 4 are the prototypes for the future production models. Those 4 sold quickly for high dollar amounts. I really want the production model in titanium. I would pay for it if I have it by then.
