Titanium? Blackbird? Blackland Skunkworks is on the move....

Guitar, how do you like the first one, which I presume is stainless?

So far, I like titanium versions of the same razor in stainless. Timeless, and Carbon.

Shane, will you ever offer the 101mm handle in Ti?

Maybe. I know I'm going to get a ton of requests for the 101mm and the OC. But the reality is that very few people actually buy these options despite the vocal minority who love them. It doesn't matter quite as much in SS because it's less expensive and sells (probably) better than Ti. But Ti is so damn expensive to make (really, really expensive) that it's important to keep this offering limited to what actually sells. While we're on the topic, it's also possible that the 101mm handle dies again altogether, but that's a discussion for another day.

Will you be selling the head by itself for those of us that prefer a longer handle?

Shane, I am assuming that the SS OC Base Plate will work with the Ti Top Cap and Ti Handle (??)
THAT would be a reasonable solution/alternative to those that want a OC version of the Ti Blackbird.

Do you know what the approximate weight difference would be between the SS Top Caps and Base Plates VS. the Ti versions?

Not for now.

Correct. You can swap plates as you'd like to. I've done this and it's a cool mid-weight option. Nearly impossible to visually tell that you've mixed metals.

Weights rounded to the half gram:

Ti Cap: 8g
SS Cap: 15g

Ti SB plate: 12.5g
SS SB plate: 22.5g
SS OC plate: 24g

Ti handle: 33.5g
SS handle: 59g

Ti Stand: 66.5g
SS stand: 117.5g

Thanks Shane!

Shane, if you'd send me a free razor I'd be happy to give you my valued opinion on it. No need to thank me.

Best of luck with the razor, Shane. Unfortunately, it is way out of my budget. Maybe, at some point in the future.
