Whatcha after Max?

You're probably gonna laugh but after I kept reading about those high gaps which made my head spin I decided to double shim my WR 1.20. Feeler gauge came back around 1.40. 
I couldn't believe how smooth and efficient that shave was. At first I thought it was a fluke so I did it again for several shaves and each time I was blown away. I could easily have stopped after the second pass but I enjoy doing 3 passes. To me blade feel is way less than my WR1 .61/.67. Different, but less. I still can't believe how easy and super efficient it is. A double shimmed 1.20. I've tried it with my top 3 blades (Personna Red / Gillette Platinum Black / Voskhod) and the results are very similar in terms of efficiency and smoothness.

I remember Herbert herbert7890 having the exact same experience when he double shimmed his 1.15. I tried 3 shims and it was still smooth (maybe a bit less) but there was way more blade feel and I had to be more careful. The efficiency was pretty much the same but at the expense of losing some comfort. I tried it several times but I favor the double shim hands down. Maybe my technique has improved, maybe my beard and skin is changing as I'm aging,...  I have no clue but what I do know, it works for me.

I find 1.55 SS to be smooth as silk and as efficient as a razor can be.

I have been on the hunt for a 145Ti and finally managed to trade for one. A friend asked privately to see a picture of my titanium set, so I thought I'd post here for some eye candy, since they are rarely all clean at the same time.

Not sure if I'm going to order though, really happy with my WR1 OC standard gap and prefer the older brushed finish.

I filled out my form in December, and haven't received the proceed to order!! Anything I can do?

Should I email the "orders" email address or the "jdcncmachining" email address?

Is this your second order or third one? He was only accepting two orders per person before.

I paid for Turkish friends who don't have paypal. Then I had a problem with my second order. 
Even the razor shipped to different address. They canceled my second order. Tara said "they did not allow more than 2 at this time".
But It was before new year. Then I registered with different email, I am waiting to receive my second order now.

Oh, yeah that's good to know as I'm on the 3rd strike coming up. 
I'll put it on hold and wait for Titanium, I guess.
