    Not yours specifically! Plenty of Early Adopters like shiny new things. It's the same business model that entertainment companies use. Release the Razor (DVD), and when sales slow down release the Improved Model (DVD w/ directors commentary). If the maker sees a possible third sales option out comes the Titanium unit (Plus extended scenes). Some Collectors will own all three. I'm like Gary, riding the back side of the wave and happy to pick up a "vintage" slightly used or last years model (DVD bargain bin).
    I got a chance to try a Blackland Blackbird in stainless steel. It had several base plates and two lengths of handle. They are also available in brass. Buying used I'd be happy with either, though I do have an affinity for the brass being that I enjoy vintage gear. The SS would always be shiny. I could spend a few minutes each month polishing a brass Karve. Might just let it patina the way the NEW LC has.

    Screwtape A Shaving Butterfly

    Two identical shaves to finish June: Monday evening June 24 & Sunday morning June 30:

    Delta Echo refurbished Gillette Fatboy on 4 / Personna Lab Blue (1 & 2)
    APShaveCo Flat Top SynBad
    La Toja shave cream
    Alum and Lucky Tiger

    I ended June with two identical shaves a week apart. Both times the stubble disappeared to bring me back to DFS in two easy passes. I like the La Toja shave cream and have found I did just fine using it exclusively for all of my rather irregularly spaced shaves this month.r

    I will try to get back to daily or at least every other day shaves in July.
