Thanks Jim, I can't believe the difference in smoothness between the SS and The Ti. It makes you question if the geometry changed. Mind blown. At $300 I doubt I'll ever own one (Just can't justify it for my circumstances) but color me IMPRESSED 1 shave in !

Happy Tuesday Everyone. I am still sticking with the creams and bowl lathering. I will say my results are improving but I don't see myself bowl lathering soaps. Three passes and touch ups just missed the baby. My lower right neck proved to be my nemesis once again. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

 

Nice! Most reviews say the Ti version feels like a different razor.
Added to my want list. Gotta be polished though.

I've read those reviews and just had the doubts in my mind how that could be possible if the geometry is the same. Had the experience it for myself and I have to agree that they are spot on. Congrats and hope you land one when they get around to doing the polished!

Good morning!

Another terrific shave to start the day! I played with the settings today. I used I, III and V. Just a smooth and easy three pass shave.

Tenth shave with the Sailor. Third shave on the Platinum Lux, time for a blade swap. This is when I usually switch razors. I'm not sure I'm ready to put the Sailor aside. I'll decide tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Great shave Barry! Enjoy your day!

 

Veddy nice shave Dave! Have a super day!

 

Awesome shave Clint. I am with you on the bowl lathering. However, I am going to bowl lather tomorrow just to change it up.

 

You said you use a lot of products beginning with C, thus I acted accordingly. Now that I see your reply I probably should have deleted my attempt at humor.

 

Terrific shave Jim! Great photo and nice gear! Have a great day!

 

Thanks for the explanation. I just was not thinking along your lines.
