Or Ithildin, but the dwarves are currently on strike so unlikely to be hitting the shelves anytime soon.Mithril will be the next big thing in bespoke safety razors. You read it here first.
For me it’s a no no due to cost.
i can see why people would like them & i wouldn’t ever say i won’t get one but for me i have far to many razors i don’t use due to high aggression levels so i won’t buy another until iv tried it first.
I actually like light razors but i also like heft,
it’s all in the eye of the beholder.
The only really expensive razor i’m after is a Rocnel sailor but again i’m not paying over £1000 for it to sit in a drawer,
Anything expensive needs to be a daily shaver in my eyes.
But everyone to their own,
I guess we can have the same discussion on Stainless versus Brass,
Money is always relevant & although i can afford them i’m just to miserable
Miserable is the sensible-down-to-earth version of HappyI like miserable
I’ll need to tell the wife thatMiserable is the sensible-down-to-earth version of Happy
I hope your wearing your good running shoes when you do.I’ll need to tell the wife that
I see a few titanium razors doing the rounds and I will say I did have the pleasure of trialling the Tatara offerings. As much as I did enjoy the experience I did feel the stainless equivalents gave much the same or better in many ways.
One being the question of cost and secondly the weight. I am not one to shy away from the fact I do like a bit of heft behind a razor which gives me a greater sense of control.
I couldn't help but feel with the titanium razors it was a bit like shaving with an upmarket Bic disposable. Mind you I feel the same with aluminium, but then again aluminium costs a darn sight less so may be there is some cost vs material advantage/disadvantage in there.
I do understand the advantages of machining titanium, but not convinced with the reduction of weight in the perspective of shaving. I can see applications in the world where titanium has a distinct advantage, but in a razor? I am not sold. Even Zamac gives me more faith. After all a cheap R89 is a pretty well founded razor which delivers spectacularly at its price. I can't say the same for titanium from my experience.
Am I alone?
That I like. I have just bought a Twin-Stomp overdrive and magic prevails
No grasshopper, you are not alone. I have tried both Ti and aluminum razors and have found them (quoting "A Knights Tale") to be "wanting" .I see a few titanium razors doing the rounds and I will say I did have the pleasure of trialling the Tatara offerings.
