Hi Keith, it has to shave differently.  One has a .7 gap (Ti) and the other .9 (SS).

For me the 90SB is a bit more efficient but the Ghost Ti is smoother and I can still attain a bbs.
My preference leans towards lighter heads so I usually choose the Ghost Ti.

Of the three, Ti Ghost, Ghost 90SB SS and the Salient, I prefer the Ti Ghost for a close everyday shave. The only similarity I see between the Ghost vs Salient is the blade clamping... similar to the Blutt or Wolfman Guerrilla. The bottom geometry of the baseplate is different and the head is thinner/flatter.

Admittedly, as my first purchase of a China made razor, I was surprised and impressed. I use mine paired with a Ti Windrose handle for a light nimble shaver.

Mike Hi, I thought Sweeney has or had both at some point. I did see the gaps are different  too.

Yep that makes total sense. They sound fairly close to each other as one would expect. Ti is a nice addition.

dtownvino Right now, it looks that this Ti razor has a discount. Around $87.5:

I tried the .70 and enjoy it very much.  2.5 pass shave and we will see how long the BBS lasts but I can say this - it is more efficient than the Karve Overlander by a good bit yet quite gentle, similar to how I remember the Overlander.  

In fact - I used my highest strength alcohol splash after and no burn.  

This will make for a good “my skin needs a break from aggressive razors” and there are times when I just want and need a mild shave - bingo!

Sometimes I need to reel myself back in and here is one that will be a keeper.

Calm_Shaver  you are right about the satin finish, I don’t think I’ve seen one this bright and uniform.  It is the best Satin finish I have seen.

Hey Mike, happy to hear the Titanium Ghost is working out for you and it will be a keeper in your den.  Yaqi did an incredible job on the Satin finish, it has great glide with no drag whatsoever. I found it more efficient than the Overlander with similar smoothness as well.

Flipping: Is it legal? Yes. Is it Ethical? No, if one wants to be a respected member of a community. 

A "no flipping" rule would be too hard for mods to enforce. Better to call out the offending flipper in some way. It is hard, if not impossible, to shame the shameless, but at least put others on alert that the item is a flip.
