I did purchase the first titanium razor he made which is the new Elite series. I know it was offered to LOOT first and he passed on it and offered it to me next. LOOT and I seem to always be in line for #1 and #2 which is awesome! Murat has started making a Sailor that will be a combo of titanium and steel to start. He has finished the handle which is all titanium from what he said. I am very interested in this one depending on the weight and balance so we shall see!

A mixed metal Ti/SS concerns me for a couple reasons. Balance and weight, as you noted. How the head to handle connection is made. I'm not a metallurgist nor machinist but if it is glued together or press fit, it might take me out of that one too. Mixed metals on anything looking like a 2020-2023 Sailor is of little interest to me personally.

Glad to see you back, friend.

Yeah man, I need a lot of detail from Murat on this one. I am excited but need to know exactly how he is making it and if possible, exactly which parts are titanium and which are stainless steel. Knowing Murat’s genius engineering, it should be good to go but still need some reassurance on this one!
Glad to be back my man!!

At least, you might check for head and handle weight to make sure it has nice balance.
He made 2022 elite with hollowed handle, and its head has almost same weight with the handle. It is quite out of balance, 99 gram elite feels heavier than 2021 sailor for me. I think ti elite with solid handle would be fine.
2022 elite aggressiveness is close to sailor #1.

Not really a Rocnel post.
Very sad to see the brutal devastation the earthquake has
wreaked in Turkey. The videos and images Im seeing are
so distressing.

Prayers for Turkey and all who are there.

LOOT reminded me that Murat is there. We both sent PM’s to him on Instagram. No reply yet. I also sent one to Hassan at Barbaros. He is also there.

It's anyone's guess whether the internet is working. The authorities were urging people not to
use their phones for some reason...perhaps to keep the networks free for emergency services.

Disaster zone seems to be the South mainly....I have a feeling he is based closer to Istanbul.
Thats what the senders address on my package said.

Heard from someone who has been in touch that he is safe.
Rocnel razors are not unobtainium yet. Thankfully.
