Well, something needs to be done to disavow these artisans of cultivating the " I can charge
anything and they will buy it" mentality.

I mean, a razor for $1200 is really taking the piss BIG TIME.

Just waiting for the Diamondback in Ti...gonna bet we will see a review that says....this thing is awesome
he really should be asking for 4 times more...just watch. This is how we screw ourselves.

My comments about the Athena really is your default position.  I get the passive aggressive arrows you throw at me every turn, I do.  It's getting old...and does not prove your point because I don't think Athena raised his prices.  You just like to blow smoke and try to provoke me.  Just as you have historically done with others.  The only difference is I have gone out of my way to be kind and generous to you from our first contact.  You are the opposite.  You take and then bite the hand when you feel the need.  I try to avoid you but that just makes you come back for more.  You are a sad man.  You destroy relationships and then try to apologize after a man is dead.  Too little, too late. smh.

The Sailor is simple, as is any other offering.  If you can't afford an item, or do not see the value in an item, the solution is pretty simple.  Don't buy it.  No one is forcing you to open your wallet. 

Now, I am really trying to be done with you, sugar. If you want to continue, do me a favor and go do it elsewhere or in a PM.  Please.

Here, a member can provide both positive and negative feedback on items or artisan actions, as long as not insulting. This does not cause any problems. However, problem occurs whenever a member criticizes another member's comments or preferences.

I don't recall ever addressing or referencing you specifically with regards to my commentary on this matter.
Is it possible you are imagining stuff? Like Lady Macbeth.

Calm down and maybe do some pew-pew instead of using me for target practice LMAO!

The preorder is limited to 100 pieces, will come more later. The razor has the same design as previous models but it looks like the titanium version of the standard model (even has brass ring). Normally, Ti razors are around 35% more expensive than those made from 316L stainless steel. I believe the standard Ti model will be very similar to MC but might be priced around 390 euros. Collectors will likely get these MC, but if you're not a collector, it might be worth waiting to get it at a much cheaper price.

He also noted, "The cost of titanium material is high. However, due to its lower processing costs, the price is lower than its stainless steel counterpart." Perhaps the standard Ti model might come at 285 euros. I recommend not rushing unless you are a collector, or you want to try the Ti model before others.

LOOT you are right on the money with Lambda razors.  Theo makes exemplary razors and keeps the price as reasonable as possible so that more people can afford and experience these superior razors.  For those who haven't been lucky enough to use one, try to find one.

RAD is just a permanently temporary condition.  I'll get over it.. eventually.

Most important:

"THE PRODUCT IS NEARLY ALL TITANIUM, INCLUDING THE ENTIRE HEAD AND HANDLE PARTS. THERE ARE A FEW STEEL PARTS IN THE MECHANISM. THE RING PIECE IS POLISHED BRASS."

In other words, still a Hybrid. LOL

I think the small components, such as springs, pin-lockers, and rings, are not made of titanium. In my opinion, when both the head and handle are made of titanium, I can call it a Titanium Razor.
