Great shaver. Plenty of gap available. Smooth....and the lighter weight is really enjoyable. It's easier to wield. I've used the Ti 5 or 6 times and is continues to impress. I predominantly run all of mine one full twist back to the dot for the first pass and they all eliminate any amount of growth in 1 pass. I can't seem to clog it either. The limiting factor on rinsing is the amount of lather I want running down my hand. The Ti is special....as is the 2020.
Didn't like the hybrid? perhaps it is a good compromise between SS and TI, perhaps for those who cannot use razors that are too light

My previous experience was limited to Taiga (steel) and Sailor 2003 Hybrid (borrowed from a friend).
The Taiga was a smooth but blade corners were scratching my face while using it parallel to ground. Why like that? My hair growth in my neck is rearwards. Normally I use straight razor or shavette. But I can’t get a close shave below the jawline with them. So I use safety razor for additional ATG passes.
Before that my best razor was Charcoal Goods Gen3 Lv1 followed by Tatara Masamune. This was a good addition.
In the case with Hybrid Sailor. Beside a good (but not as good with Titanium head) ATG performance, I felt that razor head was heavy and the razor was heavy also. It was smooth but was not as with Titanium. The design of razor was heavy so I thought that it will benefit more from Titanium lightness. Then I contacted with Murad (I’m living in Turkiye like him). He advised steel but I opposed to him. He talked about to releasing near end of this year but, after sometime he decided to bring earlier (May).
In overall, even though it’s a high investment, I think it’s worth for every penny. It can be considered as one of the best developed razor design, if not the best one.
Full Titanium adds more smoothness in a lighter weight to steel one.
P.S. rocnel Murad, you know, what I’m asking for the future. Alp
