Timeless owns the shop and makes these themselves would be my guess as to why their prices are lower. Just a guess though.

That is probably correct. Timeless makes everything related to razors in house. They used to sell their own handles on ebay about 10 years ago for $15 including shipping. On the other hand Blackland uses various shops to make their razors and accessories.

And Ti is more in this razor ... Of course, I understand that every seller sets the price as he wants. But, nevertheless, I wanted to get at least some understandable answer.

Respectfully, I’m not going to do this. The Vector Ti is priced at what I believe is the correct price point for this product. If it’s too much, I understand and the stainless version will be back soon.

I recently revisited a Vector SS. Spent two weeks exclusively shaving with its SS version SB base plate. With a persona blade it is in the tame efficiency category for me as WR1.67, WR2 .1.25 and is very close to my all-time favorite Blackbird Ti. I also enjoy how it feels on my skin, especially ATG.

The $390 price tag (machined + stand) is substantial, but comparing to other high end razors it’s is VERY competitive. Given the current market, I fully agree with Shane that the Vector Ti is priced at a correct price point.

After about 8 years in this hobby, the Vector is now the only razor I own. I was happy to pick up the Ti version as well, and having owned several titanium razors previously, I think it's priced fair.

I've placed order couples days ago, and today I emailed them regarding the open comb to check maybe they have it in the store, because on the website its out of stock, for me shaving without the blade feel is not a shave.
I've check in ebay but nothing is there.

In my opinion, the SB Vector does provide a very pronounced, yet delicate blade feel. I use both SB and OC and find them very similar in this regard, though the OC is my go-to baseplate when I have 48+ hrs growth.

As of late, I've been "all about" titanium....when it comes to DE razors, that is. I've been using a polished SS Vector head with a titanium artisan handle (same dimensions as the stock handle) since early March 2020. That setup has been amazing. And with the ti handle, the weight and balance are perfect for my hand.

I mulled over getting the ti Vector, but I think for once I'll abstain from upgrade'itis, hahaha. The polished SS Vector is a gem and will be in my stable for the rest of my life. Those who have never tried the Vector: man, if you have a chance, or if you can afford the blind buy, give it a shot. The Vector is a serious accomplishment that I'll always be happy I gave a shot.
